day he and bis family ate some Of
it raw. Not long after they became

/ tin, upon moving from this city
to his farm near Belmont, purchased
a fine Hereford bnl from an exten

it having died Of the black leg. 1t

ard wherefore is desirable. 1t is
about time that the public funds
were more carefully guarded and
pap suckers weaned.
