Milk 
Prices paid producers by New York 
wholesalers range from 3% to four cents, 
net, for Class B pasteurized milk. Res¬ 
taurants using two to five cans per day 
are now paying jobbers 5to six cents 
per quart. 
NATIONAL MILK COMMISSION. 
The National Commission on Milk 
Standards finds that pasteurization is 
necessary as a safeguard of public health, 
except for a certain quality of first-grade 
milk, which has otherwise been protected 
against infection. The milk thus except¬ 
ed must come from cows free from dis¬ 
ease as determined by tuberculin tests 
and periodical physical examinations by 
qualified veterinarians. All employes 
handling this milk must bo periodically 
inspected by qualified physicians and have 
clean bills of health. Sanitary conditions 
surrounding the dairies and shipment of 
the milk must be such that the milk shall 
not contain more than 100,000 bacteria to 
the cubic centimeter on reaching the con¬ 
sumer. As to the contention that valu¬ 
able food qualities are destroyed by the 
high temperature of pasteurization, the 
Commission finds that “the destruction of 
the chemical constituents of milk by heat 
occurs at higher temperatures than those 
necessary for the destruction of the bac¬ 
teria of infectious diseases transmissable 
by milk.” It is recommended that for 
commercial pasteurization milk be held at 
a temperature of 140 degrees F. for 30 
minutes. This pasteurization should 
preferably take place in the final con¬ 
tainer. 
The Commission gave its chief atten¬ 
tion to the subject of bacteria in milk, 
coming out strongly for the establish¬ 
ment of bacterial standards as an official 
index in determining whether milk is good 
or bad. It recognizes, however, the diffi¬ 
culty of interpreting bacterial counts, and 
recommends the adoption of a standard 
method for estimating and comparing 
milk as to its germ content. 
The Commission emphasizes the need of 
a uniform grading of milk as to its clean¬ 
liness and freedom from disease dangers, 
taking the bacterial count as one of the 
most important elements in this grading. 
It was decided to simplify somewhat its 
recommendations of 1912, on which the 
milk ordinances of many cities have been 
based, now advising three grades instead 
of four. Grade A, when sold raw, must 
conform to the requirements mentioned 
above. Grade A pasteurized shall come 
from cows free from disease as deter¬ 
mined by physical examination of a quali¬ 
fied veterinarian and must at no time 
contain more than 200,000 bacteria per 
cubic centimeter. It shall be pasteurized 
under official supervision and have a bac¬ 
terial count of not over 10,000 when it 
reaches the consumer. Grade A milk is 
considered safe for infant consumption. 
Grade B milk may come from cows passed 
on at least once a year by a qualified vet¬ 
erinarian. It must never contain more 
than 1,000,000 bacteria, and after* official 
pasteurization must not show over 50,000 
bacteria on delivery to the consumer. 
This milk is advised for adults only. 
Grade C should differ from Grade B only 
in having at the outset more than 1,000,- 
000 bacteria to the cubic centimeter. It 
is recommended that this be used for 
Cooking and manufacturing purposes 
only, and that its sale be carefully re¬ 
stricted by law. It is recommended that all 
milk be labeled with its grade and dated 
uniformly with the date of its delivery to 
the consumer. 
THE BOSTON MARKET. 
Fresh fruit and green vegetables in 
Boston market the last few days have 
sold on an average very satisfactorily to 
grower and dealer. Good grades of ap¬ 
ples have been short, and demand good. 
The poorer grades have not been in as 
good demand as was the case the previous 
week. Nice, fancy, high-colored Graven- 
steins were hard to find and sold at $1.50 
to $1.75 per box for picked ones, good 
drops brought $1 and better. Green ap¬ 
ples sold at 50 to S5 cents per box for 
cooking purposes. Fancy barrel fruit, 
Astrachan, Duchess and Williams, sold 
at $3 to $3.50 per barrel. Pears are 
bringing from 75 cents to $1.50 
per bushel for C'lapp and Bartlett: cook¬ 
ing pears, 50 to 75 cents per box. Peaches 
in good supply at reasonable prices, from 
o0 cents to $1.25 per basket. Water¬ 
melons, 20 to 30 cents each. Blueberries 
from northern section tiring 18 cents 
per box; grapes, 12 cents per basket; 
wdd grapes, $2 per box; bananas, $1 to 
$3 per bunch, according to size. 
