THE HURAE NEW-VORKER 
March 20. 
M I JL, 
In effect March 1, 1013, the N. Y. Milk 
Milk Exchange price was reduced 10 cents 
per 40-quart can, now being: B (selected 
raw and pasteurized), $1.81 per 40-quart 
can; C (for cooking and manufacturing), 
$1.71, netting 3% and 3% cents to ship¬ 
pers in the 26-cent zone. 
The zones are fixed by the Interstate 
Commerce Commission as follows: 23 cents 
for the first 40 miles from New York; 26 
cents for the next GO miles; 29 cents for 
the next 90 miles; beyond this, 32 cents. 
The railroads allow a discount for car lots 
of 10,000 quarts of 10 and 12% per cent. 
Milk dealers who fail to wash bottles 
before they are refilled and housewives 
who return bottles unwashed must stand 
punishment under a decision of the Ap¬ 
pellate Division of the Supreme Court, 
February 7, affirming the conviction in 
New York Special Sessions of Fred Fruden- 
berg, driver for a milk company, who had 
unclean milk bottles in his possession. 
Justice Scott, writing the opinion said that 
“the danger to be apprehended from the 
use of unclean receptacles for milk intended 
for human food is so obvious and so well 
known that drastic measures to prevent 
the possibility of such use are reasonable 
and justifiable.” The testimony in the 
case showed that the driver had failed to 
take the bottles to the milk company’s 
sterilizing station because it was out of the 
way. The defence was that the law is 
unconstitutional, but the court holds that 
it is within the police power of the State. 
The New Hampshire Sanitary Milk As¬ 
sociation has been officially launched in 
an important meeting held at New Hamp¬ 
shire College. The expressed object of the 
association is to promote a campaign of 
education for the betterment of the milk 
supply of the State and for the increased 
sales "of high-grade milk. In order to ac¬ 
complish this the association plans to 
adopt wide measures calling the attention 
of consumers and producers, to the value 
of the milk as food, to the proper care 
of milk and to its relation to the public 
health. The association took specific ac¬ 
tion on the question of certified milk. It 
was voted to ask that permission be 
granted by the State Board of Health to 
appoint a committee of association mem¬ 
bers and draw up recommendations for the 
production of inspected and certified milk. 
In connection with this the State Board 
was asked that the president of the as¬ 
sociation may be chairman of the new 
committee. 
The movement toward the formation of 
the association was begun by the delegates 
appointed by the Governor to attend the 
conference recently held in New York on 
the State Control of Milk Supply. Various 
measures looking toward the betterment 
of State milk supply were outlined at the 
conference. The plans adopted by the as¬ 
sociation were in line with these recom¬ 
mendations. After adopting a brief consti¬ 
tution the association elected officers as 
follows: President, Prof. Rasmussen; 
secretary and treasurer, Carl O. Seaman. 
and $13 per ton. The southern end of 
Washington County imports for dairy pur¬ 
poses large quantities of wheat bran, middl¬ 
ings, linseed meal and cotton-seed meal. 
The poultry industry seems to keep pace 
with dairying. There arc many large incu¬ 
bators being installed. Eggs in quantity 
shipped and fat poultry shipped. Eggs are 
now bringing at the stores where they are 
collected and shipped to the city markets, 
20 cents a dozen. Fowls over one year 
old are bringing 12% cents per pound 
alive; less than a year old, 14. Pork, 
dressed, weighing about 200 pounds, $11 
per hundred at the local butchers and 
beef, $8 per hundred. Buckwheat. 65; 
native oats, $40. They are very light, as 
the oat crop in Northeastern New York 
in 1912 was very poor. 
The March price for milk at the Cam¬ 
bridge shipping depot is $1.60 per hun¬ 
dred. It is almost impossible to quote 
auction prices that would be intelligent 
to your readers because the property sold 
at auction usually stands alone in its 
class and without market price. Old 
cows, yearlings, two-year-olds and three- 
year-olds, dry cows and springers and 
horses of all ages from sucking colts to 
25 years old are sold, and they have an 
auction value made by the local demand 
but no real market value because here 
there is no established market for such 
property, and almost every farmer that 
lias an auction sale markets all of his 
marketable product before the auction, 
unless it is seed oats, corn, buckwheat, 
rye or stock hay. c. o. p. 
Cambridge, N. Y. 
Good milch cows bring from $40 to $60, 
according to breed. I have a pui - e Jersey 
that I can get $75 for at any time. Calves, 
11 cents per pound. Butter, 30, retail; 
Eggs, 25; milk, eight cents per quart. 
Potatoes, 60 to 70; corn, $3 per barrel; 
clover hay from $10 to $13 per ton; 
Timothy, from $15 to $18 according to 
grade. Poultry, old hens, 17 to 17% cents 
per pound ; young chickens, 20; turkeys, 
24 to 25. These are strictly rural prices. 
Annapolis Junction, Md. L. H. to. 
There is only the amount of milk pro¬ 
duced here to supply the local demand. 
