is, the practice of certain corporations

The Mole.

The mole is, one of the most sore
ly misjudged animals of which we
have any knowledge. He is strictly
cardivorous; would starve to death
if there was, nothing but grain or
other vegetable matter for him to
live on. He. is really a friend not a
foe. He is after the worms and
various kinds, of insects that prey
upon the farmers crops, and should
be regarded a benefactor.
Many of our friends even of the
human kind have dlsagreeable hab-
its and sometimes do us harm
when they are trying to do good.
The mole is no exception. He will
throw up ridges in the garden and
in the lawn. He can't help it; he
is built that way. He is simply
making paths in search of his food
and in doing sometimes throws up
a ridge that Lets too much air into
the land and prevents plants from
terminating, or dries them out. He
ridges up the lawn; but he is after
the gruhWorms and other insects
that have multiplied there or in the
meadow Of longstanding.
Don't set traps for the mole.
Cultivate him, and when you see a
ridge thrown up through the gar
den or lawn have the boys to 90
along, and tramp it down. Learn
to, discriminate between your
friends and your foes.-Wallaces'

The Snowy Owl.

"Who-o-o! who-o-o!" sounds thro-
ugh the twilight as the great white
owl sweeps over the snowy plains.
He is calling his lady love. From
far away to the east comes an ans
Wering "whoo-o-" SO faint that he.
can hardly catch the sound; yet he,
wheels aroundS and flies in that
direction His wide, noiseless wings.
carry him swiftly, and before long
he sees another snowy owl. He,
makes her a solemn bow, and then
they sing duet together. He gives
ten Short sharp boots. She boots
five times in higher voice, and
they end together with a wild
"who-o-o-ahl" How you would
laugh if you could watch them 90
through this performance! Indeed,
they seem to be amused by it them
selves, for they often give shrieks;
of owlish laughter as they fly off to,.
gether..
Little owlets are the first bird ba-
bies to come into the world in the,
spring, and cold world it is, as,
sure you. But their mothar'wrapL-
ped inaheT splendid mantle snuegles
down over them; while their father
goes hunting by the light Of the,
stars and the aurora borealis. Not
a sound does he utter, and his WINGS,
are silent as the night. Haras,
ptarmieans, Shell-fish, and later. in
the season field mice, small binds,
and. insects are brought to- the.
,nestGngS and their mother. 1t
takes deal of hustling, i. assure
you, to keep four OF five hungry
owlets supplied with food in that
barren land.
Among all the Birds. there are
none that benefit men. more than
the owls, because they destroy so
many small animals that mjure
the farmers crops In one, or another.
You will always know where an
owl lives, as well as though he had
his sign hung out, by the balls of
fur, bones, and feathers which re-
main after his breakfasts and sup
pers scattered about beneath his
doorway, Margaret W. Leighton,
