The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1906-02-24

Baltimore city be invited out TO learn their
lesson as well as the farmers. Many of them
add coloring matter to the milk after they
take off as much cream as it will allow, and
then write to the farmer that the milk is OF
poor quality because they cannot take a bali
gallon of cream off 5-gallon can of milk and
then sell it for pure fresh milk.
But this is an age when the farmer is in need
of special training. / really think Baltimore
would have purer supply OF milk, though il
the farmer could market his own milk and, in
cidentally, perhaps, the farmer might realize
more profit.
A question under discussion now is, Will we
have another Freeze And have you harvested
sufficient ice to serve you? II.

about. The funny men of the newspaper
joke grimly concerning the long hours tn
farmer must work, although they themselve
are drudges. 1t is only at certain seasons tina
he needs of work longer than the creature @
wages sweating in the city, and he has the sal

toward the rest of the world. But there is n
other man, rich or poor, who is so nearly hi
own master as the farmer.
