FOX BOUNTIES
Fox bounties came under
serious discussion on Tuesday
afternoon when it was learned
that the agriculture and re.
forestation committee proposed
to reduce the feds to hunters
from $4 per animal killed to
$2. It was pointed but that the
provincial government had with.
drawn, from a previous agree.
meet with the counties to pay
$2 bounty for each fox slain.
Several councillors ques.
tinned whether or not $2 was
sufficient incentive to hunters
whci stalk and kill foxes. Others
wondered if the bounty should
be entirely withdrawn as is hap.
pening in other counties.
"We must have the county
hunters," insisted Goderich
Reeve Herbert Such when it
was learned that a rabid fox
had entered a stable in Morris
Township, that two cattle had
died and more were sick with
rabies and that the fox had gone
into the silo after the farmer
who protected himself with a
fork.

matter, A. D. Smith, reeve of

FIRE IS A
KILLER
TP -caliate a popular song "Spring is bursting out 411.nver,"
But It didn't Sallnd ninCli like it 9111)1areli 28 With .dangerous driving
haxards being broadcast in the storm!
Despite this fact, Holes Dresser found a butterfly, presninahly
lust liatcheii, on their hack verandah and brought it down to Lucy
on March 25.
Poor Butterfly! It was housed in 4 match box and LOU thought
she'd like to see it's colouring when it's wings were open. Closed
it looked somewhat like a gray moire silk with rings of white
shading it. She also thought it would be fun to have it flitting
around amongst the flowers. But that is where she made a mistake.
The lovely creature became so excited that it fluttered in and
Out .amongst the African violets, beating its wings in an effort
to get out the winciew. It disappeared and when Carl went to
search for it .half an hour ,later, he found that it had squeezed
in between the pleetiewhieh shades the violets, It was caught under
it and had expired.
Now Lam has spent hours and hours looking over the plateS
of Butterflies in Nature Library (Rolland) to identify this insect
and she cannot do so. She thought it resembled a Tortoise-shell
or an Angle-wing.
The telephone rang and a familiar voice said; "What do you
think I've got in my house?" Lucy couldn't gaess, "A butterfly
in a glass jar)" said Mrs. Celia Campbell in excitement,
"I've got one, too," Lucy stated "only it is dead."
Mrs. Campbell had found hers half-way up the window in the
back kitchen and was amazed that it had hatched out there in the
cold.
From her description it was evident that they were one and
the same species but which one?
Mrs. Campbell had a different reference book to Lucy. It did
not show the "American Tortoise-shell" but the description of it
fitted our' respective butterflies, particularly the bit about how it
was completely camouflaged while resting With folded wings on
the trunk of a tree or dried leaves.
Lucy passed on Holes Dresser's advice to feed it honey.
And while Lucy was studying the various descriptions, Carl
asked her the, difference between a butterfly and a moth.
Lucy was stumped! Hadn't she had a large collection of both
when she was a young girl with pigtails? Hadn't she been nick.
named "The Butterfly Girl" becaese she was always riming around
with a butterfly net? And she eouldn'tanswer that simple question!
She asked her cousin, Mrs. J. E. Howard. She replied, "The moths
have more scales on their wings and fluff on their bodies."
And then Lucy came across it. They are, suborders of the
Lepidoptera class of insects; R hopalocera (Du tterflies) Heterocera
(moths). Butterflies are diurnal in their habits tying between
sunrise and dusk - very rarely taking wing at night. They have
long thread-like antennae provided with a swellingat the extremity
which gives a club-like appearance. This type of antennae is
very unusual in moths - only occurs in a few rare genera found
in tropical countries, Which seem to represent a, connecting link
between butterflies and moths.
The great majority of moths are nocturnal or crepusculor, that
is flying at the dusk of the evening or twilight of early morning.
Some moths have thread-like antennae to a fine point; others
have feather shaped, and again there are Some, prismatic in form,
provided with a little hook or pier at the end. And there are various
modifications and variation of these forms.
Mrs. J. E. Howard reports that our "Canadian Band" gave its
first performance of the season on Cameron Street on March
27. (Legend says that the 'frogs must be frozen in three times
before the warm weather is here to stay.)
It was such a lovely day, The red-winged blackbirds were
singing, the meadow larks and song sparrows fairly bursting with
song. And the robins and grackles which have been back for two
weeks were chirping the good news, A flock of cowbirds put
down at "The Hut." for a rest one day previous to the storm.
And flocks of wild geese had been sighted by Mrs. R. Blair and
Mrs. David Battye, flying north.
Ken Brandon saw a garter snake two to three feet long March
27, Also on that day, Carl noticed a butterfly similar to the one
Holes Dresser found, flitting about the garden.
'March 28, Mrs. Howard saw two Mourning-Cloaks flying about
her gardenv?Luey learned ,frorii heel that this42speolesbf butterilymili
hibernates. - -'•
Yes, Spring with its high of '72 degrees at "The Hut" on March
27, stirs all nature to get going. And with Carl it was to plant
potatoes. They had to go in on the wane of the moon Or PIRA hoe
have to wait for two weeks to plant! He'd neither certified seed
nor, the garden tilled, but he couldn't resist the urge to plant.
Th refore, six hills of P.E.I. potatoes found their way into
the ground.
