SQUIRRELS IN WINTER,

Gray squirrels do not hibernate, but
seldom leave their nests during the
very cold weather. On mild days in
winter, however, they come out and
race through the tree-tops and visit the
large stores of nuts which they
gathered and hid away in the autumn.
Red squirrels are smaller, but much
harder, creatures than the gray ones,
and although they, too, have snug
nests of cedar-bark in the hollow trees,
they use them only at night, for no
weather is so severe as to keep these
little fellows indoors. They are about
the most provident of all the creatures
in the woods, usually storing away IN
der brush-heaps, leneath fallen logs
and in hollow trunks far more nuts
than they can possibly eat in one win
ter. They do not put them all in
one place, as a rule; they generally
have sevral boards at some little dis
lance apart. This is a wise precau-
ton, as it sometimes happens that
one store is discovered and stolen by
an enemy, and unless there was an
other supply to fall back upon the
squirrels might die Of starvation
