DATES OF FALL FAIRS SALE REGISTER BAKING SALE â€".-~, "4 “Not only are beaver becom- ‘ing a nuisance in some locali- ties, but bold and lazy. At the {close of the recent trapping season, a farmer and trapper in the Plevna area, one half mile from the nearest water, :reported the following story to 'us. “ The following clipping taken from the Renfrew Mercury and sent to us by one of our subs- cribers, is proof that our local millers, Attwool Sheppard, are not the only ones tormeted by these industrious lit‘g‘le animals. It says: ‘ BEAVERS A NUISANGE IN MOST AREAS Towards the wee hours of the morning, the farmer was arused by the excited barking of his two hounds. Several attempts to quiet the animals failed. Fin-ally at 4 a.1n. when it be- came apparent that there would be no further sleep unless some- thing could be done about the noise, the farmer went out to investigate. Here the owner found both dogs looking toward their dogrhou'se and the pres- enee of their master gave them added courage to approach closer and to snarl and! bark more viciously, but it was quite obvious they would not enter or even get too close to the entrance. Very cautiously the farmer peered into the dog-h-ouSe and low and behold, there sat an extremely large beaver on- the skinned-out carcass of another which had been? placed there as food for the dogs. It is any person’s guess as to Whether the beaver was look- ing for ready-made lodging or attending the wake of a, depart- ed' friend! While we believe the first one, we Will let you decide on the next. A farmer from near the same area was having some beaver trouble and reported same to the local Conservation Officer. He was told he could destroy the dam and then to hang a lantern: nearby and to place tin cans along a wire which would frighten the animals away. This was tried and several days later the Farm-er reported the following“ story. After the. lantern and tin eans were strung along and over the creek where the dam had been, the farmer waited for a couple of nights to see what effect they had. When BUTTER GRANITE 00.
