from rats and mice. The birds lay up
provisions at night for the next day.
The farmer marked the bodies Of the

marked mice would be gone and the
next morning there would be q fresh

SOMETHING remarkable happened near
Sidney, o., to q COW. There were two
large trees close together on the edge OF
a clover field. A fence touched either
tree, but the gap had no fence. The
COW squeezed into the gap, and without
passing through began to browse. She
soon began to swell with gas generated
by the green clover, and to get her out
nua of the trees had to be cut.
