One cau.e Of Poor MIX.

Competition is no mean influencing
agent 1t is well known fact that In
our smaller places reliable farmers
have attempted to produce good
quality Of milk for their customers and
to sell it at fair price. Their charges
estimated from cost of production have
been very reasonable, say 6 cents pei
quart. After starting some irresponsi-
BILE man would undertake to sell milk
at 3, or 5 cents per quart. Conse-
quently the good milk Mas soon crowd
ed out, and there was left upon the
market only this poor quality Of milk.
This irresponsible man could then raise
the price of his milk~-C. l.. Marshall.
