a knowledge OF the animal. says a writer
in the Country Gentleman.
To produce the best results a terrapiu
farm should be above tidewater, on clean.

and regular feeding are essential. There
should be a hospital. into which may bs

fatal. 1t is less expensive to treat then,

Under proper conditions thousands of
