What Will We Do for a Dairyman Is The Question?

M. J Thornton, who has conducted a dairy here for the past two years and who has run it in a very satisfactory manner, announces that he has decided to quit the business owing to a scarcity of pasture and that on next Saturday, March 26th, beginning at 2 o’clock, he will sell all of his cows at public sale at the Leek hitch barn. He is not decided in what business he will engage, having two or three propositions under consideration * His milk customers are wondering where they will look for milk. Several have tried the business and have given it up, about all agreeing that there is not money enough in the business commensurate with the hard work attached to it. - There is a chance though for some energetic man to build up quite a business if he can find pasturage for his cows.
