PEOPLE'S PURE MILK COMPANY. 
The sales committee have great con¬ 
fidence in the men who are behind the 
Peoples Pure Milk Company. John C. 
Kelly, President of the National Meter 
Co., is the first vice-president and treas¬ 
urer of the company, and is the capital¬ 
ist whom we first interested in the mat¬ 
ter. He is everywhere spoken of with 
the highest respect, is of great business 
ability, of undoubted responsibility and 
is quoted very high by the commercial 
agencies. He has associated with him 
men of character and large means. In 
addition, however, to the character and 
responsibility of the men wKo are form¬ 
ing and controlling the Company, we 
have an agreement by which the pro¬ 
ducers whom we represented in our con¬ 
tract of May 14 are given a far greater 
security than was ever before obtained. 
In the contract which I refer to it is 
provided that "all money received from 
the sale of milk shipped by the said 
milk producers shall be set apart by it¬ 
self and made a special fund and de¬ 
posited in some safe bank or depository 
for the sole purpose of paying said milk 
producers for their milk according to 
the contract heretofore referred to, bear¬ 
ing date May 14, 1903, provided, however, 
that all surplus money remaining of any 
one month’s receipts after paying all 
sums due the producers, may be turned 
into the general fund of the People’s 
Pure Milk Company.” This makes this 
money a trust fund and gives the pro¬ 
ducers represented by us in our contract 
of sale, the first lien upon it. The com¬ 
mittee have devoted a great deal of time 
to this matter as members of the farmers 
own organization, and we believe we 
have secured the best arrangement ever 
made to protect their interest, and se¬ 
cured renumerative prices for their milk. 
Heretofore they have shipped to dealers 
without knowing from month to month 
the price they would receive, without 
any security and without even making, 
in many cases, inquiry or knowing any¬ 
thing about the financial standing or 
character of the men to whom they 
shipped. All these questions, as repre¬ 
sentatives of the farmers, we have care¬ 
fully considered, and to the best of our 
ability have protected their interests. 
I do not believe that any man takes as 
great a risk in shipping t» the People’s 
Pure Milk Company, even if we did not 
have the provision quoted above, as to 
the ordinary dealers, but with the safe¬ 
guards we have thrown around them 
they are certainly better protected than 
ever before. With united action we can 
now control the milk trade. It is for 
the farmers to say whether they will 
stand together or not. The responses 
that are coming to me are, with very 
few exceptions, if any, entirely favor¬ 
able, and we have several thousand al¬ 
ready enrolled representing a large per 
cent of milk shipped to New York.

Randolph Apples.- I see a notice in your 
issue of August 22, of the Randolph 
Apple. I got six of that kind about 18 
years since under the name of unknown, 
from Randolph Peters and in the 18 years 
they have borne two bushels. They are no 
good here. w. p. f.

Time to Eat 
finds your stock ready to eat if 
you feed them the genuine 
Alma Dried-Molasses 
BEET PULP 
It is not refuse matter but is a by¬ 
product food of greatest value, made 
with the same cleanliness and accu¬ 
racy as the sugar itself. 
We have a booklet telling how this food 
is made. Ask for one; it will interest you. 
It is superior to the many pat¬ 
ented “stock foods” as it is a natural 
product and contains no drugs or 
dangerous ingredients. 
Better than bran and costs less. 
Keeps the animals in prime condition 
and when fed with grain is the best 
fattener known because it improves 
both appetite and digestion. 
E. C. Cummings, Carson City, Mich., writes: 
“Send !i tons first freight. Am feeding 35 steers 
to top the market. This is my 6th order.” 
It is the best food for milch cows ; splendid 
for calves. All stock thrive on it. 
Do not confuse this with wet beet pulp which 
freezes and ferments, or with common dried 
pulp containing no additional sugar. It takes 
16 tons of wet pulp to make one ton of our 
Food, and it keeps indefinitely. The genuine 
Alma Dried-Molasses Beet Pulp contains 7ii

THE NEW YORK STATE FAIR 
Boxed Apples for Export.— Geo. A. 
Cochrane, of Boston, advises shipping 
apples to Europe in half-barrel boxes. He 
says: “This box is somewhat similar to the 
orange case. It can be made of any kind 
of wood. The ends and middle piece of the 
box should be made of three-quarter inch 
wood, to be 12% inches long and wide. The 
pieces forming the sides, top and bottom, 
should be made of three-elght-inch wood, 
and to consist of two or three pieces for 
each side, bottom and top, and in nailing 
the box together these pieces should be 
left one-quarter inch apart for ventilation. 
Any greater distance would permit the 
fruit to fall into the open space, thereby 
cutting it. The two pieces forming the 
ends should be planed on one side so as 
to mark on them. These end and middle 
pieces can be made of two pieces but they 
must be put together with dowel pins and 
glued. The rest of the box can be made 
of fine sawed lumber, and In nailing up, 
two-inch wire nails should be used. In 
putting the box together the two pieces of 
wood forming the ends should have the 
grain of the wood the same way, but the 
middle piece should have the grain In the 
opposite direction to that of the two ends. 
This makes the box much stronger and less 
liable to break through rough handling. 
The dimensions of the outside of the box 
when put together are 28% Inches long, 13% 
inches wide and 13% inches deep, and 
should be had from 14 to 16 cents. Most 
any sawmill can get these up for growers. 
The English people like a crisp apple. 
Such varieties as Porter and Williams are 
not worth sending, but Duchess. Alexander, 
Gravenstein, Wealthy and Fameuse (Snow) 
are greatly appreciated.” 
It will be the Best and Largest Agricultural Exhibition ever given in the State. 
Xji IS'tocls. TFStcTy I'toi't. 
Some of the large.st and best known herds in the Country have been entered. Large entries have 
also been made in the Sheep and Swine Departments, while in the Poultry Department there is a hig 
increase over last year’s. 
Tlx© Iyr> jploTm oxxt: Z1 Z>±i5IX>1-a:^. 
wdll exceed the unusually large exhibit of last year. You cannot afford to miss this opportunity of 
seeing the different makes of farm implements in operation and find out their good qualities by com¬ 
parison. Many farmers who contemplate purchasing farm machinery have deferred doing .so until 
their visit to the State Fair. 
While the entries In the FARM PRODUCE, DAIRY, FRUIT and FLOWER Departments do not 
close until August 31st, those already received indicate that the exhibit in these departments will be 
much larger and more varied than ever in the history of the Fair, and will prove one of Its most 
instructive features.
