Taking into consideration the lit
tie trouble and cost of raising,
guineas are a most profitable fowl.
They hunt for food In the woods
and fields and do not come home
to get feed as long as they forage
elsewhere. Each farm should have
at least a few guineas. Large
range should be given, as the fowls
will not thrive when cooped up.

the only grievance he has ever ex-

start the rumor that he was not sane.
He says that if he has to get out of
his trouble through the insanity
dodge, he will stay in It. And so far
as that is concerned he is about as
sane now as they make them. He
has not discussed his case with any
one at the prison, and whatever

strictly to himself.
