We are having what. the farmers call mice year. The mice are ab- undant all about the Kuskokwim re- zion and, probobly, this condition prevails over a much greater area. It is thirty years ago since I have seen the mice as plentiful as now, and in the following year they were gone.
 Three very distinct groups of mice occur in the Kuskokwim country and each can be recognized on sight by any observing person. i. One is the Hudsonian Jumping Mouse, sometimes called the Kangaroo mouse. It is not very common and appears to prefer the coarse buck brush at timber line, but in some instances is found along the streams. 1t appears to be noe turnal in it's habits, feeding on seeds and grass. Like the bear this group of mice hibernate in winter The Hudsonian Jumping Mouse can be five inches long, and the under parts which are white. The hind legs are large and it escapes from it's enemies by jumping.
 The second group, The Red Back Mice, are easily recognized by q reddish streak down the back. It is a timber mouse and prefers the woods. It will climb trees or into q cache, if it is handy, where it may make it's nest. It will readily eat cereals and bacon if it once gets into 8 cache.
 The third group are closely re- lated and are commonly known as the Meadow Mice. It is this group that is swarming over the country at present. The Meadow mouse is common to all of North America and to the Northern Hemisphere. These rodents occupy the greatest range of of the rodent family in the world. They are common on any farm in the country. We all have heard of plaques of mice and nine times out of ten, this group is the guilty party. They are supposed to be kept ia normal numbers by their natural enemies, such as birds of prey and carnivorous mammels like waasels, foxes, lynxes, etc. However, when they do become too numerous, a disease developes among them and thus they arc prevented from be- coming extremely numerous. The Meadow mouse is fond of low wet ground and often it lives in colonies They have roadways leading from one hole to another. They store food for the winter but they de a geat deal of damage to trees by des- troying the roots and bark. They have damaged some of the crops in this region as much as twenty five percent this season. There are not less than twelve species to this group in Alaska. They seem large to us because they are the largest mice We see. They are between six and seven inches in length whereas really big one measures from seven and a half to ten inches. The Meadow mouse is also related to the muskrat, being good swimmer and If pursued by enemies will dive and swim under water.
