Thus il will be seen the plan which we
inauGurate ut Little Falls has not been
without its results and has developed a
system Of marketing Of the utmost bcne-
fit to dairymcn aud the trade. In the

has been nauguratcd during the present

and unity OF action are the great princi- |
pies OF power and progress in the world. |
| The farmers of America have not always

their products; they have proceeded upon
the idea of negative responsibility, oper-

ont any well digested data of values, and |
| trusting to luck or chance in the we'll or |

II has been abundautly proved wher |

When goods arc scattered over the coun-
