BEAVER FARM NO OILERS HOME
Furry COlonists Drive OF Those whs
VIII Not Work.

Furry COlonists Drive on Those Who
VIII Not Work.
On the farm of the Rev. w. Z. Chris
lists one Of the few beaver farms Of
Canada, says New York Post writer
at Oxbow. Sask. Within the limits Of
the farm are five large dams, peopled
by some 200 beavers. The banks Of
the Souris river, which runs through
the farm, are fringed with poplar trees,
supplying the beaver with the best Of
building mateial and also with his
daily bread. According to a law pass
ed In 1896, 1t is Illegal to kill beavers
until the fall of 1908, consequently this
colony is waxing strong and multi
plying very rapidly. Having been pro-
tected from the trappers for the past
ten years, they are becoming very tame
and do not seem to mind a casual on
locker, although they do most Of their
work by moonlight. One night these
beavers cut down fifty-two trees, &C
cording to the Rev. Mr.. Christmas, who
takes great deal of interest In his
little tenants and watches carefully to
see no harm comes to them.
These beavers are very industrious,
and have no use for one Of their num-
Der who refuses to do his share of the
work. When such member Of the
flock Is noticed the others drive him
away to live In solitude, and when such
beaver Is found by a trapper they
are known as bachelors. 1t takes the
beavers but short time to fell large
sized tree, and they are able to throw
1t In any direction desired. Whom once
felled the tree is quickly cut I'D into
lengths for houses, dams, or food, as
may be required. The house of the
beaver Is built on the bank of the
river, with Its entrance under water.
Once having built the entrance the
rest of the house Is started, the whole
colony working at the house until II
Is finished, and when completed 1t Is
warm, dry and cozy. Although 1t Is
impossible for beavers to live for long
under water, the entrance Is built for
some distance under the water, and
then there Is a long tunnel connecting
the house with the water.
A beaver family usually consists Of
four or five, and comes into the world
with Its eyes wide open. The young
ones live with their parents for two
years and then they are made to shift
for themselves. The full-grown beaver
measures about two feet in length,
with tall some ten inches long, which
he can use as spade or a trowel as
well as paddle. The average age is
10 years, although some have been
known to be as old as 20, but such
cases are said to be rare. When the
animal is 9 years Of age Its pelt is at
Its prime, and will fetch from SO
to $12 In Minneapolis.

In the way the artist suggested, and be-
came SO sulky and naughty that It was
impossible to do anything with her.
At length her mother put her In the
corner as a punishment There she
turned with such sturdy, defiant look
that she impressed Landseer, who
sketched the recalcitrant little one as
she stood.
