22 CONFERENCE ON MILK PROBLEMS 



b To help educate the public to desire for their little ones 

 such a supply and to be willing to pay the extra charge neces- 

 sary to the production of the same, and 



c To convince the dealer that it costs no more to sell a 

 clean milk than a milk unfit for food. 



THERE MUST BE CO-OPERATION. 



The producer and the dealer must be like two brothers. 

 The producer let us liken to an older brother, because he needs 

 more experience and responsibility in caring for the herd and 

 meeting the many requirements necessary to secure a clean and 

 safe product. The younger brother takes charge of and dis- 

 poses of this product at the city end, a fair return from the 

 sale of it is expected by the older brother. 



The older brother, faithful to the cause of the production 

 of clean milk sometimes complains that the younger brother 

 takes more than his share of the results sending back just what 

 is left after expenses and profits have been retained, giving 

 little thought that there might not be enough to pay the 

 cost of careful production. 



It is desirable that in the production and sale of milk, the 

 producer should be an equal partner in results if he must 

 share the responsibilities to the consumer. And further, he 

 must do all that is necesary to insure a safe and clean milk. 

 Let the brothers divide the amount that the milk brings on 

 the platform in the country, at the R. R. station, working to- 

 gether to give a clean milk to the consumers and demanding 

 just returns for the same. 



A New work of the Committee is being tried in this method 

 of co-operation. The New York Milk Committee lent its 

 influence to the formation of the New York Dairy Demon- 

 stration Co. whose purpose it is to put the findings of the 

 Committee on a working basis to assume the oversight of all 

 sanitary methods and carry out as far as possible all useful 

 suggestions made for the production of a clean milk. 



The subscribers of this company are milk dealers, pro- 

 ducers, and philanthropists. With $5,000, a part of which 

 has been spent for a creamery, finished and equipped with 

 modern machinery by the aid of the sanitary expert of the 

 Committee, assisted by the Chairman of the Milk Committee
