think of it. Why is it, when money
is so scarce, that the people in all
our Southern towns have to RELY on
western butter, condensed milk,
and canned fruits, far inferior to
our cwn7 If these things can be
raised and manufactured in cold
climate, and on land worth from
fifty to a hundred dollars an acre,
