Editor RECREATION: 
During a ten years’ stay in the mountains 
of Arkansas I killed a great many gray 
squirrels and at least 2 out of every 5 
males killed had been previously emascu- 
lated, some of them bearing distinct scars. 
I cannot attribute this to the red or any 
other species of squirrel, for there were no 
pine squirrels there and but very few fox. 
It is the old male grays that do the work, 
and as far as I am acquainted with different 
tribes of the rodents, it is a characteristic 
of them all. 
Mrs. Long Suffering (to the milk-man): 
“Ts the river bridge down?” 
The Milk-man: “No, mam. Why?” 
Mrs. L. S. (looking at the thin, blue 
milk in her pan): “Oh, nothing, only I 
thought it probable you had been fording 
the river lately.” GIS:{B:

raphy practicable?”
