ter how many hired chemists assert to

are menace to the health of the public,
and the prosperity of the farm and the

Bankruptcy to a savage.

Ants Who Have slaves.

Did you ever hear of ants who make
slaves OF other ants? Well, there are
such creatures. They are called slave
making ants.
One day In the year 1904 famous
naturalist beheld a large body Of ants
marching rapidly over the ground in
an unbroken column. Their behavior
was most military and there was no
struggling, Presently they came to an
ant mound where another species Of
ants lived. Some of these ants were
on guard, and on seeing the enemy ap-
proach messengers were sent to the
interior OF the mound to call the rest
out. Ina minute a great battle was
on, which ended In a victory for the
attacking party. The conquered ones
retreated to the bottom OF their nest,
while the conquerors followed in after.
and presently each returned with a
baby ant in its mouth. These ants
were brought up as slaves, as was later
discovered by this same naturalist,
After while the masters became so
dependent on the slaves for everything
they could do nothing for themselves
except fight other ants. They lost
their teeth; they forgot how to build;
they neglected their young, leaving the
slave ants to care for them; they even
lost the power of feeding themselves,
and when, by way of experiment, few
OF them were placed by themselves
where there was lots of food, but no
slaves to give 1t to them, they died,
every one Of them, from hunger. One
time man took a few OF this species
and kept them by themselves for
couple OF days. and then, just as they
seemed about to die. he gave them one
slave ant. Working all alone. this fell
low built nice home. washed and
cared for the baby ants and fed the
older ones. who were about dead from
hunger. II you had to be an ant,
wouldn't you much rather be the slave
than the master?
