is nearly all off her skin. When put on the
scales this morning she barely tipped the
beam at 7l0 pounds There were five Of
these animals. three belonging to Mr. Hol.
man, of Albany, who was paying SIS a
month to have them pastured and put up
each night and fed some grain. People will
watch the prosecutions In this case with
