informed, the total of 40 cords OF wooe
annually, and wood at the present
market value Is $40 per cord, represents
an outlay of $500.
These buildings having served, it is
hoped, their purpose should be replaced
with comfortable quarters, so arranged
as to require the minimum heat expense
with minimum comfort.
The growing crops are in excellent
condition, approximately IS barrels OF
white potatoes being anticipated crop,
sweet potatoes, cabbage and other gar
den truck are nearing fall gathering in
the usual quantities.
A modern barn for the use of the
Almshouse for the comfortable housing
of the stock, storage of feed and pre-
servation of agricultural implements
should be provided at as early date as
practicable, the present structure hav-
ing become practically useless from old

These recommendation are made
and suggestions have been carefully

of the premises, and we desire to en-
phasize their needs as an economy TO
