is Of the opinion that many advan-

while the milk, IN my opinion, is
not superior to cows milk in itself,

keeping q goat lies in the fact that

In other words. the consumer can
be absolutely assured that the milk

There would be no advantage in

NOW ITS THE OYSTER

Now comes the sad intelligence that oysters have felt the pressure of hard
 times and have taken rise in imitation of meat and other provisions. By and by only the air of heaven will be left free to. poor tax-ridden humanity. and mo cue knows how soon some trust will corner this and put tax upon it. All over Connecticut there has been raise in the price of the oyster. Select stock goes from $1.40 to $1.5o to S1.10 and sil5. Oysters will be still higher before they drop The reasons for the increase are many. First is the law requiring special packages for the oyster. It has cost the Rocky Point Oyster Co. already &3.000 for extra packages. Another reason is that there are many beds about New Haven from which oysters have been shipped which are now under the han. Oysters may be grown there, but thsy have to be transplanted first before shipment. The constantly increasing cost of cultivation is given as another reason for the increase.
