Every day she laid two eggs.
And on Sunday she laid thre,"
A few hens like that would he =
bonanza these times.
Why does the Puget Sound?
1t is about six months until musca-
dimes are ripe again.
This is fine weather, the Weekend
OF last week and makes the birds and
mems sing. 1t seems it can almost
make goose sing.-Monday rain.
Strawberry plants are budding somn
and | saw plum blossoms but it sccn3s

IS very near. How many weeks limit
does the ground hog give us? Six

lew mornings ago I counted 25 on
about hundred yards of telephon,,
wire at one time. must get b,,sy
and make some bird houses.
1t is too late to hunt rabb;ts o.,
tirely too late for a person to eat
them, and I think will protest strono-
~ against dogs running around on NV
little farm destroying Young rabbits
and partridge nests, even eating tho
Young birds. I want such things to
increase in this country and rs far nc
