Milk 
Prices paid producers by New York 
wholesalers range from 3*4 to four cents, 
net, for Class B pasteurized milk. Res¬ 
taurants using two to five cans per day 
are now paying jobbers 5*4 to six cents 
per quart. 
MASSACHUSETTS MILK. 
At this season of the year we look for 
dried-up pastures and the dairyman who 
has failed to have a crop, in fact several 
successive crops, of green feed planted 
to meet this time or a Summer silo finds 
his milk production small, which means 
loss not only now but for the remainder 
of the milking season of the present 
milkers. 
Milk has been more or less short all 
the season, and is now more instead of 
less: the price of 32 or 33 cents per can 
net is not encouraging enough to make 
farmers strain themselves to make a good 
supply under the adverse conditions at 
present time; high grain cost, scarce 
feed, poor or high-priced help and many 
others, not least, the high price of good 
cows. Many local and also many small 
buyers of Boston milk are paying around 
40 cents per can and find hard work to 
keep ni> their supply to their demand. 
The big buyers, however, show no signs 
as yet of increasing their offer over last 
Spring’s prices, and you can’t blame some 
of tln> producers for selling a few cans 
to the man who is paying 40 when his 
regular buyer is only paying a little over 
30. A larger and fairer price should be 
paid, enough to give a profit over pro¬ 
duction for any dairy large or small that 
makes market milk satisfactory for the 
requirements of the Boston market. The 
evenness of the supply furnished through 
the entire year should govern the price 
to a certain extent, but of course other 
things would affect this also, but if a 
buyer was sure of getting just such an 
amount right along regardless of weather 
conditions he would be willing to pay a 
much better price than if he got too much 
when he don’t want it. and only gets half 
enough when he wants a lot. 
The action of the Massachusetts 
Board of Agriculture Dairy Bureau in 
offering cash prizes for clean milk should 
have a good result and help put the 
Massachusetts milk in a good light before 
the people, increase their confidence in 
the home product so that a demand will 
go forth for this milk at a price which 
will compensate the producers for the 
extra care and pains they may take to 
reach and keep this standard grade of 
clean milk as a regular thing. It looks 
like a step in the right direction. The 
prizes are liberal enough and divided 
fair enough to give all a show. Let the 
entries be large and show that we ap¬ 
preciate the effort to boom our product 
and reward the producer at the same 
time. There are 20 prizes, ranging from 
$100, the largest, down to $5, the small¬ 
est, for the eastern part of the State, I 
samples to be taken in September and 
awards made the following month; en- j 
tries must be made before August 30. 
Entry blanks are obtained at Room 136. 
State House, Boston. Mass. Duplicate 
prizes of equal amounts will be given 
the western portion of the State, samples 
to be taken for these during October and 
awards made December 2. Added to 
these, sweepstakes prizes of $200, $150 
and $100 will be awarded for entire State. 
Prizes of $100, $00, $80, $70, $60 and 
$50 l\)i' dairies all over States best pro¬ 
tected from flies are also offered. All 
prizes lire open to dairies of five cows or 
over where owners are practical working 
or superintending farmers. Now show 
what you can do, and do it. A. E. p.

beaten the Beulah Farm Wyandottes and 
stand next to Edward Cam’s with a total 
of 716. Beulah Farm’s pen totals 709. 
Eleven pens of White Leghorns score over 
700 each. Of all the other breeds only 
five pens have reached 700. The 43 pens 
of White Leghorns have laid 29.033 eggs; 
average per pen 675.18. The 57 pens of 
other breeds have laid 32.01S; an average 
per pen of 561.72; showing the pen 
average of the Leghorns to be 113.46 
ahead of that of all the other breeds. 
('lit out the six or seven pens of 
poor layers in the other breeds and it 
would still show that White Leghorns 
have averaged to lay 100 eggs or more by 
each pen than the other breeds have. 
As I stated lats week, probably part 
of this gain is due to the fact that the 
ration fed is more favorable to the Leg¬ 
horns than to the larger breeds. I don’t 
mean to charge the managers of the con¬ 
test with having intentionally made it so, 
but I think in actual practice it has so 
worked out. But this is merely my opin¬

THE EGG-LAYING CONTEST. 
* 
The thirty-ninth week of the contest, 
ending July 31, shows a further drop in 
egg production of 35; the number laid 
this week was 1,858, as against 1,893 last 
week. A year ago in the thirty-ninth 
week the number was 1.593. This shows 
a gain this year of 265 eggs over the 
number laid in the same week last year. 
The White Leghorns make a slight 
gain, 16 eggs, over last week. W. L. 
Sleegur’s pen of White Leghorns make 
the high score for the week, viz., 30. 
This pen is the highest scoring pen of the 
American-bred White Leghorns, and they 
have done some remarkably good laying. 
They are a very liandsome-looking lot of 
birds, too; to my mind one of the best- 
looking pens of Leghorns in the contest. 
Four pens of White Leghorns tie for 
second place with scores of 27 each. They 
are Ingleside Farm Co.’s pen; Frank 
Toulmin’s pen from England ; Tom Bar¬ 
ron’s pen, and Edward Cam's pen. T. 
W. Burns’ pen of Silver Wyandottes also 
laid 27. Five pens of White Leghorns 
laid 26 each. P. G. Platt’s pen. Smith 
Bro.’s pen, O. A. Foster’s pen, and I*. A. 
.Tones' iien. The Blue Andalusians laid 
25, and four pens of White Leghorns laid 
(he same number. Tom Barron’s birds 
have a total of 5159 eggs to their credit; 
Edward ('am still holds second place with 
a total of S78; O. A. Foster’s pen totals 
835; W. L. Sleegur’s pen 809. This 
makes Barron’s pen just 150 eggs ahead 
ot the best American-bred White Leg¬ 
horns. The next best score is made by 
I( ^ Cam’s White Wyandottes, viz., 
ib>0. The pen of White Wyandottes that 
Mrs. H. F. Haynes sent on horseback 
over the Idaho mountains to this contest 
have done remarkably well; they have

. Not many years ago 16 lbs. of fat in 7 days was con¬ 
sidered a very creditable yield for full-aged cows, and 
many a breeder looking for a bull to head his herd, re¬ 
solved to consider only such animals as could show a 
dam with this record or better. 
Today 16 pounds of fat is the mark aimed at by Holstein 
breeders for their two-year-old heifers and many surpass it. 
This progress shows what intelligent selection and breed¬ 
ing will do and ought to prove an incentive to the farmer 
to improve his own herd.
