heard was one crow's voice that varied

babel of kaw-—ka-a-a, that clearly ex-
pressed assent, an apparent “that's

ter of congregated humanity when an
orator stoops to their comprehension.
After a momentary pause the orator,

The Value of a Ton of Clover,
At a farmers’ institute, held at Min

of any other grass, and it seeds much

As the cow or other breeding animal
approaches the time of parturition high
feeding, either to stimulate milk flow
or to make it richer, should for the

cow, fare worst. Bat we should not
