BADGERS VS.. PRAIRIE DOGS

Recently rancher near Sargents
was asked if he was going to need
any poisoned grain for prairie dogs.
He said, "Well, I hardly think so,
not this year, at least"
Whats the reason; aren't the
prairie dogs still bad in the upper
field?"
No not any more. They We're very
bad last summer, but a badger
moved in last winter and about
cleaned them out. He's still there.
and l hope he makes a clean job of
it."
1t is a fact, not very commonly
known, that the badger is one of the
natural checks on the increase of
prairie dogs and ground squirrels.
Possessed of voracious appetite
for fresh meat and with a powerful
set of digging arms, he can dig a
prairie dog out of the deepest hole
and in the hardest ground in a very
short time. 1t is true that he leaves
much larger hole than the one he
found, but it gradually fills up, and
once gone is gone forever. The Bio
logical Survey in it's poisoning cam
paigns against range destroying ro-
dents, is very careful that the bad.
gers come to no harm through them
and are very glad to leave one or
more in prairie dog town to COM
plete the work which they started,
for there are usually one or more
dogs which will not eat the poison
prepared for them.-The Salida
Mail.

FARMER PUTMAN's PHILOSOPHY

It's too bad fur a woman to be so
dumb about some things as josephine
is. l was writin' her the other day
to the ranch that Prof. Maynard in
vited me to be sure and come over to
the feedin' pens on Feeders Day,
June 1, and see the steers and she
writes back and sez:
Dear Tom: Of course l knowed
you'd go to Feeders day. If theys
anything on earth that you're better
at than somethin' other it's feedin'.
You're the champeen feeder Tom, and
no mistake. If I had your appel tite
fur good feed I'd git out patent
on it and notify all feeds which
you're goin' to attend that all rights
is reserved by you under your patent.
Why don't you ever let me in on some
of them big feeds they has at the
College? Amt we got parcel post
Tom, by which you kin send me a
sampler"
Well l guess have been neglectin'
Josephine, but I decided to turn over
a new leaf, and so I got Maynard to
fix me up nice mess of sunflower
silage, barley, cotton cake, beet mo-
lassses and dry pulp and Pm sendin'
the box today by parcel post with a
note as follers:
Dear Josephine: I got some of
the feed we're goin' to have on Feed
ers' day and hope you'll like it. Don't
furgit to foller directions on the
package"
Them directions sez: 'The best
way to feed this mixture is to cut up
some alfalfa and straw, mix it with
this stuff and sprinkle beet molasses
over it. Use plenty of roughage; it
cuts the cose of feed and makes more
economical gains"

A tunnel some six hundred feet and
an incline shaft comprise the work
ings. The present strike was made
in the shaft.
The vein can be cut a great depth
in the tunnel in few hundred feet
and the owners may later de ide to
drive the tunnel to cut the vein at
depth, First, however, the ore chute
will be proven in the shaft and if it
continues to hold good and in place
the owners will develop it and plan

MEMORIAL EXERCISES
HELD IN GUNNISON


impressive ceremonies at the Gem
etery marked the observation of Me-
mortal Day in Gunnison. The cere-
monies proper were preceded by a
parade which formed at the court
house square whence it marched down
Main street to Tomichi avenue, where
automobiles conveyed the marchers
to the cemetery.
The parade was headed by the Col
lege band. followed by the Women's
Relief Corps, after which came the
q. A. r. veterans in autos, these in
turn being followed by Spanish war
veterans, boy scouts and others.
Z. +. Adams, an old Gunnison bow,
now of Montrose, was master of cere-
monies. Mr.. Adams made an inter
esting talk, in which he recalled with
feeling old associations and friends,
threatening at the end of his talk to
return some time in the future and
again make his home with us. Some
there were in the audience who
seemed somewhat dubious at this. re-
calling possibly the days when Char
ley made newspaper life hum in
Gunnison.
The ceremonies at the cemetery
began with an invocation by Father
Cotter, after which E. G. Palmer
read General Logan's First Memorial
Day General Order, No. IL.
The ritualistic services by the
president and officers of the w. R.. C.
next followed, and were most impress
sive; indeed, the most impressive of
all. They consisted of responsive
reading, and at the end the Corps
marched around the monument. each
member dropping her tribute of ev-
ergreen as she passed the front.
The audience then sang Nearer.
My God, to Thee" and wreaths were
laid by patriotic organizations. in
Guiding the Spanish War veterans
and Red Cross society. "Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address" was then read
by Henry F. Lake, with much ex-
preston and sympathy.
The chief feature was the address
of Bishop Irving P. johnson. Mr..
Johnson made the keynote of his talk
the ideals of humanity for which the
soldiers died, pointing out that these
ideals should not be made the sub
ject of our reverence once a year
only, but that we should think more
often of them during the other 365
days. The bishop decried the COM
mercialism which permeates the
present day political questions, ma
tion and state, citing the splendid
self-sacrificing principles of Lincoln
in contrast.
america was then sung by the au-
dience, and THE benediction pro-
nounced by Rev. VIM. I. Jones, after
which "taps" was sounded and the
exercises were over.
A Spanish War veteran was heard
to hope that Mr.. Adams would not
be on duty at the Golden Gates when
some of his comrades knock for ad-
mission. The veteran said that he
was inclined to doubt that there had
been a Spanish War
