(a)

every such member who produces any such article shall dispose of the whole or any specified amount, proportion or description thereof to or through the society; and

(b)

any member who is proved or adjudged, in such manner as may be prescribed by the rules, to be guilty of a breach of the by-laws or contract, pay to the society as liquidated damages a sum ascertained or assessed in such manner as may be prescribed by the rules or its by-laws.
