Mr. Smith, one of the ueW pro

the old plant on Thursday of

will be marketed in this inter

A buyer has left for Wisconsin
this week to purchase dairy stock
for farmers of this vicinity to in

milk of 300 cows can be obtained
at present, with a steady increase
in sight from the freshening of
early spring milkers.
The new firm are here with
