3o6 MISCELLANEA. 



August 1 8, 1900, when I picked up two leverets, just about 

 four or five days old, and brought them home. They were 

 fed at first with milk from a spoon, and afterwards with bread 

 soaked in milk. They throve and grew well, living in a box 

 for some time, and were afterwards turned into the wire run 

 in which you have seen them, the run being about 15ft. by 6ft. 

 The doe produced three young ones in 1901, a two and one. 

 Next year she had two young again at two different times. 

 In 1903 she had four young at three times. The doe died 

 early this year, and we decided to give the buck his liberty, 

 but he would not leave the place. However, in July he got 

 out of his run, some wire having become displaced. In the 

 evening he was sitting about waiting to get in again, when 

 two of our dogs found him and chased him away over the 

 fields. However, he returned to try and get in three times, 

 but failed to do so, and at last he was hounded off, as I 

 thought, for good. But, thinking he might return at night, 

 I left an opening in the wire of his run, and next morning he 

 was safe at home again, and does not seem as if he wants to 

 go away at all."
