A Black Squirrels Sad Ending.

The intensity of animal affection has
been pathetically illustrated in this city,
writes Savannah, Ga, correspondent.
Three years ago Mr. Jacob Gardner, of
Bull street, sold lady large black
squirrel which had attracted considerable
attention while at the store on account of
its unusual size and the beauty of its
coat. The animal became the pet of its
purchaser, and was often given the free
dom of the house, and extended other
liberties not often enjoyed by it's kind
when in captivity. Occasionally the
chatterer left the premises, but never
failed to return when night approached.
It was the object of almost constant pet
ing and carressing and nearly always
slept snugly up in the arms of its mis-
tress. A few days ago the owner left
the city for few days, leaving the
squirrel at home. The little animal
soon missed her and ran from room to
room all over the house and grounds in
search of her, giving unmistakable signs
of grief. All efforts at consolation on
the part Of other inmates of the house
were unavailing, and the squirrel refus-
ed either to be comforted or to partake
of it's usual food, from time to time CIV
ing vent to little cries indicative of grief.
After nearly week had elapsed and
it became evident that the little sor-
rower's death was a matter of only few
days, the owner was notified and return
ed home. Her arrival was greeted with
evidence of wild joy by the SPUR
rel, which pranced about the house and
jumped into her arms with all the signs
of ecstatic happiness that its weakened
condition would permit. 1t made every
effort to partake of the tempting food
placed before it, but it was unable to
swallow and on the following day, with
its eyes turned most piteously into
those Of it's mistress, it gasped out it's
life while lying in her arms. Bonny's
heart had been broken too long to be
healed even by the glad balm found in
it's mistress return.

Clover growth is helped by lime and

clover absorbs nitrogen more than any

The same care in the selection for seed

A Country Gentleman correspondent
tried the experiment of hauling manure

how much of the value would be washed
