"sLY REWARDS" NOT ALL SLY
Much More Cunning Than
Those in WiIds.

In order to trap the fox Cor any
other animal) successfully, it is
necessary to know something of its
habits. I have found that there is
vast difference in the habits of
animals, belonging to the same fam
lily, in different localities, says q
writer in tile Sportsman's Digest.
Their environment affects them
much the same as it does human
beings.
Generally speaking, a fox that
lives on the borders of civilization
will be far more cunning than one
reared in the wilderness; the for
mer has many chances to "size up"
the different methods used by man
for his downfall, while the uniniti-
ated one is apt to fall for the first
halfway decent set made for him.
The fox will eat almost anything
for food, especially if urged by hun
ger, but if he is in country where
there is much trapping going on he
prefers, like the wolf, to kill his
own food.

Why A PIG is SUCH A PIG
Porker Has Small Stomach and Quick
Digestion; Hence His contlnu-
GUS Performance.

The pig, having SO small q
stomach, necessarily lives upon con-
centrated food taken in frequent
meals, while, having so extensive an
intestinal canal, its digestive func-
tions are very active, and large
quantity of food can be disposed Of.
This popularity of its physiology
has also an effect upon its habits,
and this in turn explains to large
extent its peculiar disposition.
When feeding at large, it is con-
tinually seeking food, which, pass
ing through its small stomach, is
rapidly digested, almost as it is
eaten, while when kept in confne-
mens it gorges itself to fulness, and
then sleeps while the food is being
digested, and, as the digestion is
rapid, the appetite is quickly excited
again, and the empty stomach calls
for more food.
Thus, with frequent eating and
active digestion and resting mean
while, the pig is able to take on
more flesh and make more fat than
any other animal during the usual
fattening process, and when in
growth it makes more proportionate
weight. But this popularity tends
greatly to disease, and thus the pig
is most frequently injured by over
feeding, and its intestines are most
subject to infammatory disorders.
1t consequently suffers more than
any other animal from intestinal
and pulmonary fevers.
