REMARKS.
The question relative to dairying was
suggested by the remark Of member of
the local grange. 1t presupposes dairy
ing, or at least butter dairying, to be q
desirable and profitable line of farming
for considerable portion of our farm
ers to follow, so will not admit in it,
discussion of any comparisons between
dairying and other branches of agricul-
ture. Neither will matters relating to
the breeding, feeding, or care of cows
be In order. But let the discussion be
confined to the advantages and disadvan.
tages, theoretical and practical, of coop
erstive dairying rs compared with pri
vate dairying
1t Is the design Of the educational top
ic to bring out ideas and plans for sys-
tematic connection between the educa'
tional work In the Pomona Grange, and
that OF the subordinate oranges; 10 be
supplemented by course Of home read
ings on the leading literary, agricultural
social and political subjects to be taken
up In the meeting.
