can. I think they make a great mistake in doing it. If 

 young gentlemen do not like to stay on the farm because it 

 is a hard life, here is a light and profitable employment for 

 them. 



Mr. GoDDARD. Mr. Goodman's remark does not apply to 

 me. I am from New Hampshire. 



Question. How do you put up your butter? 

 Mr. Goodman. We put it up in one pound and two 

 pound rolls ; never print it. AYe request our customers not 

 to roll it into any form ; it is worked just right when we 

 send it to them. If they are not content to take it in that

Mr. Arthur A. Smith. I have been much interested in 

 the lecture. I think it is time the men here who represent 

 diiferent breeds of cattle from the Jerseys should give their

 have a friendly talk. This has been a sort of parlor concert 

 to me, with these pet dolls held up for exhibition, that should 

 be laid out on a mattress and fed with a spoon. 



Mr. Hadwen. I think we better get through with the 

 Jerseys before we commence on the other breed, with due 

 regard for my friend over on my left. I want to say, as one 

 who has handled Jerseys for more than twenty years, that 

 I find very few things in the address to which I would take 

 exception. I feel incapable of criticising such an address, 

 and I feel, to use a word that the essayist has used frequently, 

 it is " clean-cut" from beginning to end. There are only
