DON'T KILL EN-.

Skuuks have killed 90 spring
chickens for Ed Longmire.
VIM. Jones killed 8 young
skunks under his hen house.
They had been sucking eggs.
To the farmer we would say,
don't kill 'em, also don't kill
the sparrow and chicken hawks.
1t is true they kill a few chick
ems and suck some eggs, but on
the other hand all three Of
them destroy thousands of field
mice and rats each year, there
by more than repaying the
farmer for his comparatively
small loss. One big toad in a
garden is worth almost as much
as a hoe and a band, because
they destroy vast numbers of
bugs and slugs which would
consume the vegetation.

the packing houses of Kansas City got the contract. It involved the purchase of LOGO head of choice cat tie. The meat was then shipped to New York aud was there frozen per fectly solid and slowed away in the hold of the refrigerator ship Glazier. When the meat arrives at Manila a defrosting machine will be used to gradually return the meat to it's fresh state without the evils of frost biting by sudden and hasty thawing. In last weeks London paper it is stated that over half of the beef sold during the last month was frozen beef from the United States and that 80 per cent of the mutton was frozen carcasses from the Argentine confederation. The success of the transportation of frozen meats puts the feed lots of the Missis- sippi valley within reach of all the markets of the world and decreases freight rates so that we get nearly double the prIce for fat beef. he opening up of these markets prevents a glut of beef in any one of our home markets. No longer will we hear of overproduction and the consequent low prices.
