FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION 75 



1. Baby Milk. Under conditions of our civilization we 

 have a great number of babies constantly with us whose lives 

 depend upon the supply of pure, wholesome milk, and we are 

 anxious to get a carefully guarded, fresh, cooled, satisfactory 

 kind of milk for them and for that milk we are willing to pay 

 an extra price, and there is a demand of what we might term 

 *'baby" milk. The demand would probably never exceed lo per 

 cent of the total market demand, but with a good price for it, it 

 would be profitable for some dairymen to produce a very fine 

 line of goods. 



2. Table Milk. There is also a big market for table milk, 

 perfectly safe, satisfactory, clean drinking milk that's not quite 

 so fresh and has not been kept quite so cold, but still a thorough- 

 ly satisfactory milk. This should be the regular staple grade 

 of milk. 



3. Cooking Milk. The third grade of milk you can call 

 cooking milk, if you wish to call it that. We will understand 

 that if it was boiled it would be safe. 



Whenever such a plan of grading milk is successfully 

 worked out and adopted the law of supply and demand will de- 

 termine how much of each grade will be actually produced. The 

 milk of the State of New York is being sold in grades some- 

 what similar to this. The time is not far off when we will get 

 down to a more businesslike method of buying and selling our 

 milk and one of the first steps in this improvement will be to 

 have milk bought and sold on the basis of grades. It will be 

 important for the success of this undertaking that these grades 

 shall actually present tangible differences in the quality of the 

 milk." (Applause). 



Moving pictures of the Dairy Train were shown, at the 

 close of which the meeting was adjourned until January 31st.
