The little striped animal, with the beady eyes and a supply of perfume always on tap, has been a bone xt contention in our life ever since we can remember. A few months ago one of these little marauders got into the pen with our bantam and killed half of her brood of turkeys. Our bantam, who is not the "soil bank kind, believes in hatching something when she sits, and put up a terrific battle trying to save her off-spring, but there were too many to keep under her wings. A few nights ago a motorist ran over one of these animals on the race track a few feet from our front gate and as our better half insists, on sleeping with the bedroom window open, we got full measure, which was as bad, or worse, than the fog from the county mosquito con trol machine.
