Deer Tiaid also been moving hack \aiTd forth between the cornfields. There was one other creature that had been but along the old roadbed, crossing back and forth as it meandered, but finally setting out with a busines-like shuffle for near- ly half a mile. The diagonal placement of the shuffling tracks were a quick give away to the nocturnal travels of a skunk - probably a male in search of romance. One of the Seven Sleepers, the skunk spends most of the winter dead to the world in a woodchuck hole or similar warm and secure retreat, where it lives off the fat of last year's plenty stored under its hide. Along about late Feb- ruary or early March, the first warm nights arouse its hormones, and males begin their search for mates. Though seldom seen in daylight at other times of the year, during warm days of late winter they may often be seen still roaming fields and brushlots in broad daylight. In April or May, about two months after mating, four to AlgbUlcarivhelpless, blind and naked young are born in nroM WOOochuck den, under a barn or in some similar secure place. Males are wanderers and play no part in the early care of the young, though they may join the family Chronic Bronchitis Spring is nearly here but your winter cold lingers on. You cough. You spit. And if you are a heavy smoker, too, it could be chronic bronchitis. Chronic bronchitis is nearly always associated with heavy cigarette smoking. It is likely to start in middle age and get worse as the years go on unless you seek help from a doctor early on. About three times as many men get chronic bronchitis as women. Most people with chronic bronchitis' live in cities where air pollution is a problem. The American Lung Association of Central New York says that because people don't consider chronic bronchitis a killing disease, it is often neglected until it is an advanced state and there is serious damage to the lungs. But in 1981, about 7.1 million pedple suffered from chronic bronchitis. It brought death to about 3,900. Physi- cians report more than 330,000 new patients with chronic bronchitis every year. The Social Security Administration grants disability benefits to about 1,500 victims a year. Undoubtedly, chronic bronchitis is one of the nation's costliest diseases in terms of manpower, money and misery. Since people who get chronic bronchitis are nearly always smoking, the cough is usually dismissed as only \smoker's cough.\ As time goes on, though, colds become more damaging. Coughing and spitting last longer after each cold. Soom they're with the victim all the time- before colds, during colds, after colds. Generally the cough is worse in the morning and evening and in cold, camp weather. If your winter cold lingers, see your doctor. He or she can help you enjoy the sprine- For more information about Chronic Bronchitis and other diseases affecting lung health, contact your Ameri- can Lung Association of Central New York, P.O.

It is usually well into June before they are taken by their moth- ers on excursions away from their den in search of food. •By the time the young are beginning to feed oil wiM food, it has become abundant, for they are not specialized feeders, but thrive on many different things. One extensive study showed that over 40 percent of their diet consisted of insects, over 20 percent of fruit and berries and 15 percent of small mammals such as mice. Between their diet of mice and insects this sounds as though skunks are beneficial animals to have around. Unfortunately some of the good they do is misinterpret- ed. They dig up turf in lawns, but in doing so they are destroying many grubs that eat the roots, destroying die turf in their own way. Proper control of the grubs in your lawn will eliminate the food which causes skunks to dig up the turf. Skunks also dig up the underground nests of yellow jackets and bumble bees. Before eating an adult bee, it is rolled over and over in the grass by the skunk with its front feet, until the bee is more pulp than stinger. They will do the same thing to bees at the entrance of a beehive, coming back night after night until the colony is too weak to suvive the winter. This can be overcome by raising hives a foot or 18 inches off the ground. Their love of eggs is a vital element in controlling snapping turtles in our marshes. Skunks can sniff out buried turtle eggs in the sand, and dig directly to diem, not missing a one, leaving the coiled, leathery shells as evidence. Though they have the reputation of being little stinkers, skunks really are rather gentle and tolerant animals. There are probably many more in your neigh- borhood than you suspect, doing their part to keep the area clean and free of vermin. Just don't annoy them, and they won't bother you. i0 MO NTG OAAE RY SUTE Save $ 10. Get Away =.With trade-in Rfg„59.95> (3% Away 60 is constructed for the pdwef needs of larger cars.
