Having heard that something of the kind

sksptical at first, soon found there was some

from seventy-fve cents TO a dollar and q half
and the yield Of oil is about the same value.
They have from six to ten young at a time. and
breed several times in q season, the same as
rabbits. Mr.. Lininger established his

animals. and now, in so short r time. there are
