Of the times in which We lire. The oe
bers of almost every profession, trad. En-
occupation have found it necessar, Yin,
form associations for mutual imDro,.' ws
and mutual protection. AhboDo, a. =
dairymen of Vermont have inquest. :

few years as their neighborng FARM. a.
yet it can not well be denied that q
have not been doing as well as they ougb' nd
in view of the amount of capital iDva . ~
in their business and the labor roou: W. !.
to carry it on.

among the necessaries, and also anna, ,.o
the luxuries, of life. The not owe, a.. =

content, while their very best good, Ar. 0h'
sold in the market. of the world At ,bon, ~"
