Maine Farmer Found Animals in . Dead
Tree Trunk.

BANGOR, Me. (SpeciaD.-Farmer George
Brown, Of Chesterville, went into the
woods the other day to get dry fuel, aud
he got q better load thar he expected. He
saw q giant pine stub, or dead trunk, on
the edge of an icy marsh, cut It down, aud
began to chop It into lengths. Soon he
felt his axe strike something soft as 1t
broke through the shell OF the stub. Think
Ing that there might be a bear inside,
Brown proceeded cautiously, using wooden
wedges to split the stub apart.
Vixen the hollow, dry log fell In halves,
there in the cavity lay eight fat coons.
snug!y housed away for the winter. Fur
thor up In the trunk were two more coons,
while In the trunk was a ffty-pounder-the
biggest and latest of the lot. Brown thus
got, besides a cord Of dry wood. oyer 200
pounds Of coon meat and eleven coon skins.
and ever since that day he has quite all
other work and goes about In the woods,
looking for more hollow stubs with coons
In them.
The best time to find these snug harbors
for coons Ia just after a snowstorm, when
the warm breath Of the coons melts bare
spots In the snow on the tree trunks, thus
betraying their presence.
