An Industrious Squirrel.

A Danbury farmer last fall stored
several bushels of butternuts in the
second story if his courthouse, and
recently he noticed that they were
disappearing much faster than the
legitimate demand for his family sup
ply warranted. He discovered soon
afterward that a small red squirrel
had found a hole under the caves of
the building, and was stocking her
storehouse with the nuts the farmer
had gathered. AS an experiment to
learn how rapidly the squirrel had
worked, he removed all but twenty
nuts, and set watch upon them.
Six hours later every nut was gone.
The distance from the courthouse to
the tree where the squirrel had its
nest was just eighty rods. In going
for nut, and returning with it, the
sprightly little animal had to travel
distance of one hundred and sixty
rods. Computation showed that the
theft of twenty nuts required just ten
miles of travel. But this did not in
clude all. Several times dogs fright
the squirrel, and it had to turn back
and twice the family cat got after it,
requiring it to take a circuitous route
to reach the storehouse. The nest
was examined soon afterward, and
big, fat, lazy male squirrel was
found snoozing quietly, while his lit
tie mate was performing prodigious
feat to supply him with food.-EG-

A GOOD POTATO CROP.-J. John
son tells IN the Greenfield Gazette of
a remarkably good potato crop grown
by M. B. Phillips in the north part of
Greenfield, Mass, on a measured
acre according to the provisions of
the american AgTiculturist' premium
offer. The land is a coarse gravelly
loan, with pebbles of slate rock. 1t
was in pasture and practically worth
less until plowed last year and dress
ed with 200 pounds of commercial
fertilizer. This year it was given
400 pounds of Stockbridge potato
manure and planted with Early Rose
and Hampden Beauty potatoes. From
this acre there were harvested 1917
bushels of understandable potatoes, of
60 pounds to the bushel, and 30H
bushels of small ones, making the to-
tai crop of the acre full 22S bushels.
A bushel of the large ones counted
335 potatoes, and a bushel of the
small ones 1875. A few rotted or
defective ones were thrown ont with
out being weighed or measured, but
judged to be not over two bushels in
the whole acre.

Indigestion

is not only a distressing complaint, of
itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers SarsaparilIa
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about. All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all. Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief. Nothing that / took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla I could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength inn
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, 1 found myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life"
