Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1891-10-16

crat that the proper way in which to
secure a regular monthly market day
for Mineral Point is first TO establish a
dairy board of trade, and when the
board is organized it can undertake
the task of holding regular monthly
markets. Boards Of trade and regular
sales days are especially necessary in
districts like this, where great guam
titles of butter and cheese are manu-
factured as they bring the buyers and
sellers together, and better markets
are thus secured. The Democrat wants
the business men of Mineral Point and
all who are interested in the manufac-
ture of butter and cheese, and in other
industries, in this vicinity, to talk this
matter up for few days, and then act
upon it. \ meeting will be called
whenever they are ready for action.

or such permanent Injuries as would
render them worthless. The Drs, give
careful attention to the diseases Of all
domestic animals; respond promptly
to all calls either by day or night, and
