WHEN WINTER COMES.

| "x1ES1N w x4N SN|lS1IJ0s
When winter comes to the man,
NAL world those who are abroad
either prepare for this time by
boarding food, taking their chances,
or enter deep slumber. Plant life is
covered. Entrances to dens are
masked, the scent killed by the cold,
crisp air.
Bats and many other animals mi
crate from one area to another, but
not too far away from home. The IA
nous sleepers-bears, ground squir-
rels, chipmunks, skunks, woodchucks,
jumping mice and raccoons-have
put on layers Of fat to tide them
over the months they are wrapped
in deep slumber.
Beavers have wisely stored their
food in "deep-freeze spots" the floor
of their damned pond. Muskrats
have also made provisions against
the winter.
Meadow mice frequently keep their
storehouses underground. Sometimes
the grassy globes on the surface are
used and in winter you will find
snow melted just above the nests
from the heat of their body. The
jumping mouse keeps active until
the snow or cold weather makes him
roll up into tight ball.
Gray squirrels, though not hiber-
matters, put away food in dirt pock-
cts or under leaves. When this is
covered by sleet and snow they must
fast. Even though the foolish ones
could have stored an abundance of
food in their hollow tree home, they
never do.
Red squirrel cousins of the north
hang frosted grapes and dried mush-
rooms on small limbs Of trees so
they can reach them when other
stores are covered with snow.
Animals who must stalk food
through the winter put on heavy
fur coat. Many make their dens
comfortable with leaves and grass
If they have to fast their thick layer
of fat, put on the autumn before,
sees them through.
Rabbits are not as provident, as
their cousins, the comics, and must
scrape under the snow for bit of
green.
Fish 90 deeper into the water or
migrate to escape the cold. Birds fly
hundreds-some fly thousands-of
miles to spend the winter where
sunshine and food Is abundant
Other birds remain in tho North to
piece out what they can find and to
accept the generosity Of friends who
provide cafeteria of seeds and suet
