more of our subscribers have had their hen 81
houses whitevasbed, or have hauled several a
loads of manure away from their barns, we
hope they will acquaint us with the fact Il
and we will make due notice of it; as the b
loss of subscriber gives US the blues tor six p
months, and we feel like suspendIng publI- p
