is one Of the greatest Bills" Mr..
Adams declared, that has been intro
duced in the General Assembly this
year. It has met with the approval
of the head Of every department con-

planned each section in detail along

The farmers certainly should know
what they want, as well as the law

was decided by practical farmers, and
not theoretical farmers. 1t seems very
