REPUBLIC OF PRAIRIE DOGS.
BY "WASHINGTON IBVTXG.
During an excursion, I learned that a
burrow, or village, as it was termed, of
prairie dogs had been discovered upon
the level summit of a hill, about a mile
from the camp. Having heard much of
the habits and peculiarities of these lit
tle animals, I determined to pay a visit
to the community. The prairie dog is, in
fact, one of the curiosities of the Far
West, about which travellers delight to
tell marvelous tales, endowing him at
limes with something of the political and
social systems of civil government and
domestic economy, almost equal to what
they used to bestow upon the beaver.
The prairie dog is an animal of the
cony kind about the size of the rabit.
He is of a very sprightly, mercurial na
ture, quick, sensitive, and somewhat pet
ulent. Is very gregarious, living in large
communities, sometimes of several acres
in extent, where innumerable little heaps
of earth show the entrance to the subter
ranean cells of the inhabitants, and the
well beaten tracks, like lanes and streets,
show their mobility and restlessness.
According to the accounts given of them,
they would seem to be continually full of
sport, business and public affairs ; whisk
ing about hither and thither, as if on
gossiping business to each other's houses,
or congregating in the cool of the evening,
or after a shower, and gamboling togeth
er in the open air. Sometimes espe
cially when the moon shines they pass
half the night in revelry, barking or yelp
ing with short, quick, yet weak tones
like those of very young puppies. While
in the height of their playfulness, and
clamor, however, should there be the
least alarm, they all vanish into their
cells in an instant, and the village re
mains blank and silent. In case they are
hard pressed by their pursuers, without
any hope of escape, they will assume a
pugnacious air, and a most whimsical
look of impertinet wrath and defiance.
Such ars a few of the particulars I
could gather about the habits of this lit
tle inhabitant of the prairies, who, with
his pigmy republic appears to be a sub
ject of much curious speculation and bur
lesque remark, among the hunters of the
West.
It was towards evening that I set out
with a companion to the village in ques
tion. Unluckily, it had been invaded in
the course of the day by some of the
rangers, who had shot two or three of its
inhabitants, and thrown the whole sensi
tive community into contusion. As we
approached, we could perceive numbers
of the inhabitants seated at the entrance
of their cells, while sentinels seemed to
be posted on the outskirts to keep a look
oat. At the sight of us the picket guards
scampered in and gave the alarm, where
upon every inhabitant gave a sharp yelp
or bark, and ran in his hole, his heels
twinkling in the air, as if he had thrown
a summerset.
We traversed the whole village, or re
public, which covered an area of about
thirty acres, but not a whisker of the in
habitants was to be seen. We probed
their cells as far as the ramrods of our
rifles would reach, but in vain. Moving
quietly to a little distance, we laid down
upon the ground and watched for a long
time, silent and motionless. By and bv
a cautious old burgher would slowly put
forth the end of his nose, but instantly
draw it baek again. Another, at a great
er distance, would emerge entirely, but
catching a glance of us, would throw a
summerset, and plunge back again into
his hole. At length, some who resided
on the opposite side of the village, taking
courage from the continued stillness, would
steal forth and hurry off to a distant hole,
the residence, probably, of some family
connection or gossippiug friend, about
whose safety they were solicitous, or with
whom they wished to compare notes about
the late occurrences. Others still more
bold, assemble in little knots in the streets
and public places, as if to discuss the re
cent outrages offered to the common-
wealth, and the atrocious murderers of
their fellow burghers.
We rose from the ground, and moved
ed forward to take a nearer view of these
public proceedings, when yelp! yelp!
yelp! there was a shrill alarm passed
from mouth to mouth ; the meeting sud
denly dispersed ; feet in a twinkling ia
the air in every direction, and in aa in
stant all had vanished into the earth.
The dark of the evening put an end to
our observations, but the train of whim
sical comparisons produced in my brain,
by the moral attributes which I had heard
given to these little politic animals, still
continued afr my return to camp ; and
late ia the night, as I lay awake after all
the camp was asleep, and heard in the
stillness of the hour, a faint clamor ofyeUW 43 rich tLe gl&g
shrill voices from the village, I could not
help picturing to myself the inhabitants
gathered together in noisy assembly and
windy debate, to devise plans for the pub
lic safety, and to vindicate the invaded
rights and insulted dignity of the repub
lic CsT" Happiness can be made quite as
well of cheap materials as dear ones
INHABITANTS OF FLORIDA.
"Alligators, as may be inferred from
the number shot in one day at the pond
of that name, are very numerous ; every
mud hole, swamp, pond or river, is in
fested with them. The animal is too
well known to require a minute descrip
tion ; they vary from two and a half to
ten feet in length. One of medium size,
say five feet, has a mouth ten or twelve
inches wide, and sixteen or eighteen long,
shaped like a shovel ; its eye when an
gry is very terrible, and has the most
horrid expression of fury I ever witnessed
in any animal ; such aa one as no de
scription reminds me of, unless it be that
awful leer which beamed from the eye of
the Arch Enemy, at that moment of pe
culiar excitement which Milton deline
ates with such masterly power, when he
rallies his dispirited hosts under his infer
nal banner and marches them up in glit
tering array against the army of the liv
ing God.
The tail which is nearly equal in
length to the body, has a serrated ap
pearance, and when enraged he thrashes
it with great violence, a single blow be
ins sufficient to break both of a man's
legs at once ; they are amphibious, and
when on the ground move sluggishly on
four legs. The general appearance of
the animal is disgusting ; although they
are so abundant and possessed of great
power, I have never heard of but two in
dividuals being attacked by them, and
they have frequent opportunities if so
disposed. I have frequently been a
swimming when I knew many were
about. The extent of their mischief is
confined to now and then seizing a fa
vorite do?.
As for frogs and bull-paddockg, whew !
they are without beginning or end ! AH
sorts and kinds of soil produce them in
quantities which no man can number.
An intelligent traveler not long since es
timated them at forty bushels to the acre.
I never measured one, but think his esti
mate too low ! Of a summer's 3ay or
night, they make such a racket as almost
to craze one : this reminds me of a story
of Lieut. Chubb's about frogs." He
said, " Some years since an invalid came
to St. Augustine, and started for Talla
hassee on horse-back ; the man wasn't
one of the strongest of nerves, and he
had hardly got out of town before he
asked his guide, what made such a racket?
He told him "frogs." "Frogs!" says
the man, " then let us ride on, and get
out of this vicinity, for they will turn
my brain."
" 'Tis no use to ride, sir so all the
way," said the fellow.
" The man didn't dizactly believe that,
so on he rode ; by'me by, the guide said,
his eyes began to glare, and he stared
wildly round for a moment, and then
clapping spurs to a high spirited horse he
was on, galloped off at full speed, the
guide after him; but twa'nt no use, he
could'nt catch him; giving up the chase
he jogged along, and about four o'clock,
came up, and there was the horse, dead
in the road, and the man settin' on him j
pounding away with a great stick, spur-1
ring, and making all the motions of one
riding for his life. The noise of the tar
nal frogs had addled his brains, and he
carried him back to St. Augustine, a per
fect maniac"
There are two kinds of rattle-snakes,
the large, and small or ground rattle, the
bite of both-is venomous, and that of the
large will produce sudden death when it
strikes an artery an ordinary flesh
wound may be cured by immediate and
proper application. The usual mode is
to bandage the limb above the wound,
and apply a part of the snake's or a chick
en's body, to the place, which extracts
the poison ; sucking the wound is also
resorted to, and when it is to be had an
internal and external application of
hartshorn is made.
The bite produces the most excrucia
ting pain, a violent inflammation and
swelling immediately takes place, the flesh
around the bite rots, and unless relief is
speedily obtained the patient becomes a
swollen, blackened, and loathsome corpse.
The wound inflicted by the moccasin
is but little less poisonous ; both species
are natural paeirie and seldom strike ex
cept in the month of August, unless
trodden u pon or irritated. It is said that
during the intense heat of the above
named month, the action of the poison
on their systems is so great as to blind
them, and they glide through the hum
mocks, without knowing whither, forcing
...
their poisonous fangs into everything
which impedes their progress.
The large rattle snake when living is
one of the most brilliant reptiles I have
, ever seen ; its back is divided into dia-
j mond figures reflecting all the hues of
the rainbow, intermingled with a bright
nen nail coUed, bead erect in the atti
tude of attention, tail constantly in mo
tion, and raales buzzing, this snake is
certainly a terrible, beautiful object, and
one starts back from the view chilled and
appalled."
If we did but know how little some
enjoy the great things they possess, there
would not be so much envy in the world.

