Milk TRAIN.-We spoke last week of con
templated milk train from Rutland to New York,
over the Harlem Extension road. We now learn
that the first milk train will start from Rutland
on March the LIST, and will run through to New
York and return daily, and a large number of
dairy men will be ready to send on the LIST day of
March. Mr.. Park, of North Bennington, has
bought and is contracting for 100 cows for this
purpose. They have an ice house at Rutland filed
with 100 tons of ice, and one other on the route
that holds $50 tons.
Messrs. Cummings, Baker & Co., who sell the
milk in New York on commission, have been en-
gagged in the milk business for several years with
good success, both to themselves and the farmers
whom they have assisted We hope the farmers
will give 1t thorough trial, and If successful it
must be of immense advantage to the farming in
terest Of that section of the State
