No animal can play pouum quits so well as the opossum. when an enemy draws near the opossum draws back the gums from has teeth and makes himself look as if he inkht have been dead- for a long time. To add to the deception his faded. colorless hair. withered ears and tiny tail bear all the sem- blance of death.

A xsns uu. an opossum. and a mouse are all the same size when born - that is, half an inch in lemth.

The Dutah llin disease. which has destroyed so many of our beau- tiful trees is now being kept at bay by the use of antibiotics!

The Colorado beetle is not a bug! It belongs to the order of insects known as Caleoptera. a word which signifies "Wings ineased in' a sheath". It was first discovered by the American entomogolist, Thom- as say. in I824. First seen on the floating grass on the Arkansas and Upper Missouri Rivers, it had by 1885, marched a distance of 365 miles to reach Rock Island, Illinois. Five years later, in 1870, the advance guard arrived in West- ern Ontario and soon spread to the maritime provinces.

The field mouse is active sum- mer.ahd vdnter, day and night, but like other fast living animals, his life is brief. This rodent is an old timer at W: years. Natural ene- mies kill so many mice that very, few reach the is year mark. But in spite of this high mortality they are in no danger of extinction. Each litter contains from 4-8 youngsters and i3 litters in a single year is not uncommon. Females reproduce their kind only two months after they themselves are born. One female is capable of producing 100 mice in a year. un- like the house mouse, the field mouse is a very clean little chap. It carries no disease and keeps its

Beavers have been known to con- struct dams 550 feet long 6 ft. 2 inches high, and i8 feet wide at the base. Such a dam contains an estimated 250 tons of material.

The beaver dam is considered by many to be the most famous Oi."

"As busy as a beaver" is an old saying but not always a. true say- ing, for it is a curious fact that there are beavers that refuse to do any work. The busy beavers resent this and will often bite off the tails of the ldlers.
