Huffman

I am
still shearin-; by hand, though, to tell
you the truth, I like the machine
work much best.
I have merely
i eglected getting the sheep shearing
machines." It is not generally known
what a large volume of business is
conducted in the sale of pure bred
stock by the Eastern Oregon sheep
breeders.

of both flesh meat and fish together at

during the whole of Lent
"The following persons are exempt

Week and the vigil of Chrlstn.aa.

but also to their entire families."—A.

who buys raw material of any kind
and prepares it for market, fixes the
profit he intends to make by so doing,
and this is true tn regard to milk as
any other article; hence, co-yperatlve
creameries and cheese factories have
been established and succeeded where
proprietary creameries failed.
I am led to believe from my own
observation and the best information
1 can gather that the time is not far
distant when the milk will all be man

quantities of high grade, uniform

There are instance« where the farm
dairy brings as high a price as th
creamery, but that is true in only a
small number of cases for obvious
icaaons; namely
