Considerable complaint is heard among
the dairy men of the county at the great
reduction in the demand for milk by the
dealers in Washington, and some say that
if this state of affairs continues much
longer they will have to dispose of their
stock and abandon the business. one man
in the vicinity of Gaithersburg, who has
been in the business for years on large
scale some time ago received notice from
the firm he had been supplying that no
more milk would be received, as their sales
to city customers had greatly fallen off
during the winter. This leaves him with
about thirty fresh cows and no market for
their product Not being provided with the
necessary facilities for turning the product
into butter, he is in rather an awkward fix.
