Watkins In Some Areas ihe Badger Is Scarce; and it's No Wonder Up until the badger became relatively scarce, a Sunday sport, practiced by a group of men and dogs, was the digging out of these animal's burrows. The reward of the effort and the idea behind the so-called "sport" was the pitched bat tle between the badger and the dogs after the animal was uncovered. The badger didn't have a chance. If it licked the dogs the brave men hit it over the head with a shovel.- A hundred or more years ago in Europe badgers were captured alive and later matched with dogs in an en closed ring for the entertain ment of those who were cal lous enougn to watch. From these contests probably came the expression "to badger" or to harass. This cruel "sport" was outlawed, but not quite in time for the European bad ger is now rare in England and other parts of Europe. Rare Also rare, east of the Missis sippi river in America where it was once plentiful, is the American badger. The badger actually is flat-footed. The ani mal is built so low to t h e ground it looks as if it had no legs at all from a short distance away, appearing as though the body was sliding along on invisible rollers. The legs are very short, but pow erful, capable of digging con siderably faster than a robust man with a shovel. The badger has a broad, flat head, with a sharp, pointed muzzle. A broad, white strip runs from the nose back to the forehead. A black strip on either side of the head starts at the sid- of the nose and runs back just below the eyes. The body hair is very coarse and stiff, colored white and black. The lower part of the animal is all black. A badger viewed in bright sunlight appears red dish. There are some red hairs mixed in with the black and white. A Flesh Eater The badger i3 allied with the weasel and the skunk. Un like the woodchuck, the bad ger is a flesh eater like the weasel. They feed on mice, rabbits, bird's eggs, and even snakes. They hunt mostly at Fly Tying Class Set at Medford Y A special fly tying class will begin at the Young Men's Christian association Friday, April 10, at 7:30 pjn.

The class will be limited to YMCA mem bers. There will be a service charge for materials used dur ing the lessons. night. During cold weather they are sluggish and dor mant, i There are many reasons why the badger has become relatively scarce. Many excus es were found to justify the killing of these animals. Un der the name "varmint" they have become the target of ev ery trigger-happy gunner. In an effort to sell more firearms or ammunition, and thereby make someone a prof it, the badger has been pic tured a s a nuisance. Along with the woodchuck they have had a difficult time surviving. Not tnany years, hence the American badger will only be another American legend.
