An Olympia dispatch to the POSI-
Intelligencer says that the supreme
court has set aside the Judgment for
$3.50 in favor of Joseph West and
wife against the San Juan Realty
Company and granted Judgment for
$3.50. The action was brought IN the
superior court here to recover dam
ages for alleged false representations
as to the boundaries of land bought
by West. It was peculiar case ana
no claim was ever made that the men
who will have to pay the Judgment
were personally guilty OF the sliehtest
instrumentation in the matter.

Land should be thoroughly and

in order to sell their machines. When
they do this farmers are always ready
to adopt them.
This surplus yield. which may mean

very unfavorable, owing to the tre

Therefore avoid close pasturing dur

grass for the cattle without gnaWing

would get the full benefit, disk it every
