It will in- terest the scientists particularly- It's about a little animal that lives at Macdonald College and devotes her life to her children, which is very proper for mothers. Somebody call- ed her "Horace," which is not a lady- like name, yet Horace she is. Already her children are muchsought after. Some have gone to Mc- Gill University, some to Queen's Uni- versity, some to the Animal Disease Research Laboratory at Hull. For Horace is a golden hamster, and the golden hamster is a laboratory an- imal par excellence. Time may came when it will replace - the familiar guinea pig in the best of laboratories of the country. Let one who has s n Horace, tell the story. Horace to stn exactly like a plump, well-built mouse, except for her fur. Instead of dun gray, it is bright gold. The Institute of Parasitology at Macdonald has faith in Horace and her children, so hamsters are now, be- ing bred there. Most people have never seen a golden hamster; Lord Tweedsmuir is an exceptign. When he , visiA'ed Macdonald, Horace was presented. It was the first golden hamster His Excellency had ever seen. But that was not surprising for until five years ago not one scientist in the worldhad seen a live golden hamster.Horace can trace her ancestry back and not very back, to that hamster family captured just half a decade ago in Syria, when twelve young ones were taken with their mother in a capture that set scientists marvelling. For prior to that discovery only two specimens were known to science -a stuffed skin in a museum in Russia, and a skull in Palestone. The native habitat of the golden 'hamster is the desert. There it, bur- rows down twenty feet into the sand, and lets the race of man go by un- heeded/That is not because it fears human beings. Taking Horace as a sample, nothing could be further from the truth. Horace is the friendliest animal imaginable, and is quite con- tent to settle in the palm of a human hand and eat peanuts. And the gold- en hamster has already come to be viewed as a new ,domesticated ani- mal,• The hamster feeds on peanuts, .dog biscuits, mixed grains and'milk; and though about the size of a well set-up mouse, can stuff two peanuts, shells and all, into its little mouthat once. The hamster is worthy of note, also, because it is one species in which the - females are more to be desired than the males. Tho lady hamster is Miele, alert, intelligent; the gentle- man hamster is sleepy, crusty and un- certain. 'While breeding of hamsters at the Parasitology at Macdonald is still in its infancy, the work is going ahead; and already the hamster population of Canada is rising. Horace has not only won scientists at Macdonald be- cause she is a goodmother, but also becauseshe is an amusing and in- teresting pet. season's crop, together with valuable farm machinery, fell prey to the flames. The tractor, standing outside bhe barn while in operation, was sav- ed along with all live stock. The feed mill was inside and could not be re- moved. The loss, estimated at $5,000 was partially covered by insurance. The building stood upon stone foun- dations with spacious stable room un- derneath and was one of the most complete and convenient barn struc- tures in thetownship. - Goderioh Signal -Star.
