THE BOSTON MILK SITUATION. 
The Winter price of milk is now partly 
settled. The Whitings, who control the 
0. Brigham Co., Elm Farm Co. and D. 
Whiting & Sons, have offered the price 
asked by the Farmers’ Association, namely, 
36 cents as the average for the six months, 
but this will be graded and a higher price 
paid for the first three months than the 
later thr.e. The Hoods, who are the sec¬ 
ond largest buyers, have offered some sec¬ 
tions of their territory the price asked ; in 
others they say they will only pay the 
same as they paid for August and Septem¬ 
ber, namely, 34 cents at the car. The 
Graustein Co. has refused to make any 
raise as yet. The Deer Foot Farm Co. 
will pay 37 cents a can with an increase 
of one cent for every 10 points above 3.80 
for high test milk. I understand Aldeu 
Bros, will pay 36 cents for the Winter. 
There has been much holding off by all of 
these companies, but a very determined 
front put up by the farmers, and the threat 
of holding the milk unless a proper price 
was offered in most sections, slowly 
brought these contractors to terms. 
At these prices no profit will be made 
this Winter, as grain is high and will 
ting out some definite information which 
can be used by way of striking the nail 
exactly on the head rather than swinging 
a hammer through the air at random. I 
think that if all criticisms of the system of 
inspection could be analyzed in this way 
the system would be improved, the producers 
would gradually come to like it and would 
be its best defenders and advocates.” 
HEAVY PRODUCING COWS. 
Will you give me the test of four or five 
champion Jersey and Guernsey cows? 
New York. h. d. 
Below are some Guernsey records for 
yearly tests: 
Dolly Dimple, 19144, five years old, 
18,808.5 pounds milk, 876.34 pounds butter 
fat. 
Dairymaid of Pinehurst, 14.562.4 pounds 
milk, 860.26 pounds butter fat. 
Yeksa Sunbeam, 15439, 14,920 pounds 
milk. 837.15 pounds fat. 
Dolly Bloom, 12770. 17.297.51 pounds 
milk, 836.21 pounds butter fat.

prices asked by the farmers from whom 
they buy. Under the Saunders law these 
independent dealers are mostly buying di¬ 
rect from the producers instead of as for¬ 
merly buying from the contractors, and 
this is one of the strong reasons why the 
contractors want this law repealed. There 
is promise of much agitation in the Legis¬ 
lature this Winter to repeal or pass new 
laws in regard to these matters, and the 
outcome is very doubtful, as there are 
many oninions on the subject. The supply 
AUCTION PRICES. 
Cows sell all the way from $25 to $40 
for scrub stock to as high as $65 for grade 
Holsteins. Horses bring more as a rule 
than they would sell for at private sale. 
Hay usually brings about the same as deal¬ 
ers are paying. No silage sold. Chickens 
always sell for more than one could get 
for them in the open market, Leghorns 
selling as high as 75 cents each. Milk is 
mostly. sent to cheese factory or creamery 
of milk as a whole has so far been plenty and will average little better tl an $1 ner 
had enough and in some cases a surplus 
at various times, but the next two months 
will probably use all that is received, and 
no surplus will be likely for this period. 
Fresh cows are and will be in demand for 
the next few weeks at good prices by all 
who can afford to purchase them to keep 
the supply up to normal, as milk dealers 
as the rule will take no more milk through 
the remainder of the year than the aver¬ 
age receipts of October, November and De¬ 
cember. 
James O. Jordan, milk inspector of Bos¬ 
ton Board of Health, in his recent report, 
comments on one thing very important to 
farmers, namely, the milk standard. Un¬ 
der the present standard of 12.15 any ex¬ 
cess of cream above the required amount 
can be, and undoubtedly is, skimmed off 
and sold at a large profit, or skim-milk 
can be mixed with the normal milk when 
milk Is short, or any time for that matter, 
and thus gives the consumer a lower grade 
of milk, and requires less normal milk from 
the producer to supply the market, which 
cuts both ends. If this can be practiced 
under the present law it will be done to a 
60 cents per bushel. Apples bring 75 cents 
'a the home markets. Oats about 50 cents 
er bushel; wheat, around $1; buckwheat, 
1.40 per 100 pounds. L. it. g. 
_ Howard, N. Y. 
Prices as far as I know are about as fol¬ 
lows : Fresh cows, $35 to $50; strippers, 
$20 to $30; hay, $15 to $18; oats, 50 cents 
per bushel; buckwheat, $1.30 per hundred; 
potatoes, 65 cents per bushel. Milk, Sep¬ 
tember 1, $1.21 per hundred (cheese fac¬ 
tory) ; beef, dressed, six cents per pound. 
Woodhull, N. Y. r. e. n. 
Nearly everyone is through digging pota¬ 
toes ; about three-quarter crop; 60 cents 
paid at car. Milk at shipping station $1.40 
per can ; butter 30 to 32 cents per pound. 
Hay crop short and farmers did not sell as 
much as common. Not much demand for 
cows; cheaper than last year at this time. 
Madison Co., N. Y. e. a. 
The prices received here for milk were 
March, $1.30; April, $1.11; May. $1.05; 
June, 97 cents; July, $1.06; August, $1.25; 
September, $1.35; October, $1.60. No 
, . .. , - -- - silage nor manure sold. I do not know 
greater extent if the fat standard is low- the price of hay; that is governed bv the 
PrPll n V flirfhot* AT* QQ I o o/IirAoo Kvr XT.. . x. _ _ 
ered any further, or as Is advocated by 
some, no fat standard be required at all. 
It would seem foolish to do anything to 
reduce the supply needed. Something to 
aid the requirement of an increase would 
be along the right line to work. Too much 
has already been done in the past to scare 
people from buying and using milk freely 
as they should, and care should be taken 
to avoid this as much as possible in the 
future. a. e. p. 
THE MILK INSPECTOR’S SCORE CARD. 
On page 1015, Mr. II. H. Lyon gave a 
comparison of the milk scores made for a 
New York dairy farmer. This is the basis 
upon which milk is rejected or admitted 
for sale in New York.

