MILK CONDITIONS IN NKW ENGLAND. 
Milk prices in Massachusetts and all New 
England for Boston milk are. on the aver¬ 
age, below that received for the same 
months a year ago. This Winter’s supply 
for the Boston market is also below that 
of last Winter at this time and is likely 
to continue below all the season. High 
grain prices and short supply of fodder 
in general combined with the low price paid, 
is responsible for this. This is the season 
when the larger contractors usually pay a 
higher price for the three first months of 
the Winter season than the later three. 
They are departing from their custom this 
year and in most eases paying a straight 
price for each month of the contract. They 
are also apparently paying different prices 
in different localities for the same grade of 
milk. The farmers in general are inclined 
to take things as they come and are not 
to any extent exerting themselves to increase 
their production. They are not in most 
cases buying fresh cows to the extent that 
they many times do at this season. The 
B. C. II. P. Co. has done good work but 
they have not received all the support they 
should, and are somewhat discouraged. The 
present officers talk of stepping out when 
their term is up in January and let others 
take the job. The situation Is extremely 
critical and will take careful management, 
good judgment and a strong determination 
to fight to the last ditch to secure a 
reasonable compensation for our dairy pro¬ 
ducts in the future. If we hang together, 
work together, and don’t ever give up, we 
win, otherwise the outcome is doubtful. 
The C. Brigham Co. pay for November in 
this locality 30 cents at the car, which 
means In most cases 33 cents net to the 
farmer. The Whitings, who control the 
C. B. Co., the I). Whiting & Sons Co., and 
the Elm Farm Co., are paying in the aeven- 
cent zone in Massachusetts 34 % cents, 
while in the same zone in New Hampshire 
they pay 35% cents. The Hoods are pay¬ 
ing less than this h.v one or two cents in 
some cfTsos. The Deerfoot Farm Co. pay 
37 to 42 cents, according to quality, at the 
car, or two or three cents less at the 
farmer’s door. Alden Bros, pay 33 cents 
at the farm. The peddlers who buy their 
milk within 20 miles of the city pay various 
prices, from 88 to 40 cents a can. In 
many cases these peddlers come to the 
farm after the milk and so the farmer re¬ 
ceives this price at the farm : in other cases 
the farmer has to cart the milk a few 
miles, usually not over three at the most. 
For milk which they buy further back and 
' which is shipped on the cars, they pay 38 
to 42 cents delivered at the car. At 
present they are not getting as much as 
they wish and are urging the fanners to 
buy more cows. The Hoods recently lost 
1.000 cans of milk in New Hampshire' and 
Vermont by refusing to pay the farmers’ 
price. The C. Brigham Co. have lost sev¬ 
eral hundred cans in the late past for the 
same reason, nnd an 1 informing their dairies 
that they must keep up their supply at this 
time as the company will not take any 
larger nmount later in the season than the 
average received now from each dairy. Tn 
fact nil parties Interested in Boston milk 
are somewhat on edge as to what the out¬ 
come of the whole business will be. 
The Interstate Commerce Commission is 
now In session at Washington considering 
the transportation side of the question, 
chiefly In regard to charges on out-of-the- 
Rtate milk which at present time is coming 
in at a cheaper rate than Massachusetts 
re'lk. because the can rate is the rule in 
Massachusetts nnd the car rate goes for 
outside the State at this time. State leg¬ 
islation is expected on some of these ques¬ 
tions when the Legislature meets and the 
question is, will what is to he done in this 
line benefit the farmer on put more burdens 
on his back? If the latter result is 
brought, about it will in the end cost the 
consumer more for his milk because it is 
certain to cut the supply more or less, and 
when the seller finds this out ho is sure 
to take all the advantage from the situa¬ 
tion he is able to get. a. e. p. 
Jefferson County, N Y., Cheese. 
With an output of 203.132 boxes of cheese, 
valued at $1,469,794, the Watertown Pro¬ 
duce Exchange celebrated the close of the 
season of 1911 with its sixteenth annual 
banquet, Friday evening, November 10. The 
average price for the season was 12 cents, 
ns against 14 cents one year ago. The 
total transactions for 1910 were 190.415 
boxes, valued at $1,588,001. The lowest 
n''ice paid during the season of 1911 was 
9% cents nnd the highest. 14% cents. The 
market ruled steady throughout the sea 
son with a gradual upward tendency. Quo 
tntlons did not go below 11 cents after 
June 10. The average wrrjr.y output was 
7.523 boxes, with an average value of about 
*55,000. The season extended from May 
0 to November 10. the largest day’s sale's 
being 11,321 -boxes on June 17. One year 
ago 15% cents was the highest quotation 
reached, while prices did not go below 
12% cents. The lower average price this 
season was partlv offset by a larger pro¬ 
duction, so that the aggregate value of the 
output was not much below that of 1910. 
The high prices ruling for dairy products 
during the past few years have encouraged 
d"irymen to make many improvements to 
their plants, and more modern dairy barns 
nnd silos have been erected in northern 
New York during the past three years than 
In any like preceding period. With prices 
on cheese closing nt the highest point of 
the season dairymen are looking 
to a prosperous year in 1912,

The milk problem seems to be trouble- 
seme all over the world. In France the 
situation has become almost unendurable. 
The long drought destroyed pastures and 
fodder crops and disease has killed many 
cattle. Consul T. If. Mason says: “Paris 
consumes dally under normal conditions 
about 1,100.000 liters (1,102.308 quarts) of 
milk, but the present supply is 200.000 
liters (211.330 quarts) short of that 
amount, nnd a united effort Is being made 
hv the wholesale dealers and the railways 
to draw the dally supply from a greatly 
Increased area of country Milk is now 
being brought from points as remote as the 
Department of Cbarente. a distance of al¬ 
most 300 miles. At certain dairy stores in 
Baris the supply is so limited that only a 
liter (a little more than a quart) is sold 
for each child or invalid in families which 
include young children or aged persons for 
whom milk is necessary as a daily food.” 
Close Quarters for Cows. 
Living in the city limits with five acres 
of land, two acres seeded down to Alfalfa 
and the other part planted with corn and 
mangels, with silo prepared into which to 
put the corn stover, is it considered prac¬ 
tical to keep a number of milking cows 
and stall-feed same the year round, and 
how many could be kept, provided enough 
grain and oil meal was purchased to make 
a good balanced ration? e. k. h. 
Ilinols. 
No one could answer such a question 
without more details. Cows can be kept in 
that way with a box stall and a small 
yard to run in, hut it is not the best way. 
As to the number—it depends on how much 
you can grow to the acre. Alfalfa runs 
from two tons to six tons per acre, and 
silage corn from five to 40 tons. We 
should figure on six tons of silage and two 
tons or more of Alfalfa hay per year for 
each cow.
