will most probably ward off feather

with a sharp knife pare off the edges OF

blood, ii viii do no harm. This pre-
vents the beak closing sufficiently tight
10 draw the feather, while it in no way
interferes with taking food, and does

this vicious habit will be forgotten

person vino has force of viii enough to
concentrate his whole attention on the
maintenance of this style of breathing
can compel sleep in very unfavorabe
circumstances"
