Judging from the number disposed
of at ono pitting at tha chicken feed
given by Mr. and 'Mm. Wm. Butler,
by tho Burns bunch aided by half n
Kore of neighbor?, It should not take
long to clean up that crop. The
County Agent was off his food and
could not do Justice to himself, there

that many who wero down and gave'