STUMP MACHINE LIQUID
MANURE.
Mr. Editor :-I once saw a descrip
tion of a stump machine that pulled the
stump by a screw, and cost only twenty
five dollars. Can you tell me anything
in regard to such a machine, (a.) ouia
you recommend farmers to adopt the
plan of using liquid manure as recommen
ded by T. C, in Farmer Feb. 23 ? As
this matter is quite new here, I wish more
light in regard to it. With what should
the tank be filled after the liquid is drawn
off, and how often should the liquid be
applied to the soil? Should the tank be
built entirely underground, or only level
with the ground so as to be easily open
ed? Can they be made water-tight in
the manner described by T. C. ? ,
S. G. Butler.
Essex, Vt., 1856.
Remarks. The farmer must be gov
erned in his operations by the same laws
which govern the manufacturer, the mer
chant, or commercial man ; by the cir
cumstances with which he is surrounded
and the capital which he can control.
If a proper investment in the farm, or
implements and stock, absorb all his cap
ital, we certainly should not advise him
to risk a large outlay in the fixtures and
conveniences for liquid manuring, unless
he possessed a remarkably enterprising
spirit, and means to give farming his en-
tire attention. We are far from believ-;
in" in Dr. Beecher's theorv, that the far
mer should never incur a debt.
But there is a way to begin the good
work, which is open to all.
In a convenient spot, near the buildings
make a cistern in the ground, four feet
wide, six feet long and eight feet deep, in
the clear ; stone, or brick it if preferred,
though on firm earth it will answer all
purposes cemented directly on the ground
itself. A good way is to begin by laying
a wall on the surface of the ground, eight
or twelve inches high on each side of the :
tank, leaving the precise dimensions de
sired. Let the stones have a face inside
and level the top to receive the plank '
which is to cover it. Cement the joints
of the wall, and then turf over the out-
side. Then excavate the inside, being
careful not to disturb the walk Into this I
cistern, conduct the sink water, and over
it set the privy ; in the other end set a
stout pump stock, and the cistern is corn-
plete. It would also be well to conduct ;
the water from the roofs of the houses
into it at will. The cistern would be
stronger if made round instead of square
or oblong. The pump should be made j
of inch boards, and about six inches '
square. Here, then, is a receptacle for
all sorts of cast-off stuff; nothing of a
perishable nature can hardly come amiss.
During a portion of the year liquid con
tents may be applied directly to the fields
by the aid of a cask mounted on wheels, i neter should be used. Even when ap
Then as an adjunct, there should always j Pe moderately, a little exposure may
be a hollow square of meadow muck
close by to receive the contents of the
cistern when it is too tick to be pumped
out, or when it is not convenient to dis-
tribute it on the fields, or in the winter.
If the odor should not be so much like
that from a bed of mignionette as you
would like, dissolve a few pounds of cop
peras in plenty of water and stir that in
with it, when you will be able to proceed
pleasantly. 2T. E. Farmer.

