Many persons have tried to rid
valuable shade trees of the pest,
usually without success. Where the
mistletoe is on small branches cut

inches below the mistletoe will kill
that particular shoot, but the work
will be futile unless every branch
has been trimmed in this manner.
Where the trunk or the larger limbs
have become badly infected only
their destruction will kill the para

Snakes are not all bad, once peO-

Crickets are also dried and ground
into meal by Oregon and California
Indians, and ants are used to a large

are very fond of a spec es of marine

GOAT Is MOTHER TO FOXES,
Nanny as Attentive to Them as She

Alexander Sand, who lives near
Carlisle, Ind, tells a strange story
of a goat mothering two young
foxes. Sand captured the foxes
about a month ago and tied them
in an Enclosure near the barn. In
the same place was a nanny goat,
which had lost it's kids a few days
before.
The goat soon began to feed the
young foxes and take care of them
as if they were her kids, and the
foxes now follow the goat every
where she goes. When the goat
comes to the house for food she
hides the foxes in the grass.
