This is not hard to understand after we have been assured, as the zoologists of the department of agriculture assure us, that a gopher can make 200 complete strokes with his teeth in a minute. Its jaws are so arranged that 38 distinct single cuts are-maole-by forward stroke of the jaw and 88'by'the backward stroke.
