A local farmer, who lias had a large number of eggs taken from the nest boxes of his low! run, decided to lav a trap in the hope of catching a weasel which had been seen in a hedge nearby (says the Hawera “Star”), and which he felt sure was the culprit. Baiting the trap with an egg, he placed it at the entrance to the nest boxes, and eagerly awaited results. A few hours later, the excited clucking of the fowls brought the farmer out “on the run,” armed with a substantial stick. To his surprise, the trap contained a hedge-hog, firmly caught by the fore legs, and trying in vain to curl itself into p ball. Wood's Great Peppermint Cure—For Children’s Harklnc Cough. —Advt.
