THE VALUE OF THE
 SKUNK TO AGRICULTURE

The skunk, which is represented throughout the country by a num- Der of varieties, genera, and species is an animal of great economic inn portance. It's food consists very largely of insects, mainly of those species which are very destructive to garden and forage crops. Field observations and laboratory exam ination demonstrate that they des- troy immense numbers of white grubs, grasshoppers, crickets, cut worms, hornets, wasps, and other noxious forms. The alarming in- crease of the white grub in some localities is largely due to the ex. termination of this valuable ani- mal.
 It is a matter of common obser- vation where white grubs are par ticulary abundant in cornfelds to note little round holes burrowed in the ground about hills of corn.
 In connection with the work of the range caterpillar investigation in northeastern New Mexico it has been found that skunks destroy a great many of the pupR (chrysalis) of the caterpillar, and in fact, dur ing September and October when :hls food is easily available, they prefer it to all other. About the middle of September it was discov- cred that many webs were empty, the pupE having been neatly ex- tracted from the web and either carried off or eaten. In many areas containing hundreds of acres from 25 to .75 per cent of the pupE has been carried off, while in few isolated places as high as 95 per cent of the Hemileuca (Mexican range caterplllaI) pupa were gone Following these observations, piles of skunk excrement, were found which consisted in some cases al- most entirely of pupa shells. Subsequent counts made show the excrement found to have from 60 to o5 per cent of its contents con- sisting of these crushed shells. On the Crow Creek Ranch there was not an acre observed but what had some of the Hemileuca pupe de- stroyed by these animals. It is thus seen that the common skunk is at the present time one of the inn factors looking toward the control of Hemileuca cut breaks and should be protedted by the ranchers in the infested district. These are made by skunks in their search during the night for these grubs. During the recent outbreak of grasshoppers in Kansas it has been determined that in many cases a larg9 proportion of the food of the skunk consisted of grasshop- pers.
 Some of the most de. tru tive in- sects in agriculture are such as do their work below ground and out of reach of any method that the far mer can apply, and it is against many of these that the skunk is an enemy Notwithstand ing all of this, there is probably not an animal that is as rutnlesslv as is this one, whereas it is equally entitled to protect ion with, if not more so, than some of our birds which enjoy this privi lege.
 In some regions, especially in the Southwest, the bite of tn skunk is supposed to produce hy- drophobia. This fear is unfound- ed since it is proved that the bite of healthy skunk is no more se rious than similar wounds caused by other agencies

If the Eagle Tail mine had been 10.

The title had lapsed, and the land
had reverted to the government-all

monuments, location notice at the
discovery shaft. a pick and shovel
thrown into the hole, and few legal
tormalities.
But In Mexico 1t is different. Not
that the legal formalities are lacking
far from it-but the whole theory of
mines and mining is different. In Mex
leo a mining title is. In way. a lease,
a concession from the general gov

the right to work a certain piece of
ground and to hold 1t as long as he
pays a mining tax of three dollars an
acre pear year.
