THE BEAVER.
Some OF the Strange Things Said Of the
Cunning Animal.

An old hunter writing TO the Chicago
Times on the habits of the beaver. says:
There Is no doubt of the sagacity
and Intelligence of the beaver. and the
attempt of the writer Of the article TO
catch the beaver by setting n trap in
the dam after cutting IL away will
amuse every old trapper that reads 1t.
The beaver will invariably use the trap
TO repair his broken dam. and win
very seldom be caught in that way.
Many trappcrs have also had the expe-
rience OF having their traps tiled with
mud and sticks when they have at
tempted to trap him on log by re-
moving the pile of mud placed there
before and setting trap in It's place.
The beaver Is too sharp for that, but Is
easily caughl when the trapper has
learned how.
1t Is an impression with many that
the beaver uses his broad. fiat tail as
trowel and to carry mud. etc. to build
their dams, but such Is not the case.
They use their short fore legs and
paws TO carry up mud and grass from
the bottom of the lakes they inhabit.
and make piles of mud and grass. such
as settles to the bottom on the logs
that lay out from the shores. The
writer was never able TO learn the
object of this. but prcsumcs they found
some article OF food in il.
Their food consists, mostly. of the
bark of the willow and cottonwood.
which they cut down and cut into
sticks about four feet long. aud. by
some process known only TO the beaver
Himself. they will sink TO the bottom OF
the lake or bayou. and there they re-
main until needed for use. They also
will cut down the white ash. The
writer of this measured n white ash
that was nearly cut down that meas
ured twenty inches in diameter.
What their object was in this Is In
definite, rs IL WAS not near any dam
aud could not be used for any purpose
except for food The beaver makes an
interesting pet. They are easily tanned.
are entirely harmless. aud have a very
decided propensity TO build dams. III
they can get the material they will
dam mt the least provocaton. or rather
opportunity. There is no danger Of
their being worried by dogs. as one
old beaver. however peaceable, would
make a bulldog pale with envy at the
way he can use those cutting teeth
when the occasion requires.

About Sheep and Wool.

| HOouI SlISSP S&aA>A ~
The following items in relation t.
sheep and wool we clip from thu
Western Rural:
More mutton means more wool
Breeding mutton sheep does not an
tagonize wool growing, though there
il an occasional fine wool grower who
| thinks it does.
Like produces like. Find u pure
bred ram that suits you and you ear
depend upon ultimately getting Il
flock of sheep that will be substanti-
ally reproduction of himself.
The time will come III this country
when the first thing farmer who is
stocking farm Will do, is to get a
flock of sheep, large or small, as the
conditions may warrant.
In England they keep sheep and
make the business profitable on land
worth four hundred dollars per acre.
But some of our people say you cam
not make sheep pay on land that is
worth fifty or even fifteen dollars an
acre.
The sheep is a source Of double in
come. 1t is the only animal on the
farm that is distinctly Of that char
acter, though the men who believe in
IL general purpose COW, we suppose,
will kick at the statement. AT all
events no other animal produces two
"crops" at the same time.
:
Sheep will make more pounds Of
meat upon certain amount OF food
than cattle will. Try it and see if it
is not true. J. B. Lawes demon
strated that sheep stored up in addi-
tional weight twelve per cent. of the
dry food consumed, while cattle
stored up only eight per cent.
"Sheep husbandry is destined to
assume very great importance In this
Since u writer penned
that statement the. sheep industry
has been going steadily down, and at
times it looked rs if it would become
q thing Of the past. But the state
ment is correct Notwithstanding. If
the United States ever permitted it,
self to become dependent upon for
eign wool growing 1t would show it
self utterly incapable of properly di-
recting its affairs.

is unsalable-it is being crowded out
by carpet woods to rapid degree;
if the duty were entirely |
