MILK SITUATION IN MASSACHUSETTS. 
Inspection of milk in Massachusetts 
seems to be the leading topic on the milk 
question just now, and ideas vary greatly 
on the subject Myron K. Pierce, counsel 
for tie* Milk Consumers' league of Boston, 
is putting np a fight to get the Ellis bill 
passed in some form or other even after it 
lias been turned down by the General Court 
by a good majority. The Consumers’ League 
is reported to be using money and influence 
to got something favorable along this line 
in some sort of a bill passed before this 
session doses, hut we think there is not 
much chance before next Winter. Contrac¬ 
tor Graustein hit the nail on the head 
when he made the following remarks at 
the recent hearing held in Boston by the 
8. C. M. I*. Co.: “Lots of this talk and 
agitation does no good and much harm, and 
is always brought about by those who are 
really the least interested, with the mis¬ 
taken idea of helping matters that arc 
some one’s else business. Mr. Ellis sent 
me a revised copy of his milk bill the 
other day, and while the bill reads all 
right if a reasonable board were executing 
the regulations of this hill strictly along 
the line of its apparent present moaning, 
and v.e think matters in most cases would 
be all right under it, yet as I understand 
it gives power to the milk board to go as 
far ns they like beyond its present reading, 
which would be very dangerous under a 
board which was not in sympathy with or 
was slightly prejudiced against the pro¬ 
ducers. I agree with Mr. Kills in so much 
that the consumer should be safeguarded 
and educated to tile value of good milk, 
and urged to consume larger quantities in 
various ways in the raw state and in foods. 
1 still believe the surest way for the public 
to secure a good safe product is to pay ac¬ 
cording to quality and cleanliness, the bet¬ 
ter the milk the better the price. Some 
claim if a premium were paid or the milk 
price was graded according to quality, con¬ 
ditions. etc., the rich or large producer 
■would get all the benefit. I think a way 
could lie found to regulate this and pay 
the small producer a larger premium than 
the large producer wotild receive, which 
he would deserve, because it is harder for 
him to get up to good conditions, and costs 
him more for benefit received than the 
larger producer.” 
At the recent hearing the Hood Co. 
claimed that their actual proiif was one- 
third of one cent per quart for handling 
and delivering retail milk. While this may 
be true yet we believe there is a profit to 
the company in some of the figures of 
costs stated by them in the handling of 
this milk which they did not admit or 
touch upon. We know that one delivery 
leant uses tip several horses each year, 
while if used properly this would not be 
the case. The present average retail price 
■of common milk is nine cents in Boston; 
the farmer receives three an-i a fraction 
during May an<l .lime,. Who is making the 
larger profit, the producer or contractor? 
The Hood Co. have increased the price to 
the farmer 2 2-.'! vents per can for the Sum¬ 
mer season, a tiling they can well afford to 
do above what they formerly offered. 
Some good will come from this hearing, 
and the matter will undoubtedly bo kept 
going and pushed by the B. C. M. F. Co. 
through its directors aud officers to increase 
rite market for milk, and the price to the 
producer until he obtains a fair return for 
this very necessary product, and not sell 
at a loss, as is the case at present with 
many producers, and has been the case too 
much in the past. We must produce a bet¬ 
ter milk product in the future, and we 
must receive enough for It to encourage 
production. Some of the present dairies 
could make a better profit in -butter and 
use of the skim-milk on the farm than 
they are rereiving by soiling to the con¬ 
tractors. I know of a case in New Hamp¬ 
shire where a certain section lias a cream¬ 
ery and is getting better returns for its 
dairy product than we close to Boston are 
receiving for market milk. T will give 
figures and circumstances about this an¬ 
other time. a k p 
fm: Boston Common observes that if 
the supporters of the Ellis Milk bill are 
not yet convinced that they are up against 
an insurmountable difficulty and must radi¬ 
cally change their programme, their valor 
is more admirable than their discretion. 
Tile bill this yea r was relieved of several 
of its most objectionable features, and yet 
failed to get a respectable support on a 
roll call. Still, its career lias demonstrated 
at any rate that there is money in the 
milk business, if only for legislative coun¬ 
sel, the State printers and the postal serv¬ 
ice. 
Legal Quality of Cream. 
