Milk 
Jobbing Prices at New York. 
Restaurants using two to five cans per 
day are now paying five to 5Vi cents for 
class B, pasteurized milk. 
In this section of the State, or rather 
of Blair County, dairying is not carried 
on as a business. Cows are kept and 
butter made as one of the side issues of 
farming. Our valley is from four to 
eight miles from the railroad and help 
is very hard to get. Very few farmers 
keep more than six cows in this vicinity. 
A few sell butter to hucksters who retail 
in Altoona while others sell their butter 
to customers in Altoona or Tyrone. I 
received 40 cents per pound for six 
months, dropping gradually to 28 for 
June and July. 
There is a diversity of opinion as to 
breeds. Several have had some fine pure¬ 
bred Swiss, but have heard some farmers 
speak as though dissatisfied with them 
for butter-making, saying the butter was 
inclined to be oily. We have Guernseys, 
almost purebred; raise our own, im¬ 
proving all the time, and think there are 
none better. N. p. M.

New England Milk. 
The milk situation in Massachusetts 
is at present quiet, yet an undercur¬ 
rent of uneasiness and dissatisfaction is 
very apparent. Many buyers of nearby 
milk, that is, who depend on this en¬ 
tirely for their supply, are not getting 
as much as they would like of this kind 
of milk. The general supply is, of course, 
ample, but some of this is not entirely 
reliable; coming from long distances, its 
age is against it no matter how good 
care it.has received in transport. How¬ 
ever, it goes as milk, and helps keep 
a surplus on the market, even when 
there really is not an ample supply of 
good fresh usable milk, the kind that 
is especially needed at this season of the 
year. At this time much milk and 
cream is used at seaside resorts, and, 
of course, has to be repacked and re¬ 
shipped after it is received in Boston by 
the big dealers, and most of it is ob¬ 
tained through them. 
The demand is always uneven for these 
places, according to weather conditions, 
number of people at the resorts, etc. The 
small dealer can supply some of these 
places satisfactorily in some cases, but 
the big man has the inside track, be¬ 
cause he can send 100 cans or what¬ 
ever is needed to-day and half or twice 
the amount to-morrow, as the demand 
may be; also he can undersell for a 
week or two if necessary to drive some 
small person out, and later charge enough 
more to make it up. This is done in 
various ways, and others besides the 
Party in question have to make up any 
loss made by the seller in this way by 
being “soaked” a few cents extra per 
can any time the contractor .mows he 
has the chance. 
Governor Foss made a mistake when 
he vetoed the Meaney bill for labeling the 
source of production of all milk pro¬ 
duced outside the State. This bill was 
all right, and would nave become a law 
only for his interference. I believe the 
contractors were largely behind this ac¬ 
tion, although others helped, perhaps un¬ 
intentionally. The poor argument put 
up by some that southern New Hamp¬ 
shire milk is nearer Boston than much 
Massachusetts milk, and so should not 
be legislated against is foolish, as if this 
same milk is all right and also as near 
and is labelled to state this, no prejudice 
whatever would be held against it in 
any manner and it would suffer no draw¬ 
back that we can see. Further, if any¬ 
one, no matter where located, is ashamed 
or afraid to sell milk for just what it is 
and afraid to state where it is produced, 
he is not honest in his sale, and deserves 
to be brought to account. A sale of 
anything should always be made on its 
merits, and no deception attempted. To 
deceive is foolish at best, and often worse, 
and is found out sooner or later, to the 
contusion of the deceiver, if nothing 
worse. We want no deception in the

individuals. We started right; let us

Prices in Chenango County, N. Y. 
Prices for milk seem to be much ol 
juggle sometimes. The leading com' 
panics are practically a unit in thf 
price paid, but we continually hear ol 
•some concern at a distance of a fen 
miles that is paying more. Occasionally 
_ re is some ground for the report, but 
as a rule if it is one of the more im 
portant companies, investigation proves 
hat the price is not changed from thal 
" fuc ‘h seems to have been fixed by a com¬ 
mon consent. An illustration of this 
ms just come to my attention. In om 
section the Bordens and the Sheffield! 
art the leaders. It has been industrioush 
eportod that the Sheffields, who operate 
‘ Present some distance from us, art 
laying a good ( } eal more t j, an the Bor¬ 
dens who buy milk nearer by. I am not 
going to say that the Sheffields are not 
the better parties to sell milk to. They 
have certain ways that seem to be pref¬ 
erable, but when it conies to price they 
are not trying to drive the Bordens out 
of business. 
In May the Bordens set a price of 
$1.15 per hundred if the milk tested un¬ 
der 3.8 per cent. They offered to pay 
10 cents additional if the test was 3.8 or 
over, and 10 cents more if the barn score 
came up to 08 points. That is, they 
would pay $1.35 for milk testing 3.8 and 
produced in a barn scoring 08 or better. 
In June they put the price at $1 and 
would pay the 10 cents for score and 
10 more for 3.8 milk test. This made 
$1.20 for the high records mentioned. 
The Sheffields paid the same price for 
both May and .Tune. This price was 
$1.40 without mentioning the score, and 
they paid 10 cents over for a score of 
00 and 15 cents for a 08 score. This it 
will be seen in $1.55; but it needs to be 
mentioned that the milk is to test 4.5 
per cent, butter fat. It is also to be 
noted that there is a deduction of four 
cents a point for tests under 4.5 per cent. 
Deducting four cents for each of the 
seven points from 4.5 down to 3.8, or 27 
cents, from the $1.55 and there is left 
$1.23 for 3.8 milk on 08 score. If we 
average Borden’s price for the two 
months it comes to $1.27% or a little 
over that paid by Sheffield’s” folks. This 
extra payment may be offset by the fact 
that in order to secure the 10 cents for 
a tat test it is necessary to be sure of 
keeping above 3.8 per cent., and the 
test above at the Sheffields is paid for 
while that at the Bordens is not. It all 
amounts to the same thing as far as I 
can see. As the Bordens have elected 
to pay seven cents for May this year on 
account of the scarcity of* milk there is 
another point in favor of their side. It 
might seem that they have the advantage 
when this is taken into the account. 
There is mighty little competition be¬ 
tween the companies so far as price is 
concerned if I figure correctly. H. ir. L.

July 12.—Haying is begun and the 
crop is not so good as early appearances 
indicated. .June was too dry and the 
crop will fall somewhat below an aver¬ 
age. Grain and corn are making a good 
growth though rather late. The same is 
true of potatoes, few bugs. July 10 there 
was a soaking rain all over Maine and 
the tendency toward drought conditions 
was entirely relieved. Much hay was 
caught in the fields, but no great damage 
was done as the hay was only partly 
made and very green. Not over a tenth 
of the hay crop has been cut and the re¬ 
mainder is still growing, benefited by the 
rain. Not many apples and very few 
field strawberries. The late freeze killed 
the blossoms. Beef is high, light beef

dairy purposes should consider the item of meat pro¬ 
duction just as the farmers of Holland have done in 
developing the Holstein-Friesian breed 
Just as this breed exceeds all other dairy breeds in the 
profitable production of milk, butter, cheese and veal, so it 
also exceeds them in profitable beef production. The beef 
is excellent in quality and not even the special beef breeds 
produce veal equal to Holstein-Friesian veal.
