told that they were, he promptly
offered to kill them all off. Said he

get away. "-Ex.

many Of them think. The we'll i'm
proved and we'll kept farm is an adj
vertisement which he who runs may
read. When the farmer drives a fine
span of horses to town they always
attract attention and buyers flock
around offering fancy prices; likewise
a big crop of corn or oats or an extra
fine bunch of cattle or hogs is known
and talked about for miles around, and
all the while the farmer reputation
is gaining and his pocket book becom-
ing more corpulent. People read the
farm.
