A small herd of axis deer is well worth all 

 the trouble that it costs to keep it. Values 

 range according to the ages of specimens. We 

 have bred and sold many, and the demand is 



uniformly steady. Yearling animals bring sev-

 dollars, while more mature examples are worth 

 up to one hundred and fifty dollars each. The 

 accompanying illustration of these brilliantly 

 marked animals will convey an idea of the at- 

 tractiveness of the species.
