The woodpecker's Treasures

A late writer of q work on California
grves some curious facts in relation to the
treasures hid by the woodpeckers in that
country. He says:
'ln stripping off the bark | observed it
perforated with holes larger than those
which musket bullet would make space
with most accurate precision, as if bored
under the guidance Of a rule and compass,
and many of them filled most neatly with
acoEns. Earlier in the season remarked
the holes in nearly all the softer timber, but,
imagining they were caused by wood in
sects, did not stop to examine or inquire;
but now, finding them studded with acorns
firmly fixed in, which l knew could not
have been driven there by the wind,
sought for an explanation, which was prac-
tically given me by Captain SIS pointing
out flock of woodpeckers busily and noise
lessly employed inthe provident task of Sc
curing their winters provisions. II appears
that that sagacieas bird is not all the time
thriftlessly engaged tapping the hollow
beachtree," for the idle purpose of empty
sound, bnt spends It's summer season in
picking those holes in which 1t lays its store
of food for the winter, where the elements
can neither afectit nor place it beyond their
reach, and it is considered sure omen that
the snowy period is approaching when these
birds commence slowing away their acorns,
which otherwise might be covered by its
faA.
/ frequently paused from my chopping
to watch them in my neighborhood, with
the acorns in their bills, half clawinp, half
flying round the trees, and to admire the
adroitness with which they tried i at differ
ent holes till they found one Of its exact
calibre, when, inserting the pointed end.
they tapped it home most artisttcallv With
their beaks and flew down for another
But their natural instinct is even more re-
markable in the choice of the nuts, which
you will invariably find sound, whereas it
lisa matter of impossibiGty, in selecting them
for roa,tin, to pick up batch that will not
have half of them unfit for use, the most
safe and polished-looking very frequently

experience,i lis unable to arrive at any thine
