west and then kicking over the rail
road embargoes. One Milton farmer
said the other day-in answer to a
query: We never buy any western
feed We have 800 bushels of oats
now in the grainery that we raised
land plenty of feed for our 40 COWS.
1t don t pay to buy western feed.

to do is to pull the teats of cows and
see the money run into the pail. =
