family arrived she was determined that no offspring of hers would help out in any such scheme and she attempted to murder them all her watchful owner was able to prevent such designs but his next problem was how to get them fed in the natural manner without en dangering their lives however he was equal to the emergency- with a combination of ropes he devised a method of securing the hind and fore legs of the rebel mother in opposite directions while her mouth was also kept securely closed in this way the little fellows were able to enjoy their milk bottles un molested best of all a few
