TT rs sad but true. Every now and
then we find some one Of whom
we have not the slightest sus-
i picion engaged in mischief of one
sort Of another. Take Striped Chip

Striped Chipmunk, or almost every
body does. He is bright, of happy
disposition, industrious, thrifty and
delightfully."- independent. OF all the
little people in the Green Forest,
Striped Chipmunk is one of the most
delightful. Somehow it is dificult to
think of him as being in any real mis-
chief. But, like the other members
Of his family, which is, you know. the
Squirrel family, he has liking for
meat. Yes, sir, Striped Chipmunk
has a liking for meat. and he seldom
misses a chance to get it. 1t is this
desire for fresh meat that sometimes
leads Striped Chipmunk into real mis-
chief.
Some Of the feather folk build their
nests on the ground. Some build in
low bushes near the ground. Some
build high up in trees or way out on
the slender twigs of trees. To the tree
builders Striped Chipmunk, as rule,
pays no attention. He can climb. but
he doesn't like to. That is to say. he
doesn't like to get very far off the
ground. So, in the nesting season Of
the feathered folk. he pays little at

A MOTHER garden pest you Will
~ have no doubt met Is this
~ slug, first cousin to the snail
\ and neighbor to the sowbugs.
In our fair country there are some
80 species of slugs. all of them partial
to tender plants that are just poking
their heads above the soil.
This stroller of your garden paths
lies low during the daytime, under
some friendly board, stone, or even
a crack In the soil, usually cleverly
selected In a spot you are least likely
to notice.
This slug is the one you are most
apt to see, as 1t seems to flourish
in our gardens. The pests are usually
112 inches long, though some reach
q greater length. These intruders are,
as q rule, yellowish to purplish black,
and are highly decorated with brown
spots of various sizes.
One thing to trail them by Is their
tell-tale silver path, that leads from
their sleeping quarters to their happy
feasting grounds. This Is unwise,
indeed, on the part of the slugs, but
they are helpless without their sticky
carpet. So you may follow the sign
Evening star., 1935-10-11

until it leads you to the lair of your
garden foes and deal with them ac-
cording to the state of your mind.
During the day the trespassers are
nowhere In sight. Sound asleep, they
rest from the banqueting Of the night.
and when shadows fall, arouse from
their slumbers ravenously hungry, and
return to the same plant they found
so tender and tempting the night
before.
That is another way to trap them.
Once having sampled the tender eel
cry, lettuce. or the like. they come
back regularly until not a sprig is
left.
Now is your chance to use known
tactics for the protection or salvaging
Of your garden stuff. Spread about
your plant a rug of dust. sand or
lime, after they have started to dine.
You may have to use lantern or
flashlight to see how to encompass
the afflicted plant, but artificial light
does not disturb them.
When dawn arrives and the trek to

their sleeping quarters is due, they
will find your barrier-"they shall not
pass"-before them. All interest in
more feasting Is gone. They try again
and again to lay down their silver
path, but they cannot make any head
way over this dusty surface. Later,
II the ants, birds, frogs. or some other
enemies, do not see them, you will
find your defeated foe.
The slug does not have q roof
over his back, like his cousin, the
snail, but he has a protector over
his shoulders where his breathing ap-
paratus is. If you will look closely
you will see q tiny opening to one
side and even see him breathe.
While these fellows do not belong
to the famous Hibernators' Club, they
do sleep through the Winter In some
secluded spot, until the Spring ar
rives, with its tender plants. The
packets Of eggs are hidden under
stones or moist leaves, and II you
look about you will see how much
trouble the mother went to to hide
them from you and her other foes.

he shouldn't be trying to find those
nests, and he knows just what would
happen if he should be seen trying to
find them. So, while he hunts for
nests, he at the same time tries to
keep out Of sight himself.
1t happened that this particular
Spring a pair of Robbins, young birds
of the year before and so building
their first nest. chose to put it in
low crotch of an apple tree in the
Old Orchard. It was by chance that
Striped Chipmunk discovered it, for
it was near the middle of the Old
Orchard and so beyond the usual
range of Striped Chipmunk
1t happened that he was sitting very
still on the Old Stonewan when Mrs.
Robin pulled worm out of the
ground just at the edge of the Old
Orchard. Instead of eating that worm
she flew away with it rather hurriedly.
Striped Chipmunk knew by the way
she few that she was taking it home
to hungry babies. Almost without
thinking what he was doing, he
jumped from that stone wall and
started through the grass of the Old
Orchard in the direction Mrs. Robin
had taken.
He knew that she probably would
fly straight to the nest, so he simply
hurried along, keeping as near to the
line she had taken as he could. And
so at last he came to an apple tree
which forked down, and to his de-
light and surprise he discovered that
in that low crotch was a nest. He
flattened himself down in the grass
and watched until both father and
mother Robin had left to hunt for
more worms. Then he climbed up
one side of that tree In a hurry and
poked his head over the edge Of that
nest. Even as he did so, another head
was poked over the opposite edge of
that nest. It was the head of Mr..
Blacksnake. Such a shock as Striped
Chipmunk received.

watch ON the feathered neighbors
whose homes are likely to be on or
near the ground.
He is very fond Of eggs, Of the eggs
of his feathered neighbors. You see,
being a little fellow, he Is chiefly in
terested in little eggs. Now, Unc' Billy
Postum and Jimmy Skunk are in
terested in big eggs, and that takes
them around hen houses when the
way is clear. But Striped Chipmunk
isn't interested in hens eggs. His
interest is in the eggs of his feathered
neighbors. And he is even more inter-
ested in baby birds. They furnish
him the meat that he likes best. That
is, they furnish 1t to him when he can
find them before they fly.
So it is that In the Spring and
early Summer. Striped Chipmunk
spends much of his time watching his
feathered neighbors and in sneaking
about looking for nests. Sneaking isn't
a nice-sounding word. but sneaking is
just exactly what Striped Chipmunk
did lot of and always does in the
Springtime. You see, he knows that