I will give prices here of as many differ¬ 
ent things as I can. Auctions are very sel¬ 
dom held here at this time of year, so will 
not be able to get any ideas from that 
source. I have yet to hear of silage being 
sold in this vicinity. Potatoes, per bushel, 
60 cents; apples, per 100 pounds, $1 ; but¬ 
ter, per pound, 27 cents; eggs, per dozen, 
26 cents; veal calves, live, per pound, 8% 
cents; hogs, live weight, ppr pound, six 
cents; young pigs, apiece, $2; manure, 
mixed, per load, $1; milk, per 100, $1.50.

( Here are 25 Rations—tried and proved to be 
More Milk” producers, better than rations that had 
. been previously used. Some are in use in the East, some 
m the West, some in the South, but in general they will be 
found adapted to any district, and more economical than any ration 
that does not include Dried Beet Pulp. 
Two, three, four years ago, the dairymen who are now feeding these 
rations did not use a pound of Dried Beet Pulp. 
These men are getting from 3 to 5 pounds more of milk per cow a 
day than they were ever able to get before they fed Dried Beet Pulp, 
and at less cost. 
And that is not all. 
Their herds are in a healthier condition than ever before. They have 
less need for the services of a veterinarian. Dried Beet Pulp keeps 
the digestive organs of a cow in perfect condition. ' 
One veterinarian in New York told us: “When I am called on a 
case, the first thing I ask is whether Dried Beet Pulp is fed. If it 
is, I know that the trouble is not indigestion.” 
Compare these Rations with the Ration you are now feeding. They are 
for cows weighing about 1000 lbs. and giving 20 to 25 lbs. of milk a 
day. Notice especially how Dried Beet Pulp can save high priced hay.

Out out these rations and 
tack them up in your barn 
for further reference. 
The foregoing rations will show you how to prepare a Dried Beet 
Pulp ration. Now go to your dealer and get a 100 lb. sack for trial 
under this guaranty: 
We guarantee that any sack of our Dried Beet Pulp bought 
for trial, either direct from us or through a dealer, zvill prove 
satisfactory to the buyer or zve will refund the purchase price. 
Larger quantities can be bought with the privilege of trying one 
sack, and if found unsatisfactory, the entire purchase price will be 
refunded if the unused portion is shipped in accordance with 
instructions to be received from us. 
This will give you enough for a three weeks’ feeding for one cow. 
Use Dried Beet Pulp your own way—the way you think it will work 
out to the best advantage for you. 
When you have used up the sack, if you have not been getting more 
milk from the same amount of feed than you did before, go to your 
dealer, tell him the result of your test, and get back your money. 
If you want our help or any suggestions from us, write us. We 
will be glad to answer your questions and will send you our helpful 
book, ‘ How to Feed Dried Beet Pulp.” It tells you all about 
compounding rations.