exercise, the more healthy and happy he
will be.

HORSES WITHOUT HAY, LICE
ON CATTLE.
Mr. Editor, Although not engaged
in farming, still I am a constant and well
entertained reader of your valuable pa
per, and feel highly interested in the sub
jects that fill its columns. In the num
ber for March 15, 1 noticed an article on
the use of corn stalks as fodder, and the
preference cattle have for those of the
sweet corn, mentioned by Gen. Chandler,
of Lexington, and which fact has been
observed by others. But what I wish to
say is, that one of my townsmen cuts
yearly about six acres of stalks, with
which he keeps five horses in good work
ing order, dealing it to them finely cut,
with the average quantity of cob meal.
With regard to keeping on hay and grain,
a friend of mine who has constant use for
his horses in teaming on the road, says he
keeps them in good condition with seven
quarts of meal and shorts with their hay,
dealing to each horse two quarts in the
morning, two at noon, and three at night,
with no more hay than will be eaten up
clean.
In the articl0nder the caption " What
ails my Cow?" the writer says "he uses
unguintum on the parts affected, spanng-
ly" It should be thus used, if it all, as
by the cow lapping it off, and perhaps.
too, by absorption, might sicken and die.
as we knew once to be the case, where
this mercurial preparation was rather too
lavishly used.
Some of our older farmers contend
that the lice go as regularly to the ani-
mal's nose to drink, as the cow does her-
self to the brook. Hence, they say, that
the best mode to get rid of them is, to
bore a gimlet-hole or two in the stanch
ions, and fill with the ointment, so that it
may be rubbed off upon the neck of the
animal, or by applying a circle of it
around the horns and neck. Other:
upon the same principle, apply oil about
the head and neck, and declare it to be
effectual, leaving the lice to perish on the
premises, or quit, just as they choose.
Whether the theory be correct, or other-
wise, I am not prepared to say. Will
you enlighten me ?

Remarks. The caution about uh
guintum on cattle is a timely one. It
' make the animal so susceptible to exter-
1 na influences, as to cause great mischief
; b7 iu 11 13 a preparation of mercury or
I quicksilver, a metal, and passes into the
circulation of the system, and, it is said,
into the bones themselves. The teeth
, sometimes become loose so that the ani
mal cannot eat, even if it had appetite.
Good feed, cleanliness every way, fre
quent carding, and the application of soft
oil, will prevent the access of vermin.
Lamp oil is too clogging. A little neat's
foot oil will cover a large surface if care
fully applied. The hand should be oiled,
then draw the hair of the animal through
' "d3 'rom thorns or grapes from thistle."
it is now a convenient time to trim
grape vines, trees and shrubs, beinrcare-
i lul not to trim too much. A .trimming
every season, of the shoots or suckers,
such limbs as are decaying, and others
that interlock or cross others, thereby
bruising them, is all they require.

tions on such matters. It is a good plan
