HEDGEH0GS AS CLEANERS

Backwoodsmen, when in camp dur

guests-hedgehogs among them. One
woodsman. on leaving camp on a Sat

posely to close the door OF his shack
in order that the hedgehogs might en-

Inasmuch as the principal constitu-
ents Of the camp menu are pork and
beans, bacon and other dishes rich In

the floor in the course OF a week. and

time for a bit of fat
Just as soon, therefore, as this par
ticular camp was deserted by its oc-
eupants the spiny gluttons would
hasten in and begin to plane OF the
surface Of the floor with their chisel.
shaped teeth, eating away all the
wood that held a trace of grease. On
his return to camp the owner could
sweep up and enjoy the comforts OF

The only serious objection TO this
method of house cleaning lay in TIE
fact that 1t was necessary to lay new
camp floor rather frequently.
