from the frosss and violent storms of
eur Northern winters, and extreme and
broiling heat of our summer seasons; in
localities not only productive, but where
the health of invalidR rapidly i0pFoves
aud in localities where stock may feed in
the fields all through the year, thereby dis
pensing with large outlay In ouihouses,
and Outstanding half the crops to keep tie /
stock through the winter, as is the csse 10 !
