It is n badger raised from Infancy In-fancy on Mr. Hansen's ranch at Ky-reno Ky-reno and Is as tamo as a kitten and more playful than either n cat or a do?. It has dug Itself a homo several foot under ground near tho onglno houso, but comes out frequently to play with tho boys. Mr. Hansen says the badger was tho most effcctlvo remedy ho had on tho ranch for tho extermination of mice, gophers and other pests of that sort, but It also has a weakness for spring chicken that made it nn expensive ex-pensive piece of property. His children chil-dren thought as much of it as any child over did of a dog, but after 150 spring chickens had disappeared ho thought It was tlmo for tho badger to be doported. Arizona Republic. |
