Owl Catching On Cripple Deer,

Master Fred Floyd, son of J. F.
Floyd, prominent farmer of the
Sd district, has evolved a good
plan for catching owls which were
quite numerous in the bottom
field. He had noticed signs where
the owls had been feasting on
crawfsh in a pond and drove a
post in the ground, placing a steel
trap on top. He has already
caught two and expects to get
others. The post being the only
suitable place for the birds to
alight, they do SO without noticing
the trap until too late.

the strong medicines usually pre-

One Of the Mos, Interesting It Ant
Phsnomsna on Record.


Near the bank Of the Guadalupe
river | saw something green upon
the ground and. hurrying forward,
found a lovely vine with leaves
smaller than those of the smila1,
Of a pale, tender green. The vine
had its root about five feet from the
trunk of a towering cottonwood
tree and spread out on the ground
four or FIVE inches wide, becoming
little narrower as 1t approached
the tree. / could see no stems or
tendrils, so thick was the growth,
and as drew close TO the tree / saw
that the vine branched just above
the ground and went climbing up
the great trunk and the branches.
1t grew more and more slender I'M
til far up | could distinguish only
threadlike line Of green.
As / stood intently watching the
delicate, graceful vine, ! became
aware that it was pervaded by a
curious. tremulous motion. Then
saw that the individual leaves
were not stationary. Picking W a
twig from the ground, i touched
one of the leaves and found TO my
amazement that there was brown
ant under it about as long as my
little finger nail. Each leaf was
held in the mandibles of an ant IN
such a way as TO conceal the body OF
the insect, and the ants were coming
down the tree. The discovery came
upon me with a shock. ! had stun

Books had told me that such ant:
were found in the tropics, where
they carried bits Of leaves over theii
heads as if TO protect themselve:
from the sun. But mere, on the
banks of Texas river, ! had found
colony OF them, shading them
selves where there was no sun an'
completely hidden by their covering
of green.
Charmed at the sight, turne'
back to call nv companions, VIII
were fishing in the river. Within
few yards met my husband COMING
TO look for me. He was even NOR
excited over the phenomenon than
was and shouted for the others I

found that the spot where the vim
seemed TO have Its root was reall
the opening of the ant nest. Tn

of the cottonwood had put out the
