Mr. Sagendorph. If their milk sells for 15 cents a glass, 

 that ought to ])C enough. 



Mr. Da^vley. The price it generally brings is 15 cents ; 

 of course the restaurants get a little more selling it by the 

 glass. 



Mr. Sagendorph. And butter GO cents a pound? 



Mr. Da^\t,ey. I presume youv figures are correct. Briar- 

 cliff is one of the best-conducted farms owned by a wealthy 

 man in the United States to-day, and I presume, too, comes 

 about as close to paying as any one of the farms of this type. 

 Mr. Law has handled it in such a way and advertised it in 

 such shape that I presume he is getting a profit. 



Mr. Sagendorph. He says he doesn't care whether it 

 pays or not ; he is trying to do something for humanity. 



JVIr. Dawley. Unfortunatel}^, most of us are situated so 

 we cannot allow our philanthropic motives to run away with 

 us ; but I have been talking, not to encourage wealthy men 

 to go into farming, but to encourage the man who is produc- 

 ing milk to make a living from, to make a better milk, a 

 cleaner milk ; and if I can induce any man to go into the 

 production of a sanitary milk so he can produce it and make 

 money on it, I think my mission is filled. 



Mr. Sagendorph. Wasn't Mr. Law's idea to make the 

 most sanitary milk that can be made ? 



Mr. Dawley. Yes ; but I think Mr. Stewart will run as 

 low in count, day in and out, and he hasn't spent nearly so 

 much money as Mr. Law has ; he hasn't it to spend. 



Ml'. Sagendorph. No ; I notice an improvement in Mr. 

 Law's farm every time I go there. He doesn't seem to care 

 whether it pays or not ; that is the point. 



IVIr. Dawley. Yes, that is the point. Since we have 

 spoken of that sort of farm, Mr. J. P. Morgan has the finest 

 appointed cattle barn that I ever visited. Every known ap- 

 pliance has been put in to make it a perfect plant. I will 

 guarantee the milk there has cost him so much that it would 

 have to be sold at champagne prices to show a profit. Of 

 course those things are nice, I believe in them ; and I have 

 even gone to the expense of taking men working in our New 

 York State institutes over to Mr. Law's, also to Gedney
