There is no milk sold here; a few small 
dairies close to our town supply milk for 
the people in town, no shipping done, as 
this is not a dairy country. The north¬ 
western part of Ohio is mostly corn.

No milk is sold in this part of the coun¬ 
try ; either the cream or butter is sold in¬ 
stead. Cream is 25 cents and butter 20 
cents per pound at the present time. Wheat 
is 82 cents, corn 34, and oats 25 per bush¬ 
el. The growing wheat is all right so far 
this Winter; is covered with snow.

We have a hand separator, and we sep¬ 
arate our milk and sell the cream to the 
Farmers’ Union. They send out a wagon 
twice a week. It sold at 25 cents a pound. 
Grain oats from 35 to 40 cents; wheat 
80 to 85 cents; corn 40 cents. Alfalfa 
hay $10 per ton ; hay $8. A. r. 
Cawker City, Kan. 
Milk at wholesale is about 15 cents per 
gallon, retailing at six cents per quart. 
The greater part of milk is sold by dairy¬ 
men. There is one milk company in Ham¬ 
ilton that takes in about 1,200 gallons 
daily, condensing a part of it, remainder 
retailed. There are a few retailers who 
buy from the farmers, but this is a small 
part of the business. In the whole bus¬ 
iness the rules of sanitation are not given 
much attention. There are a great many 
chickens raised, and sold mostly in Ham¬ 
ilton, Cincinnati and nearby towns, but 
few turkeys. a. m. f.

In our vicinity there are a great many 
boarding houses for Summer boarders, and 
a great many of the farmers sell their milk 
to them in the Summer and get from Jive 
to six cents a quart. Some churn all in 
butter, which always brings a good price. 
In the Winter those that do not churn take 
what little milk they get to creamery. If 
any is sold direct to neighbors or consum¬ 
ers in general it is sold for five cents a 
quart. Poultry is sold to the Summer 
boarding houses or to the butchers, and, of 
course, the price is up and down; in the 
Summer poultry and eggs bring a good 
price and eggs just now are selling at 40 
cents a dozen; poultry is about 15 cents 
a pound. G. w.

The milk in this locality mostly goes to 
the creamery where it is skimmed, made 
into butter, and the skim-milk returned. 
It is hauled there by regular milk haulers 
who get 10 cents per 100 pounds of milk. 
We are paid according to butter fat test, 
governed by the Elgin market. For the 
month of November I received 32 cents 
per pound or $1.28 per 100 for four per 
cent milk, my milk testing 4.20. A few 
farmers living near the railroad ship to 
Chicago and get more, but as they nave 
no skim-milk and keep no hogs, I think at 
the price hogs have been the last year or 
more we stand just as good a show as they 
do. There is no feed for sale here; nearly 
all are short, and I have been wondering 
what some of us will do before grass grows 
again. Is there not some one in the corn 
belt who could sell us baled shredded corn 
fodder at a right price? J. C. 
Kansasville, Wis. 
Here milk at present retails at 6% 
cents per quart. Dairymen charge this 
price, farmers also where they retail it. 
The retailers who buy milk I think pay 
at the rate of 20 cents per gallon. Grain 
from producer to consumer in our small 
towns is handled on a margin of 10 cents 
per bushel; potatoes the same; apples at 
present prices around 25 cents margin per 
bushel. Hay, baled at $2 or $3 per ton 
margin. We of the smaller settlements 
fare much better in regard to what is 
called middlemen’s profits than do the 
population of larger cities. The margins 
that I have quoted you do not seem un¬ 
just, neither producer nor consumer could 
'"‘kick” on these margins of profit. As we 
view it the producer gets his products to 
the cities cheaply enough, but once there 
the prices are manipulated to the detri¬ 
ment of the consumer (where the popu¬ 
lation is dense). It remains for the cities 
themselves to remedy these defects of so 
large margins of profits. M. H. 
Nauvoo, Ill. 
Most milk pi-oduced here is shipped to 
Philadelphia by the McEwen Milk Com¬ 
pany, who started a ci‘eamery here about 
one year ago. This has some advantages 
over the old way of individual shipment. 
The creamery gives about Philadelphia 
prices, 4% cents, less freight, which is 
one-half cent per quai-t. They furnish 
the cans, thereby a saving of about $20 to 
every farmer per year. All cans used be¬ 
tween farm and creamei’y are washed at 
creamery. No short cans to pay full 
freight for, no lost milk in transit, no 
investment in milk tickets which pay no 
dividends, no expense of ice; time of de¬ 
livery 1 % hour later mornings. This is 
a good thing when roads are bad, especi¬ 
ally when blocked by snow. The railroad 
service is Union Transportation Company, 
lessee of a branch of Pennsylvania Rail- 
ro «^, x ^ e i r management instructed the 
milk train crew if farmers did not help 
load milk on train to leave it, which was 
done on some shipments which were to 
go to seashore points. This matter was 
carried before the State Railroad Commis¬ 
sion, and was decided in favor of farmers; 
the company was compelled to load all 
freight which was properly tagged

