An occasional dairyman is met with who has mado ample provision for weather extremes by growing such crops as win supplv green or preserved fodder m timo of necessity, and these provident men aro now reaping a good reward, both iu the sizes of their factory cheques and in. preparing their stock to stand a ligoious winter.
