pickles this is not only an offense against the law tor which there is a penalty tout a rather unthinking piece of tousiness it is hardly conceivable that there are so many people in a community of this class that the dairies are actually running short of bottles and may be put to big expense to buy in an additional supply here in stouffville we are buying milk below prices obtained in the aver
