but one daughter. On his way home he

Business men are quick to conform to

Hauling is one of the most expensive
items on the farm, and in laying of

the first consideration should be the fa-
cllity and ease Of hauling and spreading
the manure on the land, and the carry
ing off the crop therefrom.

placed about the thirtieth month; the
next two are shed in the fourth year, and
