The Fox n Speedy Animal

Walter II. Maynard, Proprietor OF
Tho FRS, RoctN God, is authority for
he statement that the red fox, so
prevalent in Maine, runs about ten
miles an hour. This it seems is not
his leisurely gait but the speed he is
capable Of sustaining when chased by
bounds or otherwise in hurry. Mr..
Maynard's estimate is made up from
abundant knowledge gained in con
sersation with hunters and trappers
Of the MOoSehead Lake region.
II tho fox only knew enough to take
| bee line in any direction he would
always get away. 1t is said that a
log will abandon any trail that leads
lirectly from home before he follows
it twenty miles. II would thus APP
pear that Mr.. Fox would be safe after
1 couple of hours if he was only will
ms to strike out Tor somewhere and
stick to it. For some reason, prob
ably because he likes to keep in the
vicinity of his den or usual hunting
ground. a fox always circles. Some
times he will round around hill until
shot or until he tires the dogs out
They cannot be driven into their dens
under such circumstances until thor
Oughly exhausted.

MIR. Hughey has seen all kinds of

More About Beavers

1t is only after reading two previ-
GUS articles concerning beavers which
have appeared in the Reporter that
write the following
| note the statement of Mr.. Patten
that he does not know how beavers
carry mud for their dams. 1t is ac-
complished in this manner The mud
1 or earth is scraped up from the bot
/ tom and is held by the animal against
the under part of the body by means
of the broad. fiat tail, that is. it is
literally carried on the tail, not as
many believe in the mouth of the
animal
The beaver Is most sagacious and
interesting little fellow and often
shows almost human intelligence and
cunning.
While they usually live in lodges
they often live in holes in the banks
Of streams or ponds. the hole having
an entrance well under water so that
it will not be obstructed by ice in
the winter.
The beaver feeds almost entirely
upon the bark of the poplar. or more
properly speaking, the asper. but Will
often cat alder or willow bark and
in the western states feeds ON cotton
wood. 1t has been known, in times
of severe famine when nothing else
could be obtained, to eat the bark of
pine or hemlock but the pitch of'theso
is evidently distasteful to the animal.
Beaver cuttings usually average
from three to eight inches i'll diane
Tor h,f OFt from ton 10
eighteen inches are found. 1t was re
Gently stated that the largest one
found in Maine was 26 inches III
diameter. However, | believe that the
largest beaver cutting ever authelil-
caly reported was one found by Emo"
A. Mills, a Rocky Mountain guido ana
naturalist This cutting was cotton
wood and was AZ inches across
Aspen limbs. the bark of which rs
the beavers fayorite food, are cut by
them into convenient lengths ana
sunk in the beaver pond for use our
ing the winter. Many, and often IAN
ciful, have been the conjectures as
to their method of sinking this wool.
A green piece of aspen If LETT snort
time in water quickly waterlogs ana
sinks of its own accord. The green
wood is towed by the beaver to Just
over where he wants it sunk ana soon
becoming water soaked it goes TO inc
| bottom. Mud Is. however, often plac-
ed on these piles of food to hold them
securely In place under water.
The teeth of the beaver are very
sharp and although he seldom cuts
anything but soft wood have seen
small naples of two or three inches
IN diameter cut by them. These were,
however. evidently used in dam build
ing and not for food.
