For the rabbits and haves it means that they must scratch down through the dull, frozen stuff before they can find their usual food. If the snow is réally hard the rabbits are reduced to eating the bark of the fences near the warrens. All the smn!lt.-l birds are cut off from their food supplies. Those that live on worms or insects are particu- larly hard hit, apd if the snow lies long the death roll’among such birds a8 robins is really terrible. In that winter of 1617, when there were a hundred days of snow and frost in England it Is estimated that the Brit- ish Isles lost about one-third of their small-bird population. Water rats, shrews and others all dislike frost and snow becanse such weather makes food more diflicult to obtain, Otters, as a rule, make straight for the coast in a hard frost, and live on dabs and flounders in the \mfrowln estuaries, Even rats, which: can' gener nlly look after themselves, dislike snow because it makes their dark bodies too con- splcuous to thelr enewmies and pre- vents them from moving ahout' as freely us they otherwise would. — e —— We must have room for our basement store--and have decided to discontin- ue shoes.
