needed for sheep and other animals,
and hunters are employed to shoot
them. In some of the western states
they have also become a nuisance,
and in Nevada a law was passed in
1897 permitting wild horses to be
shot. Recent reports from Washing
ton indicate that cayuses are consid-
cred of so little value that they are
killed and used for bait in pois oning
wolves and coyotes.
Pigs have run wild in some of the
islands, where, as on the Galapagos,
they were originally introduced to
furnish food for crews of vessels in
need of fresh meat. According to DR..
Finsch, they were introduced into
New Zealand by Capt. Cook about
ITO, and, soon becoming wild, in
creased to remarkable degree. A
century later wild pigs were so album
dant in the fax thickets of the prov
ince of Taranaki, on the North island,
that a hunter could shoot so in a
single day. DIR. Finsch also cites a
case mentioned by Hochstetter in
which $4,000 wild pigs were said to
have been killed by three hunters in
less than two years.
Sheep and goats when numerous
arc likely to cause widespread injury,
particularly in forested regions. An
instructive example of the damage
done by goats is that on St. Helena,
described by Wallace. ST. Helena is
a mountainous island scarcely so
square miles in extent, and it's high
est SUBMITS reach an elevation of
2,7OO feet. At the time of its discov-
ery, about the beginning of the six
teenth century, it is said to have been
covered by dense forest; to-day it
is described as comparatively bar
rem rocky desert. This change has
been largely brought about by goats
first introduced by the Portuguese
in 1913, and which multiplied so fast
that in rs years they existed by thou
sands. Browsing on the young trees
and shrubs, they rapidly brought
about the destruction of the vegeta-
ton which protected the steep slopes.
With the disappearance of the under
growth began the washing of the soil
by tropical rains and the destruction
of the forests. In 1909 the governor
reported that the timber was rapidly
disappearing and that the goats
should be destroyed if the forests
were to be preserved. This advice
was not needed, and only century
later, in 1910, another governor re-
ported the total destruction of the
forests by the goats, and in conse-
quence an expense of $4,000 in one
year for the importation of fuel for
government use.

A Mixed Brood.

Rev. c. F. Dykeman, of Aston, re-
ports curious incident in bird life
that has come under his observation.
A common barnyard fowl made her nest
in some high weeds adjoining public
highway not far from Ashton. A quail
passing that way found the nest and
added to the collection of eggs. When
the mother hen returned and began
sitting she did not notice the difference
in eggs and Matched out mixed brood,
in which quails predominated. She does
not appear to notice the difference, how
ever, and the feathered family is get
ting along very nicely.

Thor Tonclevald and wife, of Hanslza,
claim to have been robbed of sum OF
money while hypnotized. A stranger
representing himself to be doctor
stopped at their house and rlade in
quiries about the health of Mrs. Ton
clevald.
He declared that he could cure her OF
trouble that she had long complained
of, and agreed to do so for 500, to be
paid him when the cure was effected.

to Mr.. Tonclevald that he go and get
his money, which he did, the amount
being S1O6.
The money was then returned to its
hiding place, and the stranger brought
the family out from under the int1u-
ence of the hypnotic spell and soon
left, saying he would be back in few
days. Later the money was found
missing, and attempts to find the doc
tor have thus far proved unavailing.

Kills the HOppers.

A deadly enemy to the grasshopper
has appeared in many sections where
the pest has worked considerable havoc
during the past few weeks, and the
hope is now expressed that all danger
of further ravages from hoppers is
about at an end.
The first hope in this direction was
aroused by reports coming from On
stad and Fairfax, in Polk county,
where it was stated that hoppers ap-
peared to have lost their aggressive
ness and were dying off in large guam
titles An examination showed that
small red insects, or parasites, were
clinging to the dead hoppers, and those
that were not dead were affected In
similar manner.

greatest percentage of this In home

be more natural than that Rookie
Teller and his piratical gang should
fitch from oil producers the sinews
of war which they are waging
against foreign copper interests.
The producers only method of pro-
lection Is to let the Standard OIL
company and Pure OIL company
interests produce their own oil If
they will insure at least small
margin profit. Thus far this month
the pipe line runs indicate a falling
off In production of more than 5000

senting Pennsylvania oil will show
that the production will be below
