Farmers and gardeners in Massa-

damage from deer, the killing of which
has been prohibited for n number OF
years past and are now asking the
Legislature for permission to kill ma

premises. The deer seem to realize
that they are privileged characters and
presuming on this have become so bold
that they invade farm fields and gar.
dens and do much damage In a single

lection which has been carried too far

put stop to the nuisance and make
them seek uncultiyated fields and tim.
