i weak but powerful i i m louise c hastings rather contradictory isnt it let it describes one ol our forest animals the porcupine is a weak animal slow of motion with no ability to ge out of the path of danger but nature has given him a means of defence which no other animal cares to combat he is covered with an armor the like of which no knight of the olden times fought against some years ago the writer was en- joying a vacation in the north one night the owner of the house invited any interested people to view a porcu pine which had just heen shot most of us were closer to this chikl of na ture than we had ever heen before or would ever caro to be again and we had time and opportunity to study his armor at our leisure without being on guard but what took our attention more than the dead animal was the condi tion of the dog who had gone with his master on the porcupine hunt the dogs mouth was filled with ullls pierced into the flesh and two men were working fast to get them out they feared that the dog might have to be killed he had come in contact with the porcupine as dogs some times do who have not learned to obey their masters orders or who aro naturally good hunters and are used to hunting to the end and when the animal had run backwards the quills were jammed into bismouth i heard afterwards that they were obliged to kill the dog it was the only humane thing to do when these quills get into the flesh of any animal they keep pushing deeper and deeper into the flesh until they reach a vital part and kill isnt that a marvelous means of defence for an animal that cannot run fast sometimob a wild cat is ravenously hungry and will attack a porcupine for food even one quill if it lodges in his flesh will eventually kill bim quite a price to pay for his days menu it is an erroneous idea that the por cupine can throw his quills it is an impossibility the farmer whose dog was injured explained to us that the porcupine has the power to run back wards and he jams his quills into whatever annoys him as he did to his dog here too nature adds an other gift for how many animals can run backwards tke quills are loose ly set in the skin and are easily dis lodged the tail of this animal is another wonderful apparatus it too is arm ed with quills and as he swings it ferociously the barbed quills get caught in the flesh of whatever animal is near so nature has given this animal an armor of needles that protects him from intrusion but is there then no animal that dares tackle him and still not have to pay with his life has nature no checking this one species as she cheeks all others the flsher who is the fiercest and largest of the martens is the porcu pines deadliest enemy ho has learn ed how to fight him and ho tackles him from underneath where there are no quills man also is his enemy for the porcupine visits his crops and eats tho bark of trees and kills thom naturo cares for all hor children in different ways she feeds thom all and gives overy one
