young men roaming through the

all expenses have to, come out of

of being a nuisance to their work

sadly to blame for this state of af.

drink this milk, if he would only
take a peep at the COW that gives

not full of milk. In the name of
common sensel what is the use in
keeping such stocks No milk,
no butter, no beet, save a little
nnsavory stuff in grass time.
