“Selecting  and 
Developing  the 
Jersey  Herd” 
Is  a  booklet  by  Prof.  Hugh  G.Van 
Pelt  It  tells  how  you  can  build 
a  well-developed,  money-making 
Jersey  herd  by  proper  selection 
and  judicious  breeding.  The 
future  of  your  dairy  herd  de¬ 
pends  upon  how  you  select  your 
foundation  animals  and  how  they 
and  their  offspring  are  developed. 
The  Jersey  cow  combines  beauty  with 
dairy  conformation.  Healthy,vigorous 
and  profit -producing,  she  lifts  the 
mortgages  and  increases  bank  ac* 
counts.  Send  for  book  today.

main  source  of  the  milk  supply  of  the  bit? 
city,  and  the  variation  of  a  cent  on  a 
quart  means  the  difference  between  profit 
and  loss  in  the  dairies.  We  watched  with 
interest  the  auction  system,  as  applied  to 
apples,  and  learn  with  satisfaction  of  its 
success.  We  believe  that  some  similar 
system  applied  to  the  milk  business  would 
work  to  the  advantage  of  the  dairyman, 
provided  the  man  at  this  end  of  the  line 
is  sufficiently  enlightened  to  take  full 
advantage. 
We  are  still  a  little  apprehensive,  how¬ 
ever.  as  to  the  fate  of  the  1  >Qoartment  of

son  County,  which  has  declared  a  divi¬ 
dend  of  12  per  cent,  for  1015.  besides  an 
extra  dividend  of  3  per  cent.  Why? 
Well,  they  make  good  butter  and  cheese 
at  Lorraine;  but  perhaps  no  better  than 
at  many  another  creamery.  The  reason 
mainly  is  Ora  W.  Tucker,  the  sales  agent.

best  advised  men  in  this  section  have  little 
hesitation  in  pronouncing  it  sound.  There 
is  no  doubt  that  the  milk  price  question 
will  be  greatly  bettered  as  soon  as  milk 
is  subjected  to  flic  auction  process  and 
the  light  of  publicity  is  turned  on. 
But,  to  be  perfectly  frank,  there  is 
doubt  whether  the  campaign  of  education 
has  been  carried  far  enough  ;  whether  the 
men  who  own  the  dairies  are  sufficiently 
imbued  with  the  idea  of  collective  bar¬ 
gaining  and  have  enough  coherence  to 
hold  together  in  permanent  alliances  of 
sufficient  number  and  strength  to  make 
possible  at  this  time  the  State-supervised 
auction  system  which  did  so*  much  for  the 
apple  growers.  Farmers  learn  slowly. 
The  propaganda  has  to  be  pounded  home. 
There  is  so  much  divergence  and  so  little 
teamwork:  individualism  is  so  rampant 
and  distrust  so  common  that  it  is  hard  to 
organize. 
Yet,  where  organizations  are  complete, 
better  prices  obtain.  That  is  one  present 
source  of  complaint — that  the  milk  com¬ 
panies  pay  several  rates  for  the  same 
sorts  of  milk  at  stations  only  a  few  miles 
apart.  Milk  companies,  you  know,  are 
not  in  business  for  their  health,  but  for 
profit.  It  is  not  to  be  expected  they  will 
pay  more  than  they  have  to.  It.  is  only 
where  organization  or  competition  com¬ 
pels  them  to  do  so  that  they  bid  higher  for 
the  milk  business  for  New  York  City. 
Half  a  dozen  or  more  solid  milk  trains 
make  lip  here  for  the  long  trip  to  the  big 
city.  They  come  from  the  West  and  from 
the  “North  country,”  which  means  the 
section  from  Ftica  to  Ogdetisburg.  Hun¬ 
dreds  of  carloads  of  milk  roll  tit  rough  here 
every  week.  One  milk  car  has  a  capacity 
of  350  milk  cans,  or  13,200  quarts.  Each 
of  the  half  dozen  trains  is  made  up  of  a 
dozen  to  15  cars.  Possibly  two-thirds  of 
the  entire  supply  of  the  city  comes  from 
this  section.  Three  million  quarts  a  day 
is  a  conservative  estimate  of  what  the 
city  requires.  I  have  authentic  figures 
for  August,  1013,  when  rhe  New  York 
Central  railroad  hauled  into  New  York 
473.(571  cans  of  milk,  or  30  per  cent,  of 
the  total  supply.  The  Delaware,  Lacka¬ 
wanna  &  Western  for  the  same  month 
hauled  15.4  per  cent.;  the  Ontario  A 
Western.  14.3  per  cent.  That  was  two 
and  a  half  years  ago.  With  the  increas¬ 
ing  demand  for  food  stuffs,  you  can  im¬ 
agine  the  increase  over  these  figures. 
Now.  what  a  famine  New  York  would 
experience  if,  for  example,  the  New  York 
Central  should  cease  for  24  hours  to 
bring  milk  to  the  city  !  What  a  panic  if 
this  supply  were  cut  off  4S  hours!  You 
can  get  an  idea  of  the  privation  at  bliz¬ 
zard  times  when  trains  get  stalled  in 
drifts.  If  the  milk  raisers  only  knew  it,
