Natures Children
BY LiIIion Cox Athey

quired several names: The red
monk, thickwood badger, wood
shock, whistler, whistle-pig and
chuck. He is a vegetarian by choice.
He obtains his liquid refreshment
from green leaves. In one night he
can consume six heads Of cabbage
and as many Of lettuce. He will eat
string beans until he cannot hold
another and soybeans cannot be re-
sisted. He remains within doors dur
ing most of the day, coming out at
twilight.
Living in cellar, no matter how
dry, is not especially good, even for
woodchucks, and they know it. So
they take sunbaths on fiat warm
stones or stumps.
When chased he makes a straight
run for home, jumping quickly into
the front door and racing to his bed
chamber. Then he runs to the front
door, peeps out and blows forth a
shrill threat-filled whistle.
There's little Of record concerning
his provision for his family. He
may or not remain with his mate
while the six to eight babies are In
need of protection. The youngsters
are small, naked and blind when
born in April. BY mid-June they
are ready to face the world and its
problems. Early in autumn they
may dig their own den, though 1t is
not unusual for them to remain
with their mother. They chatter
softly among themselves. Whistling
! Is q later accomplishment.

Woodchucks are the only man.
mails to have their own day on our
calendar. Grounding day is Feb.
ruary 2, when the weather prophet
Is supposed to come out and fore
cast the weather for the coming
weeks.
Last October, the woodchuck,
laden with excessive fat, sought his
shelter for nap that would last for
months. If the weather Is excep-
tionally warm he arouses from his
deep slumber to peer out and per-
haps stretch himself. This is his
formal appearance for the year. II
the broadcaster's forecast is in er-
ror, he has done as well as some OF
his human competitors, who are
doing their best, too.
Woodchucks are wary folks oi
sunny open woods, meadows and
fields. They are members Of the
prosperous rodent family and at
times seem to be too prosperous fol-
the farmers peace of mind. Their
range Is limited, because q wood
chuck establishes residence within
easy walking distance to vegetable
patch or near clover.
Two years seems to be as long as
one home is occupied by the same
resident. When seeking his fortune
elsewhere, the traveller may drop In
on another and remain or he may
find an empty home which he takes
over.
