Show Squatty Michigan Badger Make Living by Digging Before badgers go to sleep for long winter, they are very, very fat, and the cont of fur sleek and iraluable. In the spring they begin eheddlng. and the coat loses Its fceauty for a while. While not numerous anywhere, badgers are found all over Michigan, Michi-gan, and it surprises most people to learn that they live In the forest as well as on the plains, but always al-ways dig burrows, observes a writer In the Detroit Free Press. These burrows are a nuisance on ranches where horses are tripped by them, sometimes even break a leg and give the rider a bad fall In Michigan, however, the animals are chiefly beneficial, due to the destruction de-struction of rodents. The badger Is exceptionally well equipped for digging. Ills short powerful legs are armed with itrong curved claws which enable bim to runnel through the hardest aoIL The speed with which hs Kicks from sight In ordinary soli bave led to many exaggerated stories, but it Is quite true that be can excavate a burrow with marvelous mar-velous rapidity. The burrows the badger digs are really essential to his survival, for It Is by digging that he earns bis dally food. Ground squirrels, wood-chucks wood-chucks and other underground animals ani-mals are dug out of their dens and devoured. Sometimes a badger gets Into a bablt of raiding a poultry roost, but most Individuals are shy and keep well away from the haunts of man. When attacked, the badger Is a fierce fighter, which has led to the somewhat erroneous Idea that his disposition Is naturally ugly. The University of Michigan Museum Mu-seum of Zoology has badgers kept as pets. These are often permitted to walk about freely, and are so docile do-cile that they permit even strangers to stroke their flat backs. Oldest School Building Is in St. Augustine, Fla.
