day or two ago, and to tell you 1 am
well pleased with them would not ex-
press my feelings. They are perfect

CACHE VALLEY CATTLE.

Hope you will do better next time"
"Oh, it's what the country needs.
It's Just like class in school where

prizes; keep up the standard of your

The very tact that there were so few
articles If home II anufacture at the
Ii st fair shows that the people did not
receive fair warning. They will all lie

mate that twenty thousand people saw
the articles on exhibition at the last

tlsement that is to home manufactur-
ers! Can they get it in any other way
for the same money? Not much.
