consequently tho Improvement will
not be very expensive. There is but
little profit in dairying as long as re-
lance is placed upon the cows that are
picked up and hawked around the
country for sale TO darymen. The
majority of such COWS have vices.
which is sometimes the reason they are
Sold, and these vices are not easily
discovered until the COWS are put to
