and he did not know whether it referred to any
particular gal, but his daughter could get as
many quarts out of COW as she held.
Farmer Durham then rose, and wanted to
know how much she held. Mr.. 0'Flaherty said
"that he had one that gave about twelve
quarts" Durham said che didn't believe any
gal held that much, he had never hearn tell of
sich thing" Naughter.) The Chairman
called Mr.. Durham to order. Mr.. O'Flaherty
Continued:-In New York we labor under great
Notwithstanding but an "0range County"
milk wagon would do to sell in, and the in
spector says he will not license any more
"Orange County" milk wagons; that there are
enough now to carry not only all the milk, but all
the COWS in Orange County; consequently we
have to adopt other names of towns on the rail-
roads, that must be far enough out in the county
to raise COW, and yet not too far for the milk
TO reach the market that day. His dairy farm
was near the East river, and was 20 feet
front by l2O feet deep, and his customers lived
in the Avenues, but few squares from him; yet
it was necessary for him to rise by o'clock
every morning, to milk his COWS, prepare his
milk and cream, FL his cans, and drive his
painted wagons to Jersey Oity, the New
Haven or Hudson River Railroad Depots, &C.
cording to the lettering on the wagons, and then
return TO the city again and serve his customers,
before six o'clock in the morning. The price
OF arrow-root, moasses, calves brains, and
other chemicals used in our manufacture has
gone up so that it is but right that the price of
milk should be raised, and he thought 1T was
only necessary for them 10 form a Milky
Union, and 'take the bull right by the horns"
Farmer Durham here rose and said that they
couldn't git milk by takin' bull by the horns
He had never hearn tell of sich thing. The
Chairman called Mr.. Durham to order. The
Chair here requested Mr.. O'Flaherty to furnish
the meeting with an account Of the process for
making milk for city consumption, as they
found even in Philadelphia growing demand
for good and wholesome milk by the masses,
and unless some way was invented, our own
pigs would have to be put on short allowance.
Mi. O'Flaherty said he was not prepared to
make statement now, but that he represented
forty COWS. Farmer Durham rose and said
he didn't see any likeness to forty cows, and he'd
never heam tell of sich thing. The Chair
called Mr.. Durham to order Mr. O'Flaherty
continued And l supply from them forty,
twenty y-eight cans of Long Island" thirty
seven of "Poughkeepsie,n and sixty Connect
cut Valley" besides from fOrty'fye to fifty cans
of "Orange county" every uaYi WHICH WOulu
take over two hundred Pennsylvania COWS to
! do the same thing with the old style way OF
doin'. You may know, though it keeps us busy,
we can't raise pigs or anything Except childer),
| as it takes all our time to haul large barrels Of
| pasture to feed 'em, and to manufacture our
! milk for the market, as our Avenue customers
are mighty partickler as to color III their milk.
| 1t must look rich.
The Chairman here proposed that, in the
event of their not being able to raise the price
to satisfactory point between them and the
citizens that committee be appointed to visit
| New York and see Mr.. O'Flaherty's Dairy, and
Others there conducted on the same economical
principles, with view of improving our owl
| Dairies Farmer Durham wanted the Chair tC
send him to New York, as he'd never bin there
and he would like to see how the crops looked
The Chair called Mr. Durham to order.
After efIectlng permanent organization, th'
Chairman moved that the title of the organiza
ton be the "Pennsylvania Chamber of MIX
Mr.. Durham here rose and said that was oriul
he'd never hearn tell of sich thing. Ceres o
"Order! order!'). The motion was carried, ant
the name adopted, Notwithstanding Farme
Durham's protest that she had never hear
tell of sich thing"
After settling on a committee to visit Nev
York at the expense Of the organization, tn
meeting adjourned.
