that il was the pleasure this year for us
to notice everything we could. The
farms show . wonderful thrift and mar.
agement that denote good class or
farmers, and the cleanliness and regu-
larity Of the crops show good judgment
and attention by those interested. We
endeavored to strike up Q trade with
Bro. Krodel for his span OF yellow

have the mules but not the horses.
