this section thought that grass, hay.
long fodder, turnips and an occasional
hot mash were proper and profitable

graph out in the barnyard and starts
the music going.

and his men can do to set the buckets
under the cows fast enough to catch
the milk.

and quality of music also has an i'm
portant bearing on the milR supply

he placed 1.-THE Heart Bowed Down
in the machine. It saddened the COWS
and they gave scarcely any milk.
