ed himself as the bearer of good news
in the shape of a handsome legacy
left them by rich relative, lately

The father and grandfather are dead
and the trial of "the last of the race"
has inst been brought to close.
Jacob Flanagan has been convicted
ofmurder in the first degree and sen
fenced to Imprisonment for life in

great interest and cleared away mvs-
teries that have existed for more
than 40 years.

horses than cattle. 1t is among the
poorest for sheep. The best single,
grass for pasture is orchard grass (pac--
tylis glomerata0. This is also the ear
lest, except the small blue grass (Poas

Orchard grass IS valuable for its prompt

freeze and die. The aftermath acts as
a protection, and is necessary in a coAd
climate. 1t will not, however, sat

fibrous, and grow in punches. The sod

roots penetrate to a great depth and
