Squirrels as Neighbors


 We have bought and removed our household goods to a farm not too remote from town to make us feel out of the world. Our woods and meadows are peo- ped with wild things that interest us extremely. Among these are sundry va- rieties of squirrels. First, the large gray squirrels who are more digni1ed, and shy than the others. I am told that they are reckoned as game in some regions and rank high in that line Is this true? And are they harmless to fruit and veg etables? There are so many that we do not wish to encourage depredations in barn and corncribs. Next, the red suuir- rels arc lively. half tame and abundant I cannot look from the window without seeing one frisking up and down tree They are pretty, saucy little fellows. A neiehbor warns me that they are mis- chievous. Is this true? Chipmunks (ground squirrels), race along the fences and haunt the barnyard. They are cun- ming, as we say of lively children. Are they undesirable pets and neighbors? follows us to our new abode. and have the habit of consulting 1t. MRS. R. U. S."

First the largo gray squirrei ls nlghly esteemed as game. He is delicious "barbecued' for a win ter breakfast and the best central in- gredient for a Brunswick stew yet dis covered. He commits no depredations that I have ever heard of. Hence, you have one excuse the less for killing him. I wish I could say as much for the red squirrel. He is unfit for food, let me re- mark in passing. He Is the Arab of his Eenius-robbing birds nests and sucking the eggs: stealing nuts by the peck and gnawing his way into attics and corncribs when he would locate his winter quarters Chipmunks have our affectionate commen- datjou

Wiser Than Her Critics

neighbor who has the reputation ee being an ultra particular housekeepee goes over her table linen carefully on saturday night and chalks every grease spot. l have heard her laughed at for coing 1t. People say she doesn't want the iaundress to know that her cloths ever get grease spots on them. think there must be some reason for the practice She is fussy but no fool. Is there any explanation of the habit?
 MRS. T. H. NJ She is wiser than her critics The chalk, being an slkali. acts directly upon the grease, and by the time the linen is washed on Monday has actually wrought 1t into what may be called a 'saponace- ous compound" In other words, it is mere akin to soap than to oil. and helps to clease the cloth. The principle is the same as the action of lye upon fats in the first stage of soap making
