WHAT A SQUIRREL CAN Do.-The
following over true tale is told of the
squirrel by the Stockton Independent

squirrels which abound in the neigh
borhood of French Camp and prey
upon the wheat fields, from which
they are gathering their winters sup

army of the pests constantly on the
woye transporting the wheat from She
fields to their denS. One Of the most

curiosity to count the grains and
found thew nun h"1c q. i 90: co. and weighed
a few graius over one ounce. 1t is
calculated that an able-bodied SOUR

and not waste time in discussing poll
tical questions, will steal and trans
port to his underground warehouse a
pound of wheat per day. With his
relatives lie would get away with a

doing in the country, for they are all

BATTLE OF THE Hoes AND TIE CRICK-
Ers.-John Mullinix, Of Paradise Val
ley, who took an active part in resist
ING the crickets at the time they in-
vaded the valley, while back, gives
the following interesting account Of
the manner il which the farmers in
the upper part of the valley met the
enemy: When the advance guard Of
the crickels made their appearance all
the hogs within convenient distance
pressed into service and driven to the
front. Some four hundred hogs were
thus marshaIed IN battle array, and
right brayely did they meet the ene-
my. For an hour the pigs fought
nobIy, the long nosed, gaunt breed de-
vouriug crickets at the rate of twenty
or more a minute. They then with
drew to water, and after wallowing a
short time renewed the combat vol
unfairly. In 4 few days not a Festige
of The invading army was to be seen,
and the condition of the hogs i'm
proved materially. Mr.. Mullinix
thinks that the hogs destroyed, on an
average, a thousand crickets a day
each, and if within easy distance of
water, a few hundred Of them are
capable of getting away with any
number of criekets as fast as they ad-
vance, and protecting the valley from
the pests Virginia Enterprise.
