rails from the branch it goes into the
water and gets a good bath. An or

oranges to open the pores of the skin

all out and helps to preserve them.
California people have learned the
trick from the Monaghan farmers out
there.

After passing over the welI-kept
drives of the farm, through ornamental
gardens and fields producing alfalfa,
sweet corn and oat hay in abundance

of the 600 acres are in full view
