BUTTER. BUTTER For the month ending
May 18th there has been shipped from the
railroad station in this village the large guam
tity of 2i6,olS pounds. ANY one good in fig
rrcs can readily tell how manv tons of butter
are thus sent from enc station in Franklin
County IN one month. and that too before
the green grass appears.
OF the above amount B. F. Rugg, has sent
1912 tubs. weight. $500 lbs.

Vermont would be selling out their farms and

OF country. The average price of butter for
the month past. which of course is all new.

the County IN one month at that rate. for
2l1.olS pounds OF butter. to say nothing OF