Milk is selling here in the village for eight 
cents per quart retail, the farmers getting 
from five to six cents wholesale. Fresh 
cows range in price from $60 to $85 accord¬ 
ing to grade. Gardening is followed to a 
very small extent. I have two acres of 
cranberries, one-fourth acre of. raspberries 
and one acre of peaches. Cranberries sell 
here in the local market for about the dif¬ 
ference of freight from city higher here; at 
Thanksgiving time $2.50 per crate, $8 
per barrel. Raspberries sell in local market 
for about eight cents per pint box at stores. 
Sale for all my berries here. Peaches sold 
here the past season for from $1.25 for 
nice stock down to 75 cents retail. My 
crop of peaches was all sold to the trade 
for about 80 cents per 16-quart basket. 
Hay retails here for from $22 to $25 per 
ton delivered loose; good hay by the bale 
a trifle more; poor grades all the way 
down. Potatoes are Selling at present for 
$3 to $3.25 for good stock by the barrel in 
small lots. This is not much of a farming 
country, as so much of the land has been 
bought up for speculative purposes, and for 
several years several hundred acres of good 
farm land have been lying idle and growing 
up to brush and forest trees. E. v. L.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, N.Y. 
Washington County, N. Y., as you know, 
is naturally an excellent grazing and dairy 
section, and it has been evolving for the 
past 10 years from a sheep and potato 
growing county to a milk, butter, cheese 
and poultry producing county. About six 
years ago the Delaware & Hudson R. R. 
placed a milk train to run daily on their 
tracks in Washington, Saratoga and 
Rensselaer counties. It then consisted of 
one car and the engine. They are now 
running two trains, one made up of an 
engine and from nine to 12 milk cars which 
carry milk to your city and the other of 
two cars and an engine which take milk 
to the Boston & Maine Railroad at Eagle 
Bridge, N. Y. About 12 years ago a co¬ 
operative creamery was established in Cam¬ 
bridge and the first year paid out a little 
less than $4,000 to its patrons. During 
the past year the Cambridge Dairy Com¬ 
pany. its successor, paid out to its patrons 
for milk mostly to be shipped to New York 
something over $100,000. The milk station 
is now being operated by Sheffield Farms- 
Slawson-Deckcr-Company. There are a 
half-dozen different silo companies oper¬ 
ating in the county by agents selling 
modern silos and silo equipments. The 
raising of potatoes and the raising of 
sheep for wool and mutton purposes is 
fast giving way to the different dairy in¬ 
dustries. New milch cows are in active de¬ 
mand and bring from $40 to $80 with 
calves at their side, the price ranging ac¬ 
cording to size, condition and blood. Full 
blood nolsteins that are registered have 
sold at auction as high as $300 per cow, 
and whole herds have averaged over $100 
apiece. Shippers of live hogs have been 
paying seven cents per pound at the Cam¬ 
bridge freight depot. There are three regu¬ 
lar purchasers of cows, cattle, veal calves 
and hogs who load and ship in cars to 
their slaughter houses and to New York 
all kinds of cattle which are for sale and 
veal calves and hogs. There are no beef 
cattle that leave our section of the county 
or have left it for several years, that is 
to amount to anything. Veal calves of 
good quality over four weeks old have 
been bringing nine cents per pound at 
railroad for the past three months and 
a few of extra quality, size and condi¬ 
tion have brought 10. 
Fair market potatoes are bringing $1.50 
per barrel of 180 pounds. Giant potatoes 
that are used for seed on Long Island an<J 
in New Jersey of first-class quality are 
bringing $2.15 per barrel of 180 pounds. 
There has been no fruit crop here since 
January 1, 1913, and there are no garden¬ 
ing crops shipped from Cambridge that 
amount to anything except potatoes from 
January 1 in any year until strawberry 
time. Cambridge ships no corn, oats, or 
buckwheat, a little rye and a good many 
tons of pressed hay. A good quality of 
Timothy hay in bales has been bringing 
$17 per ton in carload lots. Rye straw 
loose in bundles has been bringing $12

Is Oleomargarine 
As Good As Butter? 
Because oleomargarine is colored like butter and looks 
like butter and even tastes like butter, is it as good as 
butter? 
The makers CLAIM it is. 
You KNOW it is not. 
Now similar conditions prevail in the separator busi¬ 
ness. 
The DE LAVAL is everywhere recognized by cream¬ 
ery men, prominent dairymen and buttermakers as being 
by far the best cream separator on the market. 
98% of the world’s creamerymen use the DE LAVAL 
separators exclusively. That looks like pretty conclu¬ 
sive evidence that the men who make A BUSINESS of 
the separation of cream and the making of butter, the 
men who know, are not in any doubt as to which is the 
best cream separator. 
The makers of inferior separators acknowledge that 
the DE LAVAL is best when they say to you “Our 
separator looks like the DE LAVAL” or “it’s just as 
good as the DE LAVAL, hut we will sell it to you for 
a little less money.” 
Why do they offer to sell their machines cheaper? 
For the very same reason that the makers of oleomargar¬ 
ine sell their product cheaper than butter—because they 
COST less to MAKE and are WORTH less to use. 
The DE LAVAL has many imitators but no equal. 
There is no substitute for the DE LAVAL any more 
than there can he a substitute for butter. 
If you need a cream separator, why experiment with 
“near” or “just as good” imitations or substitutes? You 
will save yourself time, money and trouble by getting 
the genuine DE LAVAL and taking no chances with 
anything else.
