Do not slaughter the birds. That
is the tewing emphasized in a cir

no one doubts, is sound and good.
The birds are among the farmer's
best friends, and if they are the
friends of the farmer they are the
friends of everyone else, for on the
prosperity of the fanner depends
the prosperity of the whole country.
Then, do not slaughter the birds.
