THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
May 7, 
WORLD’S CHAMPION DAIRY SHORT¬ 
HORN COW. 
The Short-horn cow Rose of Glen- 
side, shown in Fig. 222, completed March 
3 a year’s dairy record of 18,075 pounds 
milk and 735 pounds butter. This is a 
world’s record for a Short-horn cow, 
and exceeds the milk yield of the world's 
champion Jersey Jacoba Irene, and the 
world’s champion Ayrshire Rena Ross. 
It is a conclusive proof of the existence 
of the milking Short-horns and their 
capabilities as milk and butter pro¬ 
ducers. This cow is also a good breed¬ 
er, which is more than can be said of 
some of the great record cows of other 
breeds. She is nine years old, has had 
seven calves, and is with calf again. 
She produced milk at a cost for grain 
of less than one cent a quart. This 
great cow is owned by May & Otis, 
Glenside Farm, Bradford County, Pa. 
The present outlook for the dairy¬ 
man who ships milk to Philadelphia, his 
labor is given for the privilege to ship 
milk, for which he receives almost 
enough to cover the cost of production, 
saying nothing about interest on in¬ 
vestment. Six months of the year he 
produces milk at a loss, the other six 
he is confronted with a 3%-cent mar¬ 
ket. If there is a dairyman known who 
can make as much clear of cost of pro¬ 
duction as the city dealer gets clear from 
serving a 300-quart route whether ship¬ 
ping to Philadelphia or any city at the 
Philadelphia market prices, I would like 
to hear from him through The R. N.-Y. 
Then turn to the seashore milk trade 
for some facts. They pay 4*4 and live 
cents per quart during the hottest 
weather, when ice is needed in large 
quantities. Their retail price is eight 
cents, the same as Philadelphia retail 
Let Him Alone 
Perhaps some maker or agent of 
common cream separators is trying to 
sell you a disk-filled or 
other com- aft plicated machine 
by claiming W&y it is simplest, 
52 disks from one common separator exchanged 
for Dairy Tubular. The maker calls it 
simple and easy to clean. 
most efficient, or most durable. Ask 
him why he makes such claims when 
everybody knows that 
Sharpies Dairy Tubular 
Cream Separators 
have neither disks nor other contraptions, yet 
produce twice the skimming force, skim faster, 
skim twice as clean, wash easier and wear longer 
than common machines. If he tries to dispute 
these facts, ask him to go with you to the nearest 
Tubular agent and disprove them. If he refuses 
to go, just let him alone—his machine is not the 
kind you want. 
Tubulars are The World’s Best. Sales easily 
exceed most, if not all, others combined. Prob¬ 
ably replace more common separators than any 
one maker of such machines sells. World’s 
biggest separator works. Branch factories in 
Canada and 
Germany.

SHORT-IIORN COW ROSE OF GLENSIDE. Fig. 222. 
Her test is semi-official. Her best day’s 
milk yield was 62.8 pounds; average 
for entire year, 49.5 pounds milk; two 
pounds butter per day. The last 30 
days of her test she gave 1,151.5 pounds 
of milk, 42.3 pounds of butter fat. This 
is marvelous tenacity.

THREE AND ONE-HALE CENT MILK, AND 
WHY. 
I have been talking over the expense- 
of serving a milk route in Camden, N. 
J., which could be compared with the 
same business in Philadelphia as to the 
cost of serving. The figures will in¬ 
terest every dairyman who ships milk 
to either city. The man who answered 
my questions has been in the retail milk 
business for 25 years. He and I were 
having a friendly discussion about milk 
prices when I asked him the following 
question: “What size dairy should a 
man handle to meet these expenses— 
$20 horse feed, $10 lost accounts and bad 
debts, $5 horseshoeing and repairs to 
wagon, $5 broken jars, $5 license and 
shortage, $10 per week for a driver, 
total $S5 per month?” He promptly 
replied, “At least a 300-quart route.” 
Now, dairymen, do a little figuring on 
this fact to see who is getting the bene¬ 
fit of your labor. Compare the cost of 
serving with the cost of production. 
First you see the 300 quarts of milk cost 
the dealer delivered at the milk plat¬ 
form in the farmers’ cans $360. Ex¬ 
pense of serving $85, total $445. The 
retail price at eight cents is $720, less 
$445. You see $275 per month for man¬ 
aging the business is the dealer’s share, 
while he has invested in the business 
one horse $200, wagon $175, jars and 
fixtures $50, total $425. With the aid 
of paper and pencil we find the capital 
invested to produce 300 quarts of milk, 
24 cows, one bull, at $40 each, $2,000; 
wagon, cans, cooler, $155; $45 advanced 
in milk tickets; total invested, $2,200. 
prices. They are satisfied at these prices 
and pay promptly. That convinces me 
that there is a fair profit in retailing at 
eight cents per quart and pay a rea¬ 
sonable price for their milk. r I he farmer 
is partly to blame for the existing con¬ 
ditions, because he will ship all his milk 
in May and June, forcing the platform 
price down to two cents and sometimes 
less. Why not keep a few calves on 
the hard milkers and kickers during this 
flood season, and arrange to keep the 
supply about normal ? Keep the plat¬ 
form price about one-half cent higher 
than market price, then you can talk 
prices and they will listen to you. 
Camden, N. J. D. s. c. 
“Yes,” said the thoughtful thinker, 
“I have an idea for an invention that 
would make all other get-rich-quick 
schemes look like a dollar minus 70 
cents—if 1 could only perfect it.” 
“What’s the idea?” queried the party of 
the dense part. “A folding horse that 
would fit under the seat of an automo¬ 
bile, for use in emergencies,” answered 
the t. t.—Chicago News.
