One Way to Market Milk 
Why Crowd It All on the Fluid Market ? 
HE low prices for milk have got all mine did. It would take considerable 
_ 0 f us thinking. The other day I was more management and figuring to pro¬ 
fiting with an old friend of mine in duce good butter and to sell it right than 
inother community, and he told me he 
thought he had at last partly solved his 
tjlk marketing problem. After he ex¬ 
plained what lie was doing, I did not 
Low but what he was right. It set me 
I-ondering if I could not work it out 
it would to dump the milk in the cans 
and haul it to the station. But all the 
same, I am wondering if it would not be 
more of a chance for the right kind of 
man with a few cows, and even a large 
dairy, to stop over-loading the market

his milk a long ways to the shipping — E. E. Roe 
Nation. Some months ago when the _ 
Lice for fluid milk began to go down, he 
paid to his wife, 
‘I've been sick of drawing milk a long 
time, and here’s where I quit.” 
He bought a cream separator, a churn, 
jind hooked them up with a small gas 
bngine which he already had. Then he 
Lot some bulletins and books on butter- 
Laking and hired an old creamery man 
[vho lived in the neighborhood to come 
and show him how to make real 
tv butter. He doesn’t live far from 
.. small city, and as soon as he got so he 
could make a quality of butter that he 
knew was good, he began to work up a 
trade for it in his nearby city. After the 
first month, he has succeeded in getting 
little better than the highest market 
■quotations. The fact that in spite of the 
flow prices for milk butter has maintained 
constantly strong position this spring 
llielped this man in his new venture. 
I said to him that not all farmers live 
Inear cities so that they could work up 
Itheir own markets. 
Makes Use of Other Factors 
“No,” he said, “but a lot of them live 
ion state roads where automobiles are 
I passing all of the time and about the 
[hardest thing to buy anywhere is butter 
I which is not strong enough to do liouse- 
I work ; so I figure that if I did not sell my 
butter in the city, I could build up a pretty 
good trade for it on the state road, after 
Ifolks once found that it was the real stuff. 
“But the best of it is,” he continued. 
I “selling the butter is only part of the 
story. Since this fluid milk business came 
along farmers in dairy sections have 
forgotten the value of real skim milk. 
This used to be quite a hog-raising coun¬ 
try when farmers had skim milk, but now 
it lias got so a lot of us don’t even raise 
League Buying Certificates 
T HE Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association is calling the attention 
of its members to the fact that it is offer¬ 
ing to buy certain of the certificates of 
indebtedness if offered by the holders 
before August 10, 1924. Although the 
offer has now been made some time, com¬ 
paratively few have taken advantage of 
it. The treasurer of the Association will 
purchase all certificates of series A whose 
number have zero as their final digit. 
All persons holding certificates bearing 
these numbers wishing to dispose of the 
same can receive 95 per cent, of the face 
value and accrued interest to July 1,1924. 
Certificates not presented within the time 
limit as stated will not be purchased until 
maturity and will not be considered in 
further purchases. 
If you wish to dispose of your certifi¬ 
cates, look at them carefully to determine 
first if they are of series A and then see if 
their serial number has zero as the final 
digit. If so, send them to the treasurer 
of the Dairymen’s League Cooperative 
Association at 120 West 42nd Street, New 
York City, immediately. It is strongly 
advised that they be sent by registered 
mail. The certificate must bear endorsed 
across the back of it the name of the per¬ 
son offering same for purchase. Upon 
receipt, the treasurer of the Association 
will mail a check to the holder. 
New Plan Insures Steady T B 
Eradication Progress 
T HE continuation of tuberculosis eradi¬ 
cation work throughout the entire year 
—__ beginning July 1 is practically insured 
our own pork. We pay retail prices for by the recent action of the State Depart- 
I it after it is hauled in from the west 
somewhere. A few hogs to sell once in a 
I while, especially as they don’t cost you 
much of anything but a little corn and 
skim milk to grow them, is a pretty 
good side line. 
“Then, too, there are the calves. I 
haven’t tried to do anything with them 
yet, but I believe with the good skim milk 
and the carefid use of grain, that I could 
study up so I could fat some veals with¬ 
out having to use a lot of whole milk. 
Maybe I couldn’t; but I have been reading 
lately, and I know that it has been done. 
“But best of all, skim milk is great 
stuff for hens. Our hens haven’t laid in 
years the way they have this summer, and 
ment of Farms and Markets in allocating 
the appropriation for tuberculosis eradica¬ 
tion among the counties on the basis of 
cow enumeration, and percentage of 
reactors. This belief was expressed by 
members of the tuberculosis eradication 
committee of the New York State Farm 
Bureau Federation, when announcement 
of Commissioner Berne Pyrke’s action 
was received at Ithaca. 
The allocation plan was suggested by 
the federation committee after a long 
study of the tuberculosis eradication 
situation in this state. The committee, 
which originally included H. E. Babcock, 
Ithaca, chairman; Jay Coryell, Ithaca, 
Secretary; L. A. Toan, president of the

times last winter 
to work on a plan 
for ridding New 
York’s herds of 
tuberculosis which 
would be practical 
and as inexpensive 
as possible to the 
state and to dair »- 
men concerned. 
The committee 
reported to lead¬

glad I quit being

work for myself

Cows need more than green pasture, with its /U 
to 80 % water content, to stay at top-notch milk 
flow, health and condition. They need Larro too, 
because they cannot eat enough grass. 
Feed Larro every day. Start now and insure, by 
the addition of the nutritious, high quality, well 
balanced materials in Larro, the continuous, prof¬ 
itable production which Larro always gives.
