ORANGE COUNTY MILK.
How 1t Was First Sent TO tho New yor,,
InrIkCt.

In recent conversation with q re-
porter, Thomas j. Taylor, an old milk
producer, of Florida, N. Y, gave short
history of the growth and method of the
milk traflic in Orange County He
said:
The first milk shipped from Orange
County to New York was in April, 1912,
and was produced on the farm then
owned by Philo Gregory. William T..
Langridge worked Mr.. Gregory's farm,
and sold to Mr.. Gregory the milk at two
cents quart, delivered on the cars at
Chester. 1t went to New York by the
passenger train in the morning, to Pier
mont, and thence by boat. The first
shipments were made in churns, which
with Their contents were weighed, and
twenty cents hundred was charged for
freight AMI two shillings six pence for
carriage from the boat to the milk depot
Mt NO. 81 Thompson street, New York.
Nlr. Gregory employed q man to sell his
milk, paying him $40 month and
board, and sold his milk at four cents
per quart. Mr.. Langridge in one year
and half made an assignment, while
Mr. Gregory, ut two cents quart, paid
ms freight, carriage, rent (Which was
S)O per year for II basement roOm) and
ncIp, and established business which
has since grown to enormous proper
lions. 1t WAS soon found that two cents
quart was losing business, and for
many years it was sold by the farmers Mt
two cents quart for fo,r months, three
cents quart four months and four cents
quart four months. These were the
established prices until 1861, during
which time butter sold in the early
spring and fall of the year from one
shilling and siXpcnce to two shillings
pound, and darcs for season at IS to 90
cents. When the war broke out prices
ran wild, farmers receiving as high as
tour cents in summer six cents in
spring and fall, and eight cents in win
ter. Butter was worth from so cents TO
70 cents at the farmers door After the
war; and up to 1871. farmers sold their
milk to the dealers III the market price
the dealers made the price at it's honest
value, and the farmers were satisfied.
In November, 1871, milk had been sell
ing during the whole month at six cents
and freight on the platform Mt Jersey
City. N. d. Woodruff called q meet
ing OF the milk-dcalcrs together in Hes
ter street, New York, on the 3Oth of
November, and proposed the plan of
making the price five cents, saying that
no one farmer could or would contest the
price. He carried his point, and ever
since the price has been made by the
same combination, led by Mr.. Woodruff
until he died"

SUMMER IN MY HEAR

Above, the sky is pale and drear;
Below the ground is whito with frost,
No merry voice Of bird hear;
The babbling brook in ice is lost
Nature is resting from her work,
And when she sleeps she little heeds
Whether the skies be bright or murl,
Or what her waking children needs.
1t is :le time we winter call;
OF all the seasons most forlorn,
Beauty arrays her in o pail
Forgets the weeds that most adorn.
But when l fondly think of you
The dreary curtain drops apart,
A charming landscape then view,
For then tits summer in my heart.
