NEW ENGLAND MILK SITUATION. 
I N the July .°>1 issue of Hoard’s Dairy¬ 
man, Mr. Webster in his brief report 
of the proceedings at the meeting of 
the milk conference at the Boston Cham¬ 
ber of Commerce on July 1, states that 
the farmers’ representatives had a hazy 
idea of the situation, and that many did 
not seem to understand it at all. This 
at least is what anyone would think after 
reading his article. I differ very much 
on this question. In the first plaee there 
were few or no practical farmers or milk 
producers there. About all present were 
theorists, and no more represent the milk 
producers of New England than a gath¬ 
ering of railroad officials would represent 
the labor organization of the men em¬ 
ployed on their roads. By the general 
tone of his report one would gather that 
this conference was to teach the farmer 
how to make cheaper milk, or rather to 
make milk more cheaply than is done at 
present. Apparently this is theonly issue 
of the whole affair, to teach the farmer to 
improve and reduce his cost of production. 
Now this is a wrong idea. There are 
many other sides to the question besides 
the farmers’ that need teaching and some¬ 
thing more. There is no doubt in the 
mind of those who know the true situa¬ 
tion and condition of the New England 
milk producers that the kind of milk 
wanted and demanded cannot be pro¬ 
duced any cheaper than at present, and 
in many cases price received does not 
cover cost of production. There are of 
course individual cases where there could 
he a saving made in different ways by 
better cows, better handling, etc., but the 
majority of New England milk producers 
know their business, know their condi¬ 
tions, in fact are up-to-date business 
men, and to state that there is room for 
large improvement and better cows and 
such tales show the utter ignorance and 
lack of understanding of anyone who 
makes such a statement. Ask any of the 
leading producers whether they would 
care to or would under any circumstances 
produce milk for Boston market or any 
other at the price the general farmers 
are receiving for wholesale Boston milk. 
These are undoubtedly making money out 
of the production of milk. IIow are they 
doing it? By marketing their product to 
special customers who are willing and 
able to pay a reasonable price for a good 
product. These and some others are in 
the position to conduct their whole busi¬ 
ness themselves from cow to customer, 
and while even they have their troubles 
they get 100 cents out of the dollar, not 
25 or 35 and some one else get the rest. 
I am pretty well posted as to how 
much money can be made in ordinary 
milk production both by personal exper¬ 
ience and the experience of all dairymen 
about this section, and of all I know I 
can at this time recall but two who have 
made money on making wholesale milk 
for Boston market and both of these had 
other products which paid better and thus 
helped much in the general result. One 
of these made his money some years ago 
when conditions were different, and is 
not just now making a can of milk for 
market, hut will later do a little along 
this line. Another case is a man who 
has kept a large dairy, that is 20 to 30 
cows, for many years, and no one has any 
better cows or knows a cow much better 
than he does. He has made money, but 
not all out of cows. He has bought and 
sold three different farms and made a 
good figure on each sale. He has also 
kept poultry on a fairly large scale, raised 
chickens to sell and made good profit out 
of these; in fact he said he made more 
out of these at different times than from 
his cows. On one of these farms he had 
a large house on a high sightly location, 
and took Summer boarders at $1 per day 
each. This was some years ago when 
general prices on food, etc., were low, 
and he made money on this venture, so 
really only a small part of his present 
accumulation came from profit on keep¬ 
ing cows for market milk. One very in¬ 
telligent man. well read and wideawake, 
has a grown son who has been through 
the Massachusetts Agricultural College to 
assist him; both are hard workers, keep 
a good-sized herd of grade Ayr shires, 
know what it costs to feed, understand 
all about rations, etc.; yet both will tell 
you there is really no profit iu the milk 
end of the business, but they do well on 
apples and small fruits, getting, by far, 
their best income from these, a. e. p.
