business. The promoters claim that at |
present the only question with the farm
er is how he can keep his stock on the
least oney and produce sufficient milk |
| to give him profit. As to the quality |
of the milk, the farmer cares not so long
as it passes the Milk Inspectors. The |
trusts idea il that the farmer shall learn |
that proper feeding will produce milk
which v i'll not only stand no chance of
being condemned, but which will bring
him better price and better returns in
other ways.
The practice of grocers and others
selling milk, it is understood, will not be
encouraged. Sub-stations where dairy
products may be purchased will be es-
tablished and in them the goods handled
will be looked after with the same
scientific care as at the main stations
1t is claimed that the practice Of allow
ing grocers to sell milk is a dangerous
one, as the milk is not properly looked
after, and is liable to contamination
through impure iceboxes and improper
handling, no matter how pure and good
it may be on leaving the hands of the
producer.
1t was said that several dealers who
bring their milk from Orange County
were among tho3e who were very anxi-
Gus to enter the trust, and had in fact,
been talking ABOUT making Orange
County the sole source of milk supply
for New York. The dealers who turned
deaf ear to the promoters of the trust
hold that it is impossible for milk trust
to succeed on account of the very perish
able nature of the product, for it cannot
be stored up like coal and sugar and
nails and crackers, nor can the supply be
restricted.
A dealer, who supplies the largest
hotels in New York City with milk, re-
marked that some milk is brought to New
York from a distance of 400 miles,
. further than the whole length of Eng
land, and to corner all that quantity
was an utter impossibility. The price OF
milk in New York, continued Nj
-, is as cheap as it can possibly be-
In some places on the east side it is sold
as low as cents a quart, and the In.
spectors of the Health Department are
unable to detect any sadulteratlon in it
In many houses it is delivered at cents
quart, of very fair quality, and cents
is considered very good price, except
for that which is served to wealthy resi-
dents and to the fashionable hotels, who
require the best that can be got in the
country. The farmers get 3 cents pei
quart in the Winter months and /:
e cents in Summer, and in this they find s
profit. How the trust will be able tt
pay the farmers higher prices and sci
cheaper than is done at present, and how
the trust will be able to watch the feeC
supplied to the cows, Mr. Blanck coulc
not see.
A member of one of the large whole
sale milk firms of New York City sale
after he had read about the boasts anC
promises of the trust: ''If the trus
controls only 300 diaries it does not Gu
much of figure in the market, and viii
not. We alone control over 100 diaries
and are negotiating for several more
If the trust was such a great catch fo
the diaries those with whom we ar,
negotiating would naturally hold bacl
for higher prices. but they are on TIT
contrary, anxious to make arrangement
with US to place their output in the

The merchant continued that the
~ largest wholesale milk dealers in the
city have refused to enter the trust
