PRAIRIE DOG POISON TRIED
Field Agent OF Agricultural Depart.
ment Gives Demonstration on 200
Acre Plot in Mckenzie County.

Watforl.-U. S. Elmer, field agent
of the department of agriculture, was
in Mckenzie county demonstrating

kota agricultural college and organ.

Agent johnson, campaign against
the dogs which it is hoped will be the
means of Kidding the county of its last
dog town next spring.
Though the prairie dogs which used
to thickly populate this section are
now nearly all gone from the farnl-
ing areas there are still many towns
in the ranching sections and on the
unbroken lands of the homesteaders.
They are a great pest to the ranchers
as they destroy root and stalk wher-
ever they build their towns and leave
the range bare as floor. The home
steaders also have grievance again
ct them, for they often I'LL their bur-
row granaries for the winter from the
crops Of some nearby breaking.
Mr.. Elmer gave a demonstration on
one of the large ranches where an area
of over 200 acres has been SO infested
with the dogs that for years it has not
produced enough grass to support
single herd of stock. The poison was
placed about the burrows and at the
end of "a hours just two dogs were
found to be still alive. 1t is estimated
about 5000 were killed. The cost of
clearing does not exceed 10 or Is cents
an acre. '-

on farm near Buckner.
But when Mr.. Hudspeth died three
weeks ago, everyone forgot about Pete
There were so many things to be
looked after that the grief-stricken
family left him to his own devices.
Beyond Dogs Understanding.
1t had been a strange day for Pete.
Early in the morning the people who
came to the house had routed him out
Of his place in front of the door where
he had lain during the two weeks his
master was in bed.
They wouldn't let him in where his
| master was. not even in the house, al
though he tried to get in several times
And then finally they brought his mas.
ter out in big box and everybody
went down the road with him. Pete
went along, Of course.
They went on across the railroad
tracks and up the rock road.
He stopped with the rest of them at
the place where the white stones stood
about in the grass and watched them
all go over to big hole in the ground.
But his master wasn't amongst them.
Perhaps he wasn't in the big box after
all. He'd probably stopped in town as
lie always did, and Pete, foolish dog,
hadn't noticed it. 1t was much more
likely than that his master was in that
box they were putting down in the
hole.
So Pete started back. The loungers
OH the bank steps called to him as he
stopped there. but he paid no attention
to them. They watched him trot on

road to the farm.
Waiting in Cemetery.
The sexton, working late that night,
heard whining among the graves.
When he came to the newest one he
found Pete. The dog lay OH the grass
at the side of the headstone and would
not come away when he sexton left.
The next morning he was still there
Since then Pete has never missed
day at the graveyard. When he
turns in from the road he goes straight
to the Hudspeth lot and stays there for
hours at time. The sexton has no
ticed his restlessness. He haunts
around among the stones only to re.
turn to his masters grave Finally
he goes back to town and makes once
more the round of the stores.
Sometimes he goes out to the farm
then. Sometimes he goes back to the
graveyard and the sexton finds him in
the morning whining at the mound of
earth. Always he has restless.
troubled air as he searches for some
one who cannot be found.
And there he sits at his masters
