Last spring my husband purchased six

soon as he got them he began feeding
them. not with simply milk but at every
feed he threw them some shelled corn.
They soon learned to like it and called
for more Of il.
About the first of July he began to feed
them corn meal. that is ten of them. Aug

pound alive. making total Of $3.50 for

Right away after that he hogan feeding
meal to the last lot of six. September ~.

DANGEROUS STREET DUST.
From the Lowell Courier Citizen

Statistics collected by the federal bu-
reau of labor show how that street dust
kills many. The ordinary dust of the
street is less dangerous to health and life
than the mineral and metallic dust In
which many workers toll. but neverthe-
less It Is fruitful source Of consump-
ton. The figures indicate that IS per
cent of deaths IN occupations with ex-
posture to municipal dust are due 10 tn

it Is no wonder that the New York

are to wear masks over their faces TO
