Farmers seli their produce such as milk, butter, eggs, and cream by the test and result method, or if they do • not they'-'ought to. We pride ourselves to-day, after four years of work, having adopted the policy of buying our raw cream-on that method, and starting four I years ago we had fifteen suppliers, to-day ■we have close up to two hundred. We still also, have the confidence of the first fifteen 'which started with us four years e"0. Not a. , bad record. Rail us your milk, butter, eggs, or cream.- Wangaaui I'rcsh Pood Coy.—Advt.