Green corn sells very well and cleans 
out quickly at 50 to 75 cents per box, 
with average sales at 50. Tomatoes 
fdutty at 40 to 00 cents per box. Cu¬ 
cumbers, $4 per box for good ones, when 
such can be found; most offering are 
poor quality and sell at $1 to $2 per box. 
Shell beans plenty and were selling a 
jew days ago at 50 to 75 cents per box, 
but have now improved to around $1; 
string beans, 75 cents to $1. Peppers sell 
very well at $1 per box; cabbage, $1.50 
per barrel, and supply is just about equal 
5® demand, no more. Cauliflower, $1 to 
.>1.50 per box. Celery, $1 per oox; beets, 
to cents per box. 20 cents per dozen 
P un . c ^s; carrots, $1 per box; lettuce, 25 
to 40 cents per box; spinach, 50 cents 
per box; radish, 50 cents per box; tur¬ 
nips, 7y cents per box; squash, $1.25 to 
$2 per barrel. Potatoes, $1.50 per bag 
of two bushels, barrel stock goes at $2 
to $2.25; sweets, $2.25 to $2.50 per bar¬ 
rel. Onions, native, around $1 per box. 
Butter is holding down to a low level 
longer than we supposed it would ,but 
must go higher shortly; now 31 to 33 by 
the tub. Cheese is firm and with butter 
will of course go higher soon; 15 to 17 
per pound are average prrees now. Fggs 
short on fresh stock and prices are mov¬ 
ing up, _some going as high as 38, others 
30 to 35. Poultry holds about the same 
with a fair demand. Live hens, 10 per 
pound; broilers, 17 or better. Dressed 
fowls, 20; chickens, 28; ducks, 17; tur¬ 
keys, 27 for western stock. Dressed 
lamb, 14 for good; beef, 13 and 14; 
dressed hogs, ll^ ; cow beef on hoof six 
cents for common grades of milked-out 
cows in just fair condition. Veal calves, 
8% to 10% on hoof. 
Best horse hay near $24 per ton, other 
grades $15 to $22. Middlings, $29 per 
ton; bran, $26; mixed feed, $28.50 per 
ton; meal, $1.68 per bag; oats, $1.10 
wholesale; retail prices, meal, $1.75, and 
oats, $1.25 to $1.35; cotton-seed, $33 per 
ton wholesale. a. e. p. 
Milking Records. 
IIow many cows can a man milk 
morning and evening and do his other 
work, is like the question, how many 
cows can an acre carry. It depends on 
the cow and on the acre, but it seems 
fair to ask how many quarts should a 
man be able to milk, neglecting the ques¬ 
tion of some cows milking harder or 
easier than others. Let us have a dis¬ 
cussion of this interesting question. 
Connecticut. j. s. B. 
R. N.-Y.—Very well—give us the rec¬ 
ords. How many quarts or pounds of 
milk should a man be expected to squeeze 
out per day? What is the record? We 
have had scores of champion potato 
diggers or chicken pickers—now for the 
milkers. 
The question of how much milk a man 
should be expected to handle per days is a 
elastic one, as all questions are which 
have to do with dairying. Much depends 
upon the cow and the amount each one 
gives. As a rule we, in this locality, do 
not ask men to milk over from 10 to 12 
cows in addition to their other work. In 
doing this they will not handle more 
than 300 pounds daily in the flush of the 
season and most herds would probably 
not average over 250 pounds to this num¬ 
ber of cows. __ Personally I have milked. 
as high as 450 pounds of milk from 12 
cows for several days, but in my opinion 
this is too much to ask a man to follow 
for the season. Charles s. aiken.

HOLSTEIN 
CATTLE 
Quantity of production and persistency of 
milking during long periods are well-known 
characteristics of Holsteins- Dropping her first 
calf at about two years old the average cow, if 
well cared for, will produce from 5,000 to 6,000 
pounds of milk in ten mouths, and she will in¬ 
crease the production every year until, at five 
years, she will give from 7,000 to 9,000 pounds. 
If fed to their ability to digest and assimilate 
food, many Holsteins will exceed this produc¬ 
tion.
