Pocket
Monkeys

The latest fad in the way Of pets is
the pocket monkey. It is only about
two years since the little fellow made
his first appearance 10 this country in
his present capacity and he might be
said 10 have taken be hearts OF pet
lovers by storm. " his popularity
has become so great that the men who
make a business OF catering 20 the
whims of the people who Ike pets say
that the demand for the pocket mon
key is FIVE times as great as the sup
ply They predict a bright future for
the new favorite just as soon as the
people down in Brazil can be made to
understand what a good commercial
article they have and thus be induced
to make a regular business Of captur-
ing these monkeys and shipping them
up here
The pocket monkey dwells so far in
the interior Of Brazil as TO be almost
out OF the reach OF traders He Is
perhaps. the smallest member OF the
Ave inches Ions. but with a tail that IS
sometimes three times as long as his
body he belongs 10 the marmot fam
ily OF monkeys, and is extremely neat
IN person and cleanly Of habit II il
wasn't for those characteristics. he
would not be holding the place he does
In the hearts OF those who have in
vested In him.

Feeding for the production Of eggs
IS a subject that constantly engages
the best thought OF the best poultry
men. That Il Is an open subject yet
it proved BY the fact that good and
experienced p0ultrymen disagree as to
the competition Of necessary rauons
and the method Of their feeding
Even the men that adopt iron clad
rules IN this regard are known to
change them. This goes to prove that
no fixed rule has yet been agreed on.
For reasons which none OF as are a.
yet able 20 understand, one man sue
ceads with one ration and another
with another even when the birds
are OF the same breed and all condi-

that depends on the presence Of an
active intelligence. which intelligence
can never be reduced To rule.
The advantages OF pens that can be
moved about freely are obvious. Re-
