a farm hand and confessed to killing
them and taking their money and an

RABBITS AND HONEY BETS
TOR AAATANUSKA FABAA
A consignment of ten rabbits, al
ternating between badger gray and
white with brown ears, and three
stands of honey bees were among the
shipments passing through Seward
this week from the States bound for
the Matanuska Experimental Farm.
Fully three-fourths of the bees ap
peared to be dead when the wire
cages were removed from the ship,
but the bunnies were in fine shape and
evidently enjoying the experience.
Some of the “low bush moose” had
gnawed the slats of their crates and
could have escaped, but appeared
content to only stick their heads up
to ascertain what all the fuss was
about, and were not averse to the pet
ting of the warehousemen at the dock.

Bacon that comes only from tend r,

enough Bacon each day to supply
