HOMES OF THE BEAVERS.

Wonderful Work Achieved by These Clever Dam Builders. Beavers arrange their homes in a neighborly way to form villages and towns. It is pointed out that they are lake dwellers for the same reason that early races of men lived over the water. The chief difference between the two, however, is that men built over natural ponds, whereas the heaver makes a pond where he happens to want it. The labors of no other animal on earth, aside from man, present so many interesting phases as those of the beaver.

According to Macoun, who has made most exhaustive studies of these little animals, whole tribes of beavers unite to 5 build villages. Houses, invariably of two floors, bear witness to the uniform genius of these architects. The pantry oc cupies the ground floor, but the upper floors of the beaver's domicile are reserved for his hours of sleep and The walls and upper part are re markably thick, sometimes measur ing several feet. Then, at the be ginning of hard frost, the exterior is coated with a thick layer of mud, which immediately freezes and has the double advantage of perfectly shutting out the cold air and of guarding against the attacks of wolverenes. The smartness of the beaver is also seen in the care it takes' not only to lay in provisions in advance, but also in arranging creep holes to insure its retreat in case of surprise and for its subsistence in a day of need.

The rriost extraordinary works of the beaver are, of course, the dams that they throw across rivers and along the shores of lakes. In this matter they are qualified to- rank with the best of engineers. Two points especially in their work a tract attention, the first being the skill and strength displayed in the construction and the second being their unerring choice of the best materials. In examining the construction of a beaver dam one is at once struck with its extreme simplicity. The wonder is how the mud kneaded and applied by the beaver's paws, unassisted by even the trowel shaped tafl, becomes a hydraulic cement that time hardens instead of dissolves.

The extent of the beaver's works is as surprising as their perfection. Some of them are really colossal and several chains in length. Artificial lakes of considerable, size owe their origin to these dams. The extent Jof the darns is theV most ctriHrj. proof the social habits cf ths bsaver, for several families mTt haye combined to cany out tho plans, and if indidual instinct produced the results of a general rcrtrsncnt ament a these laborers '4 i 1 i i i 0 if a for a Produce Kggs Potatoes, Cream MM .15 16 .1.40 POULTRY Hens .07 08 07 04 05 06 Turkeys Spring chickens Old Roosters Geese Ducks Grain Corn.
