the aggregate the fee system is productive of much
hardship and injustice The Internal Revenue laws

of industry, that technical breaches of the law
often ma lie by persons who are innocent Of any
lawful intention The fee is the same for
the officer, whether tho alleged offender

great majority of these officers are entirely above

If any one will observe when the cows
choose to lie down in the yard or pas
ture. it Will be seen that they choose
the bare ground, rather than the sod
or bedding of straw. The sane Is true
of sheep. We have taken this hint
and furnished the cow-stables with
dry earth bedding. Leaves and straw
are poor absorbents in COMPARISON. In
the pig-penS dry earth has no equal.
In very cold weather we add straw or
leaves: but until the weather is very
cold, the animals will be more comfort

earth. This is turned over with .
