Tho carly stuff in our homo market Is

is accomplished by preparing tho soil In tho

AS germs arc carried through the air on

hay from the NOV during or just before

Thinking OF building a sllo? 1t is better
by a great deal TO save cornstalks for feeding

pounds OF butter and In 1879 over %. 600 900
