KANSAS RAT AMBITIOUS.


That Is a Mania.
The Kansas wood rat is small, no
larger than 4 common rat but his amb
ton and acqulsitiycness are Unsuitable.
His one insane desire seems to be to in
crease the size of his pile of sticks. The
neigboring field is placed under tribute.
First OF all the nearby sticks are gath
cred in the pile. Then, as these are
cleaned up, he gets farther and farther
away from home for more sticks. And
in this huge pile of sticks he stores his
winter supply of nuts. Many times,
when we were enjoying farm life by
living mostly on sorghum and cornbread,
huttermik and Missouri dried apples.
have we gone to the woods with the
other boys and taken nicely hulled wal
nuts from the nests of wood rat.
