the most valuable articles known for feeling
swine. The pumpkin should be cut it thin slices,
and thoroughly dried by exposure, in clear wea-

BILE will be the article for this purpose. Good,
well-matured fruit should be selected for this
purpose. When thoroughly dried, pumpkin is
ground as easily as Indian corn or any other
grain. The proper method of using il is to mix

And he is one Of three;
He said TO the middle man:
