hard time this winter. On the farm Of Mr.. George
Councilman three covcys. numbering 10, have be-
come 80 tame BY feeding them for two weeks that
every day they around the buildings for their
food. I have heard Of evcrallosing their chick
ems by being frozen to death on their roostS. Two
dogs were frozen To death In their kennels, hut
think IL was the fault cf their owner, who forgot
% feed them sufficiently. and having So little flesh
On their bones they could not stand the cold. II
Is bad practice To- keep taore dogs than hogs.
