Owls In Chicago.

Chicago has q novel trade in owls,
the supply coming to the commission
merchants from the farmers boys in
the nearby states.
The first owl which came to Chicago
in this manner was sent as venture by
farmer boy, who had somehow man
aged to entrapit alive. 1t proved so un-
expectedly successful in Kidding the
warehouse of rats and mice-having
been freed at night with the idea of
making an experiment in this direction
that it was purchased by the man in
whose care it was resting. The freedom
from rodents which it brought induced
other commission men to look out for
owls, and from the commission firms
the idea gradually spread to the grocers,
butchers and market keepers generally
of the city. Now large percentage Of
these men keep an owl down in the cell
lar during the daylight and bring it up
to the store when darkness falls. 1t is
said that the expense and care Of main
tanning owls are more than repaid by
their services in vanquishing the rats
and mice. The owners and janitors of
the large apartment houses in the city
are also beginning to realize the value
Of possessing an owl when rats, mice,
cockroaches, and vermin generally arc to
be erminated.-Chicago Times Her