Dairymen 
Milk is sold here direct from dairymen 
to consumer at eight cents per quart, bot¬ 
tled. Hotels are allowed a wholesale rate 
of six cents per quart. There are no cheese 
factories or creameries in this county. 
Poultry prices are high, and fresh eggs 
are scarce at 45 to 50 cents per dozen. 
Storage eggs 30 cents. i. c. s. 
Franklin, Pa. 
The local milk market is supplied direct 
from the producer; prices are five cents 
in Summer to six in Winter. The farmers 
use hand separators and sell the cream to 
creamery companies who have agents at 
each town; prices range from 24 cents to 
30 cents, according to whether they have 
competition. j. l.

The Quaker Oats Co. 
Chicago, Ill. 
Gentlemen:—During the past 
few months I have been feeding 
my dairy a ration composed of 
equal parts of Gluten Feed and 
Distillers Grain. About two 
weeks ago I left out the Distillers 
Grain and began using Schu¬ 
macher Feed in its place and feed¬ 
ing just the same amount. In two 
days my dairy has gained thirty 
pounds of milk per day. 
At present I am getting as 
much as 425 pounds of milk per 
day from fourteen cows. Thirteen 
of these cows have been milked 
since last March and April. 
Themostimportantpoint to be considered 
in this test is the fact that, whileSchumach- 
er’s cost me $6.00 per ton less than the Distilleis 
Grain, my cows actually gained in milk produc¬ 
tion by feeding it, and at a time when, as every 
dairyman knows, it is the tendency for cows that 
have been milked continuously, as long as these 
have, to shrink. 
Yours very truly, 
J. E. Murray, Freedom, N. Y. 
The Quaker Oats Co. 
Chicago, Ill. 
Gentlemen:—Schumacher Feed 
has been a large factor in the ra¬ 
tion we feed our herd for the past 
two years. We feed one-half Schu¬ 
macher and one-half Gluten Feed. 
This summer our feed dealer was out 
of Schumacher and we bought one ton of 
bran to take its place. After feeding this a 
few days we saw our cows were shrinking. A 
car of Schumacher arrived after we had fed 
1,600 pounds of bran. We changed directly to 
Schumacher and in three days our cows gained a 
ten-gallon can of milk. During one week of last 
June we milked 1,600 pounds of milk a day from 
forty cows, which you will note is an average of 
forty pounds to the cow. This was done on a ration 
of Schumacher Feed and Gluten. The strong argu¬ 
ment in favor of Schumacher Feed is that it keeps 
our cows in good flesh while they are producing milk. 
Every cow we have sold during the past year has gone 
directly to the slaughter house and she has been sold 
after producing a large flow of milk all the season. We 
consider it a hard proposition to make milk the year 
around as we do, without Schumacher Feed. 
Yours very truly, 
C. Haskell & Son, Sandusky, N. Y. 
Did You Read Our “Message to Dairymen” 
in our previous advertisement in this paper? It is a money saver of unusual value. We told the dairy¬ 
men and farmers of this county how they could save $5 to $8 a ton on their feed by following a simple 
feeding plan we have recently discovered. The letters above tell their own story. 
Here is the Plan— Will You Try It Now ? 
You, no doubt, are feeding high protein concentrates such as gluten, cotton seed meal, malt sprouts, 
oil meal. Blue Ribbon Dairy Feed and other similar high protein feeds, etc. If you will combine 
SCHUMACHER FEED with any of these in half to two-thirds the ration, you will not only save $5.00 
to $8.00 per ton on your feed, but get far better results in both milk and “condition” of your cows 
You know the prices for milk were never higher, making it especially desirable to get the fullest returns 
from your cows right now. Again, the present favorable prices of coarse grains making it possible to sell 
Schumacher Feed 
^at or below the price of bran is another good reason why you should try this new feeding plan which saves 
you money on feed cost But there are still many other advantages. Schumacher Feed which is 
composed of a variety of grain by-products such as corn, oats, wheat and barley, blended 
scientifically, ground and kiln-dried, furnishes just the nutrients your cows require to give 
them strength and vitality with which to Btand long milking periods. It is also a tissue 
builder as well as a milk maker and will put your cows in healthy, sleek condition, 
ready for the butcher when dry. It is without doubt the finest feed on the market 
today. Ask your dealer for Schumacher. If he can’t supply you, write us.
