Correspondence Over a Milk Score. 
Mr. H. G. Phillips of Oneida Co., N. Y., 
wrote us some weeks ago that his milk was 
rejected by the New York Board of Health. 
He had, as he supposed, complied with the 
requirements of the inspector, but still the 
milk was rejected. He wrote the Board, 
but they took no notice of his letter. We 
therefore wrote the Board and asked them 
to be good enough to tell Mr. Phillips what 
the matter is. Within a few days he re¬ 
ceived the following: 
Letter from the Board. 
“Dear Sir—I beg to acknowledge receipt 
of your letter of August 22, 1911, concern¬ 
ing your dairy premises at Greenway, N. Y r ., 
and would inform you the operators of the 
Greenway Creamery have not up to this 
date been notified that milk from this dairy 
may be accepted for shipment to this city. 
“Attention is called to a recent inspec¬ 
tion of your premises, at which time it was 
reported that the stable was not completely 
whitewashed, and that all manure had not 
been removed from the .premises. 
“It is recommended by the inspector that 
as soon as this work has been accomplished 
a reinspection be made and at which time 
the matter of resuming milk from your 
dairy will be considered. Respectfully, 
“M. m’mellan, m. d.” 
Mr. Phillips makes the following com¬ 
ments : 
“Now, the inspector to whom this letter 
refers told me that he had no authority to 
reject or accept any milk ; his business was 
to score the premises, and send i i the card 
report, and the score determined whether 
the milk would be accepted or rejected. 
This is contradicting the letter, as you will 
notice in the last clause. My stable at this 
time scored 58 per cent., and he (Mr. D. B. 
Ryan) said nothing about ‘completely’ 
whitewashing. On September 7 A. H. Mis- 
sekline made a visit and gave me a score of 
52 per cent., conditions being the same as 
when Inspector Ryan was here, ne (Mis- 
seldine) told me that as soon as I drew out 
the manure and cleaned the two windows 
he wouio aeceDt :ny milk at once. The 
opinion ot ths. .w inspectors varies some¬ 
what as tr woo an I what accepts or rejects 
milk, ji\ eeotaa-V 16, 1911, A. II. Missel- 
dine scored ir* per cent., with about 100 
loads ji manure in my barnyard, having 
accumulated, tnere through my being se¬ 
verely injured in early Winter. Now I have 
whitewashed the sides of my stable, the 
manure pile consists of about 2500 pounds, 
and 1 still score 52 per cent., and my milk 
is not fit to chip to New York. On Febru¬ 
ary 16 the milking pai! complied with the 
nnes, that is, the opening did not exceed 
eight inches in diameter; on September 7 
the same pail was scored out because the 
opening was 12 inches in diameter. I don’t 
know how this came about, unless it was 
from this pail standing in the sun during 
the hot wave. Why don't I draw out this 
manure so as to have my milk accepted 
again? Well, I was told if I whitewashed 
(which I did according to the inspector's 
suggestions) my milk would be taken back. 
Now if I will draw this manure and clean 
the windows, then—what? The foreman of 
the milk station told me that my milk was 
O. K , both in condition and quality, and I 
am satisfied with his score. I am out, and 
1 will stand out to the end. I am the only 
one here to stand out, but I would rather 
be the first than the last. Give me the 
right price and the score will take care of 
Itself. H. G. PHILLIPS/'’ 
This is a dairy section ; most of the farm¬ 
ers are improving their herds by the use of ! 
purebred sires. Ayrshires are in the lead; 
some prefer the Holstein. Some of the 
milk is delivered to the station for ship¬ 
ment to New York; most of it is taken to 
the factory and made into butter or cheese. 
The patrons of the cheese factory get bet¬ 
ter prices for their milk in Summer months 
than the station pays. The station gives 
a very attractive price for December, Janu¬ 
ary and February, when they want the 
milk, but I believe they will have to pay 
better prices or go out of business. The 
apple crop is short; there are not any large 
orchards here, and no apples are shipped 
from here. Potatoes a light crop, and sell¬ 
ing at $1.50 in nearby villages. Hay a 
fine crop and selling at $16.50 per ton at 
cars. All kinds of grain good; corn bad¬ 
ly damaged by frost September 14. We 
all were ready to fill our silos the next 
morning, but will have to wait for our 
turn. The cutter starts at one end of the 
"cute and the gang goes right along. We 
lange work and get better acquainted each | 
rear. D . j. a •

We received for our milk at Otselic Cen¬ 
ter factory for the month of May, 80 cents 
per 100 pounds; .Tune 90 cents per 100, 
July .964 per 100 pounds, August $1,085 
per 100, and had whey back free. Our 
milk at this factory has tested very poor 
this Summer and so got a light yield of 
butter and cheese. Many farmers are dis¬ 
couraged with dairying and some talk of 
selling their dairies, but I do not know 
of many that have sold yet. I think there 
will be nearly as. many cows as usual 
wintered in this section. The hay crop was 
an average one or better in this section, 
while in places less than 10 miles away 
it was very light. Silage corn was a very 
good crop, but much of it got frozen hard 
September 13, which must have hurt it 
some. Potato crop below the average. 
Plenty of apples for home use. w. c. d.

Amatite Roofing, however, needs
