the stem OF feathers and skifully arranged
wound, evidently by the long beak of the bird. In

One day he killed bird that evidently had been
severely wounded at period. The
wound was covered and protected by sort of net

a plaster completely covering and pep:ecting the

as soon as the price gets high the
stealing recommences with renewed

in the profits OF the horse raising busl-

horses the more likely they are to be
stolen. During the past few years. or
perhaps we should say during the last
ten years. th0re has been a movement
among the breeders Of western horses
to improve their stock. Expensive
stations have been purchased in the

believe that three litters in two years

is a needless and a costly limit to the
