 delaying arrival at destination. 



Try to keep from shipping in extremely hot or cold 

 weather. If you must ship in very cold weather, make 

 your shipping box as warm and comfortable as pos- 

 sible, and instead of using the orange crates, use small 

 boxes that canned goods come in, or egg crates are 

 all right, provided you put burlap around them to keep 

 out wind and dampness. The tops should not be left 

 open in winter except small cracks between the slats. 

 These with holes bored in the sides and ends near the 

 top of the box, will give the needed ventilation. Put 

 a good layer of sawdust in the bottom, then plenty of 

 hay and a lot of carrots, and they will carry safely 

 any place in America. No drinking or feed cups are 

 necessary, for carrots are both water and food. 



Make up a few shipping boxes in your spare time 

 and it will save you considerable time later on when 

 vou are in a rush.
