so nice as they were last year." These

now loading the trees or lying on the 1

apples that are thrown into them, and |
are growing fat The same can be

enjoying and improving on the full /
apple crop. When apples aud corn i
are poured into their feed box they i
will often leave the corn to eat the
apples. ]
