Therefori!, as the hulk of the revenue, of the fanners came from their dairy produce, they must do their utmost to see that all their output was of the best.

In conclusion, he again urged the suppliers Io keep n light hold on Iho markets, supply the besl quality produce, and tho best would come hack in Litem,
