Dairying and market vegetables

There is no reason why horses and
cows may not be kept in the same
building, but they should be kept in
separate stables. Few horse stables
are free from the strong odor of am

impure air.
One by one the bugbears which
have been exhibited to the dairymeu
by so-called experts are dissolving
from view like morning clouds. First
the pellicle Of the butter globule faded

others, and now the sweet cream

The farmer or dairyman who does

which is the fundamental basis o!
