Farmers should remember that this
is the very hardest time Of the year
on stock. Chilly spring rains together
with poorly rooted and poorly drain
Ell stables, injure stock more than the
col'lest winter weather when dry.
This is hard to remedy in many cases.
but the overflow water should be got
away from around the stables as soon
as possible.
The county commissioners should
provide either n fiat boat for the use
of the county officers, or pneumatic
tube to land them safely in their new
offices until the dry weather comes;
or else expect a suit for damages
from some of their widows for drown
Ell husbands, as the chances are very
good for getting drowned between
town and the new court house at the
present writing.
