more than 1,bOO.0OD pounds . year: This
has pork kortionstely increased the amount oi
beef, pork, poul ry and eggs produced a.
these pro- Ways increase In the same
ratio With butter and cheese. From + repu-
tation Of manufacturing ople the most com.
mon grades Of butter and cheese, the pro.
duct of the Northern dairy has so improved
that it is highly CONF meoted and sought
after In sll the leadiag markets because 0i

The solution os the oleomargarine or ad-
ulterated product question It seems TO me
is to produce goods of the highest possible
quality and standard; cooperate to make
them on the most economical praeicable
plan; place them OH the mar kets at prices
that will guarantee their use BY the ttisssesi
insist that impure goods shall He sold fof
what th y are, and soon their demand will
so diminish that factories must el,se tor
want Of patronage. To successfully accom-
p'ish this the patrons must sustain the
manufacturer and be willing that he should
realize fair profit, which will enable him
to success ully prosecute his business.

The creameries have wagons and regular

the dairy interest an adjunct to the regul ar
