PRAIRIE DOG MEAT
Tall Bull of the Tongue River
Reservation is Living
High
For the first time in his life Tall
Bull, Cheyenne Indian of the Tongue
River reservation, is getting enough
prairie dog meat to satisfy his ap
petite, at least so he told George
Maxwell in charge of the prairie dog
eradication campaign on the reserva
tion. Tall Bull and his fellow tribes
men follow, up the poisoning crews
and gather up the dead dogs for their
reserve meat supply.
To the moTe or less pampered
whites a diet of this kind probably
has few attractions but these first
Americans in southeastern Montana
appear to be a little less scrupulous
as to what they eat and how they eat
it Since the passing of the buffalo
they have been faced with an ever
diminishing meat supply in the wild
state and the prairie dog of late years
When the rodent exterminators
first arrived on the reservation last
May their operations were regarded
with apprehension by the Indians.
Immediate objection was voiced at
has furnished one of the chief sources
of this foed.
the wholesale slaughter of the ani
mals'which played such an important
part in their living. But once again
the march of progress swept aside
the feeble protests and the poisoning
campaign is being pushed to its com
pletion that the white man's beef cat
tle may grow and fatten without com
petition from redents. The Indians
are now regarding the work as a mat
ter of course and are taking advan
tage of the opportunity to secure their
last feasts of prairie dog meat.
Apparently the poisoned dog meat
has no harmful effects. It is thcr
oughly boiled before eating and so'
far no fatalities have resulted in spite
of the fact that the prairie dogs are
poisoned with strychnine treated
grain. Indian dogs following the
workers also eat the dead prairie
dogs. The raw meat apparently has
a more disagreeable effect than when
it is boiled because it is reported that
dogs get quite stiff after a meal of
this kind but recover in a day or two.

4-H CLUB WORK
IS PROFITABLE
Basta
• i
That 4-H garden club work leads
to good financial returns as well as
health and good citizenship is attested
to by the present season's work of
Alton Sharp of Rosebud. Last spring
this eastern Montana boy joined the
local club and signed up for garden
ing. By the end of July he had sold
$36 worth of produce from his little
plot and before the present season is
over considerably more will be added
to this sum. Alton's customers testi
that his
fy products are first class
quality, the best evidence of thjs be
ing that most of his products sold
now are repeat orders. Club work in
