They Furnish Feast of Months fer Dogs.
Cats and Owls
During fine moist summer, when
grass and flowers were abundant, mice
increased to an abundant extent In La
Plata, so that everywhere In the fields
it was difficult to avoid treading on
them, while dozens could be shaken out
of every hollow thistle stalk lying on
the ground. The most incongruous ami

success. Storlxs and short-eared owls
gathered to the feast, so that fifty of
the latter birds could often be seen at
once. and they got fat and bred in the
middle of the winter, quite out OF their
proper season, in consequence.
The following winter was a time OF
drought, the grass and herbage had all
been consumed or was burnt up, and
the mice, having no shelter, soon fell n
prey to their numerous enemies and
were almost wholly exterrninated

q rock of large dimensions about fifteen

''I clambered down and succeeded in
