in the depth of their holes. AS a matter
of fact very few of the holes go To wa
ter. Prairie dogs require practically no
water, so far as drinking it is concerned.
The moisture in the roots and vegetation
that they eat provides their supply. 1t Is
true, however. that the holes in which
they make their homes are usually of
great depth. | once followed hole 20
a depth of 80 feet in digging well, and
even then ! did not come to the bottom
of it.
Although prairie dogs live in the midst
of various kinds of predatory wild ami
mails such as the wolf, wildcat and some
times the Mexican panther, which would
naturally love to feast upon them, they
are so quic'l and willy as to have little
to fear from these natural enemies. At
the first appearance of danger the prairie
dog rives n warning squeak and darts In
To his hole giving its enemy the high
sign of ridicule with a wiggle of its dis

real enemy of tho prairie dog. When \
hadger wants a square meal II simply
digs its way into a dog hole and eats
the whole family. In every prairie dog
community there are probably several
badger homes, knowing the usefulness
of that animal in destroying prairie dogs,
/ never kill one of them.
1T is a common fallacy on the part
of many people that rattlesnakes and
prairie dogs live together in harmony
in the holes. Nothing could he farther
from the truth. If YOU want to see the
dogs scamper out of their underground
home just let n rattlesnake or other rep
tile crowd into it. 1t is seldom that a
rattlesnake will venture into live hole

Prairie dogs are very exclusive in their
family relations. 1t is an offense that
usually brings on a fight between the an
imalS for the dog of one family TO enter
the hole of another. II is only when bad

family home is entered by a neighhorinS
dog Even then the unlimited visitor is

appears. Rabbits often seek refuge in

Newell grabbed the cant hook out of his
hands and they had a clinch Finally
Newell was struck with cant hook on
the back by Wheeler. and it helped
knock him over. The two rolled over
and Newell got to his feet Then Wheeler
grabbed him by the collar and pulled
him down. Spauding got on top of him
and Wheeler kicked him in the nose
and in the mouth, so that they bled

and he went, but said he would return.
