MILK AND CREAM. 
The total daily supply has been 22,628 cans of milk, 
163 cans of condensed milk and 478 cans of cream. 
Beginning January 1, the Milk Exchange price has 
been 1% cents a quart net to the shipper at points 
sublect to a 25-cent freight rate. 
A MILK PRODUCERS’ MEETING. 
One year ago last December a meeting of milk 
producers shipping milk to the New York market 
was called for the purpose of organizing a milk 
producers’ union of some description. About 25 
persons were present, and a set of resolutions 
was adopted. These provided for five districts, 
one to represent the producers along each of the 
five principal transportation lines centering in 
the city. The suggestion was to form an organiza¬ 
tion to be known as the Five-States Milk Pro¬ 
ducers’ Association, at some time in the indefin¬ 
ite future. The committee were to organize local 
associations along their respective lines and 
meet subject to the call of the chairman. Little 
has been heard of it since. 
Last week, however, a meeting was called by 
Mr. L. M. S. Martin, Augusta, N. J., secretary of 
the committee, for the avowed purpose of organ¬ 
izing the milk producers to meet the new milk 
syndicate. Mr. A. G. Loomer, Deposit, N. Y., was 
made chairman,- and H. T. Coon, Little York, 
N. Y., secretary. About 15 to 20 persons were 
present during the sessions. After considerable 
discussion, a committee was appointed to formu¬ 
late a plan of organization. The committee pre¬ 
sented its plan, but after more discussion, it was 
rejected. Another committee was then appoint¬ 
ed for the same purpose, and its plan was adopt¬ 
ed. cThe committee of last year was not changed. 
There is, therefore, no organization yet, only a 
suggestion for one, with a committee of organi¬ 
zation now standing with authority extending 
into the second year. 
A committee consisting of Messrs. E. G. Seely, 
H. T. Coon and L. M. S. Martin was appointed to 
confer with the new milk syndicate. Mr. J. D. 
Gilmor, the organizer of the 'o-called milk 
trust, directed the committee to call on Mr. M. S. 
Wormser, of the Cotton Exchange, as the finan¬ 
cial man of the new concern. Mr. Wormser in¬ 
timated that he proposed to give the consumers 
a better and more uniform quality of milk than 
they had been having. Swill milk, he said, they 
would not have. He said that he was going to be 
real good, and use the farmers real nice, and he 
wanted the farmers to help him distribute good 
milk, and stand by him and he would stand by 
them. In other words, be wanted the farmers to 
sell him all their milk, and not let the independ¬ 
ent dealers who refused to go into the syndicate 
have any. 
Asked what guarantee or contract he would 
give the farmers, who “ stood by him”, that 
he would not reduce the price of milk after 
he had driven the other fellows out, he thought 
there was no need of any agreement, as he pro¬ 
posed to use the farmers real nice—not to make 
millionaires of them the first year—but to give 
them prices with a profit in them. Furthermore, 
his generosity did not stop there, but he. would 
allow farmers to purchase stock in his company. 
As you sit by your warm fire 
on cold winter nights, has it ever 
occurred to you that your horses, 
hens, cows, and other stock may 
be suffering from the cold? 
Don’t you know that your chick¬ 
ens will grow faster, that your hens 
will lay more eggs, your cows re¬ 
quire less grain, and will give more 
milk if kept warm and comfort¬ 
able; that your horses will be more 
active and do more work if pro¬ 
tected from the cold?

He is not yet in possession of any of the milk 
routes, but has his company duly organized, and 
arrangements made with milkmen so that he 
expects to be doing business now in a short time.

got along nicely. In fact, the representative of 
the milk syndicate was so cordial and so heartily 
disposed to use the milkmen real nice, that the 
chairman of the farmers’ committee actually 
apologized for the existence of a milk producers’ 
organization at all. d. 
Paralysis of Hind Legs in a Sow. 
My purebred Berkshire sow has suddenly lost 
the use of her hind parts; she seems to be all 
right in her fore parts, but has been unable to 
get up without help for about two months. She 
eats and drinks well and seems to be in good 
health otherwise. She had a litter of eight pigs 
that were eight weeks old at the time afflicted in 
the same way. u. s. j. 
Ohio. 
Such paralysis may be due to strain or other 
injury to the back or loins; weakness from any 
cause; to being overfed and over fat, or fed too 
exclusively on a diet deficient in protein, the 
muscle-forming constituents; or to lack of exer¬ 
cise from too close confinement in small pens. 
Rub the back and loins with a liniment of two 
parts each aqua ammonia and sweet oil, and one 
part oil of turpentine well shaken together. Re¬ 
peat the application every three or four days 
until the skin is well blistered. Internally, feed 
the sow twice daily 20 grains nux vomica. In¬ 
crease the dose of the nux about five grains daily 
until the sow is receiving 60 grains, or one dram, 
twice daily, and continue for 10 to 14 days, or 
until twitching of the muscles is observed. Then 
reduce the dose or discontinue altogether, as may 
be required. p. l. k. 
The skeleton in 
many a household is 
the peculiar weak¬ 
ness of the wife and 
mother, or of the 
wife who ought to be 
a mother and is not. 
Happiness is de¬ 
stroyed by the pres¬ 
ence of the secret 
sickness that may 
lurk like a grinning 
death among the 
most luxurious 
homes. The most 
terrible thing about 
this condition of af¬ 
fairs is that it is entirely needless. There is 
no reason in the world why every woman 
in the world should not be strong and health¬ 
ful and capable of fulfilling her whole duty 
as a wife and mother. Many women go on 
month after month, and year after year, be¬ 
coming weaker and weaker, because of a 
very natural hesitancy they feel in consult¬ 
ing a physician. They know that if they go 
to a doctor for treatment, the first thing he 
will insist on will be “examination” and 
“ local treatment” This must of course be 
distasteful to every modest woman. They 
are generally as unnecessary as they are ab¬ 
horrent. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription 
cures positively, perfectly, permanently, all 
varieties of “female weakness” and dis¬ 
ease. It is designed to do this one thing, 
and it does it. It is the only medicine now 
before the public for woman’s peculiar ail¬ 
ments, adapted to her delicate organization 
by a regularly graduated physician—an ex¬ 
perienced and skilled specialist in these 
maladies. It cannot do harm in any condi¬ 
tion of the system. Its sales exceed the 
combined sales of all other medicines for 
women. 
Every woman will be healthier and happier for 
following the friendly, practical 
counsel contained in Dr. Pierce's 
great universal doctor book:

Medical Adviser." It is the most 
comprehensive medical work in

guage. It contains 1008 pages,
