STATEMENT FROM THE DAIRYMEN’S 
LEAGUE. 
T IIE stales committee appointed at a re¬ 
cent meeting of the directors of the 
Dairymen’s League to endeavor to 
market the milk for the Winter months, 
have thus far been unable to arrange any 
terms for the sale of the league milk. The 
Borden’s Condensed Milk Co. refuse to 
confer with the committee in any way. 
Other dealers who have been approached 
treated the committee more considerately, 
but hesitate upon agreeing to give any 
definite price unless Borden’s and other 
principal dealers do the same. The un¬ 
settled conditions in Europe and the ef¬ 
fect upon the cost of dairy feeds, and 
the price of foods in general, offers a 
very difficult problem for the committee 
and they feel uncertain as to the advisa¬ 
bility of making or agreeing to accept a 
schedule of prices for so long a period as 
six months. It has been decided to sug¬ 
gest that members not sign any contracts 
should the dealers iu conformity to their 
usual custom ask the producers to sign 
them about September 15. 
A meeting of the directors has been 
called for Friday, September IS. at 30 
a. m. at the Agricultural Department, 
Albany, N. Y. It is requested that each 
branch call a special meeting of all mem¬ 
bers and select a d*degate to attend this 
meeting, bringing the sentiment of their 
branches as to their willingness to accept 
the price which the dealers offer, or 
whether they shall contest for a league 
price, and, ii : so, what percentage of their 
membership will positively stand for such 
price to the extent of manufacturing their 
milk for a period of 30 days, should it be 
necessary. If not possible to be repre¬ 
sented by a delegate, advise us by mail 
just your position. 
The directors feel it is becoming more 
and more apparent that each branch or 
locality should be prepared with a plant 
to care for their milk in time of neces¬ 
sity or surplus. A success in contest is 
but a temporary advantage. 
There are now 1S7.000 cows subscrib¬ 
ed for in stock, about 5.000 of which have 
gone out of business. 137.000 cows are 
subscribed for in agreements. We espe¬ 
cially urge at this time that each branch 
strengthen their position by securing new 
stock subscribers, and have all subscrib¬ 
ers sign agreements.

Milk Yield of Goats. 
w 
W E prefer Ayrshire and Holstein bred 
cattle, for the reason we are sat¬ 
isfied. They will produce better 
results than other breeds. Especially for 
larger quantities of milk. They are 
proven by my experience to be very 
healthy and rugged animals, also good 
heifers. a. s. e.

The Dog Problem. — I believe the only 
solution of the dog problem, mentioned so 
often in connection with sheep-raising, 
will be to make every dog wear his tax 
receipt, in the form of a tag attached to 
his collar, and put the others ‘‘under the 
ban of the empire.” Without such a 
mark it is hard to distinguish the taxed 
from the untaxed, and probably the un¬ 
taxed do the most damage. This is the 
essential part of the Maine law as de¬ 
scribed by Mr. McKean some time ago iu 
The It. N.-Y. w. J. M.

Sheep At The N. Y. State Fair.— 
Owing to prevalence of hog cholera 
last year it was thought advisaable 
not to show swine this year. 
The 
sheep exhibits at the fair were loss than 
former years, owing to the Toronto and 
the Ohio State Fair dates conflicting with 
those of th(> New York State. The Dor- 
sets were the strongest they have ever 
been on the grounds. The exhibits were 
from New York, New Jersey aud .flocks 
from farther east, and some Canadian 
stock was shown. Special prizes were of¬ 
fered by the Shropshire, the Southdown 
and the Hampshire associations. The im¬ 
provement iu quality is good evidence 
that the farmers are becoming more in¬ 
terested in good sheep in New York and 
Eastern States, ami are breeding from 
stock selected from well-known herds. At 
the fair there were a number of sales 
made by the large exhibitors to farmers 
who use the new blood in improving their 
flocks. It is necessary that more sheep 
should be raised iu New York State to 
produce profit from waste land and fur¬ 
ther supply the demand for meat. 
HAT is the average quantity of milk 
from a milch goat? What is the 
period of normal milk flow? 
New Jersey. E. j. o. 
A good milch goat should give from 
one to two quarts of milk daily, much 
less than the latter amount frbm a mature 
doe not being considered profitable. A 
doe with her first kid is not expected to 
yield as much, three pints being a fair 
amount, and these yields should be main¬ 
tained for six or eight months. Goats 
are reported as giving milk continuously 
over a period of several years without re¬ 
newed gestation. M. B. D.
