produts that would find roar’y
and profitable di soosal in an

"Butter is the thing," we are
told, so a fifty thousand collar
creanery is built and we atre sup
plied with afev; Cuomsey co\:3.
This is a breed that under favor
able conditions sre good. milie
producers. We stable the-’ in
our so wo 11 ventilated bums,
that are designed alon^ the lines

Union Depot and spend a large
share cf our short winter day cut

After the transaction, in
