Old cotton ia worth to the

more than new cotton. That is
the cituitlou at the present time.
The difference is augmented by
the fact that new cotton is too

Y(Xi may find miiny α squirrel

no oue alike exactly io their
method of attempted escape or
concealment. The ways and
means of the little rascal are
legion. One may flatten him
self ont against the gray patch
on the back of α tree trunk,
apsolulcly motionless, and un
ie»* in your earnest, steadfast
looking you can detcct au ear
or shoulder iu relief against the
sky you might as well abandon
the search. Another may lie
along a bough flattened at fall
length; bat heie the tell-tale
can arc more easily silhouetted.
Still another may croncb drawn
up in a fork; and here the thing
' to look for is the flatly tip ol
that little signal flag which al
ways works and waves and jerk*
and signals ao bravely wheu
danger is not in the air. Or one
may gather himself up in α
bunch to imitate a knot or knob;
and here he can very well tell
when you have spied him
out. He will catch your eye
even as you catch the eye of au
acqcuintancc in a crowd and will
instantly limber up for head
long flight, leaping from tree to
tree nntil he vatujhev over the