Must cream have a certain per cent of 
butter fat to bo sold for cream? Is it sub¬ 
ject to a street inspection the same as 
milk, and is there a line if it does not 
come up to a certain standard? i„ B. 
Waterloo, N. Y. 
.The agricultural law of the State pro¬ 
vides a standard for cream, which shall 
not lie less than 18 per cent of butter fat. 
Tlie law says that the terms “pure cream” 
or ■•unadulterated cream” when used 
singly or together, moan cream taken from 
Pure and unadulterated milk. The term 
“adulterated cream” when used shall mean 
cream containing less than 1 j>er centum 
of milk fat or cream to which any sub¬ 
stance whatsoever has been added. It 
would seem front this that any percentage 
of fat might be marked “adulterated cream” 
and bi' sold legally. I am told that some 
low lesting cream is marked “ice cream 
mixture” and sold if it has no more than 
five per cent of fat. Other names are 
used and any sort of cream sold, is the 
statement of those who ought to know. I 
can sec nothiug in the law that will pro¬ 
hibit such sales. There is a clause in the 
law which provides for a fine of not less 
titan $50 nor more than $100 for the first 
offence, and the secoud doubles the fine. 
Tills fine is for the violation of any of the 
provisions of the chapter, and seems to re¬ 
fer to creant as well as to anything else 
mentioned in the chapter. The real ques¬ 
tion is that it seems to he impossible to 
violate the law if one is really informed 
and tries to keep within the terms of the 
provision. T am no lawyer and I have no 
experience in shipping cream, but the law 
seems to me to be of no value except to 
prevent the sale of cream branded “pure 
cream" and testing below IS per cent of 
fat. h. if. L. 
The prices here range about as follows: 
Good horses, from $100 to $250; milch 
cows. $60 to $110; beef cattle, six cents a 
pound; feeding cattle, from three to four 
cents; fat calves, seven to 7% cents; fat 
hogs. $S to $10. Hay, 28 to $35 per ton ; 
select corn. 88 cents per bushel; elevators 
shipping corn $1.10 per 100; potatoes, $1.50 
per bushel. The above arc wholesale prices 
paid to farmers. g. h. v. 
Alpha, O. 
Butter. 25 cents; eggs, 20 cents per 
dozen; hens, 14 cents per pound; hogs, 
seven cents live, nine cents dressed ; sheep, 
four to five cents per pound; cattle, fat, 
six cents; cows, $30 to $60 per head; 
stock cattle scarce; stock sbeep, $2 to $3 
per head; pigs eight weeks old, $5 to $0 
per pair; horses, from $100 up to $250 per 
head; potatoes, per bushel. $1.50; corn, 90 
cents per bushel ; oats, 60 cents; wheat, 
$1 ; hay, $20 per ton. a. L. s, 
Kimberton, O. 
Farm products, such as apples, potatoes, 
etc., are sold to local buyers at the rail¬ 
road shipping point nearest to where they 
were produced. Shipping cattle are worth 
3% to 4% cents per pound, live weight. 
Hogs are six to seven cents live weight 
and about nine cents dressed weight. Loose 
hay is worth $16 to $18 per ton in the 
barns for a medium grade of Timothy. 
Prices on hay have ruled higher than 
for some time, and as a result this and 
towns adjacent were scrubbed up pretty 
Clean by hay buyers early in the Winter. 
Hungarian grass is coming into promi¬ 
nence quite rapidly, as it is considered 
more valuable for milch cows than hay. 
One of my neighbors expects to sow 40 
acres of Hungarian this Spring. There are 
about 1.000 cows in this town, mostly of 
the Holstein breed ; the greater part of 
the milk from these cows goes to the con¬ 
densed milk factory of the Borden Mfg 
Co. at Newport, seven miles distant from 
this town. The price paid is from $1.65 
to $1.00 per 100 in Winter, and running 
as low as $1.05 in Summer. Grain of all 
kinds is very high "here; wheat bran, $1.65 
per 100; cracked corn. $1.75; brown mid¬ 
dlings, $1.65; cotton-seed meal, $1.80 to 
$1.00. Butter. 25 to 30 cents; eggs, 20 
cents per dozen ; potatoes, $1.20 per bushel.
