Particularly featured in the twenty

its stamina is well proved out in the

With the present tendency of the
birds to run up production, and when
it is considered that pen 2S made most
of its progress in the winter, the gain
made by pen is only natural, its least

a while, at least.
There may be other pens, nearby in
