Webster defines a mole os
"A small animal* * * which,
ia esamh of food, worms aad
insects forms a road beseatb toe
surface of the ground. Notice
the phrase Noah Webster asas
"In search of food, wonas and
kweeta." The inference b that
the mole does aot gat vegetable
life. The mole belongs to the
borrowing class of aumakaad
ia adapted to getting his food by
capturing insects in the soil.
By natal* be k a carnivorous
animal, Us teeth are long and
slender, not broad and flatlike a
herbivorous animal. By study
ing his teeth we find that he
never cau plant food. Moles
are said to destroy large amounts
of com, and perhaps they db.
Bat they do not eat corn. Corn
Is planted in rows sad the soil it
cut bv the shoe sabaoiler of the
planting machine so that a
loose place is made in the field
in line with the seed that Is
dropped and when a mole strikes
that loose, half made to ns el, he
tnrna into it became it is easy
digging. Of coarse if there is n
pl»nt In the way be clips off
the root or shovels it aside,
which would break the feed
roots of the plant killing it.
We often hear people say the
moles took ap every bill of com,
which is incorrect. Field mice
following in the motes’ runs are
responsible.
Ants are industrious in soil
improvement, who has not seen
the little bills of finely worked
soil thrown up by these soil
i«**cu? The ground some
mornings is thickly coveted with
these little sat bills.. A table
spoonful in a place is not an
asnal. On a plot 10 feet- square
where ante are working a peck
of this subsoil dirt could he
picked ap. The soil handled by

Another soil worker is the

click, slimy red flesh colored
worm which boys bug on fish

ia not Noah Webster’s bet is ac
cordiag to troth. This worm
acta chemically as well as
mechanically. The ckemieal
ectioo on the soil is the result
o! the dirt passing through the
food. In this process

In all ay experience and
thoughts I am conaciona of a
hand. Whatever tonchea me,
whatever thrills me, b aa a
hand that tonchea me in the
dark, and that touch la my
reality. Yon mi/tht aa well say
that a sight which makes yon
glad or a blow which brings the
stinging tears to your eyes is un
real aa to say that those 'im
pressions are unreal which I
have accumulated by means of
touch. The delicate tremble
of a butterfly’s wings in my
hand, the soft petals of violets
curling in the cool folds of their
leaves, or lifting sweetly out of
the meadow grass, the clear,
firm outline of face and limb,
the smooth arch of a hone's
neck and the velvet touch of bis
nose—all these, and a thousand
resultant combinations, which
taka shape in my mind, cou
stitute my world.
