RAISING PAWN.
Farmers Wife Feeding Deserted Baby
 Deer from Bottle.

Many people daily visit the farm of Henry Meyers at Winthrop in Say brook, and take a look at the young deer Mrs. Meyers is bringing up on bottle.
 One morning last week Mrs. Meyers found the animal, wee little thing, not more than half as large as a new born calf, lying directly in front of her kitchen door. Fresh tracks in the yard told that a large deer, probably the fawn's mother had also been there, and for some reason had left her offspring. She left it in good hands, however, for Mrs. Meyers took the little stranger into the house rigged up a nursing apparatus with a piece of rubber hose and quart bot tie and fed 1t milk fresh from her cows. Under this treatment the fawn has thrived and now daily runs about the yard but never goes far from the house.
 Mrs. Meyers keeps a watchful eye on the little fellow and several neigh boring dogs that have come in the yard to strike up an acquaintance with her protege met with such a warm reception that they won't come again.
