ject. of the company is to engage in buying, 
selling, trading, in manufacturing or other¬ 
wise disposing of milk and other dairy pro¬ 
ducts, collecting the proceeds and collecting 
and regulating the price therefor. The loca¬

452; average net weight, 213 62-100 pounds; 
increase, 3 45-100 pounds; yield of lard, de¬

wheat has been sown, and the sole damage has 
been done by the fly; the present outlook is 
unfavorable and the prospect 20 per cent, 
below last year’s crop, which was 20 per cent.
