an appropriation Of 900 for new COW stable on

. oessty in view Of the high death rate among the

Of them die because they are starving when they
are sent TO the institution on the island and have
10 be fed on the bottle when they get there. With

NAL. The plan is 10 raise the COWS on the island
and provide food for them there. and have plenty
