I want to speak of the second prize winner in the eastern 

 section. Mr. Webb has his milking done in an S^/o-quart can. 

 He told our agent that he calls any man a fool that would 

 use a milk pail at all. He says a man can learn in three 

 days to milk into an Syo-qnsirt can. It took him about three 

 days to learn it, and our agent reports that he did it very 

 handily. The next day after this prize was announced in 

 the papers in i!^eedham, or within a few days, anyway, 

 Mr. Webb, who won the second prize, received 50 more 

 applications for milk than he could fill. He had been selling 

 milk at 9 cents a quart, and he has now put the price up to 

 10. Doesn't that kind of thing help a man ? He says he 

 doesn't care about the money value of the prize ; that is only 

 incidental, to what he is going to get out of his dairy because 

 he won the prize. 



I want to add also in regard to Peter Kronvall that he 

 did absolutely nothing, — of course they can't all say this, — 

 but he did absolutely nothing but what he does every day, 

 except that in this instance the wife did the milking, which 

 is done usually by herself and son.
