PRICE OF MILK.
In Stamford and Adjoining Region.

In Stamford and Adjoining Region.
 At recent meeting of the milk-pro- ducers of Stamford and vicinity farm CTS were present from Long Ridge, High Ridge, Springdale, New Canaan, North Stamford and other regions of milk production The unanimous sen timent of the meeting was that with the present extraordinary prices of grain it was impossible to sell milk at four cents a quart and make a profit. Indeed, several dairymen averred that their herds were not averaging milk enough to pay for the grain ration alone. One small dairy of seven cows eight quarts for the herd. A neighbor with the same number of cows reported a total of eight and a half quarts. These men were feeding from five to eight pounds of grain per COW per day, cost ing eight to twelve cents per COW. A ten-cow dairy. reported that nights milking as sixteen quarts. A forty COW dairy reported an average of only five quarts per COW. As it now costs in hay and grain about 20 to 25 cents a day to feed COW, not to mention the cost of labor, carriage to town and wear and tear, depreciation of live stock, etc, the bad state of the milk producers is meeting that an advance of but half a cent q quart, making four anda- half at retail, should be made at present

THE OLD TOWN DYING.

| He ITluDlpHl MOuTHeTS.
 | The old town of Waterbury is dying The
 number of her remaining days Is seven.
 Having lived in four centuries the old town gives up the ghost on the threshold of the twentieth For fear that there may not be tears at the death bed, save those that the holders of town offices brew, it Is fitting to jog the public memory. The town of Water bury will die by due process of law That is the way high criminals die, with their boots on and with stop watch to count off their last moments But that does not leave one 10 infer that the town of Water- bury has been entirely bad. As q matter of fact, thcrchas been some good and some bad ill her character. There has been no painful parting with the old town as yet. Mortimer Doran. as first selectman, will hold the hand of the corporate deceased at the close of her existence just as he has fondled 1t for more than year past. Second Sclectman Disley will hold the cor porate ady's other hand and the minority member of the board of selectmen will hold whatever hecan get hold of, probably not much. Dr. Galley as town physician will keen tabs of the patients pulse till the New Year bells ring the town into the city. but it's dollars to doughnuts that he does not file q death certificate with the town clerk As things look now 1t does not seem likely that the mourners will go T great while about the streets. possibly not long enough to attend the funeral, As in the case of most wealthy decedents the town bids fair to leave q lot of unholy heirs to her estate
 If you don't believe it watch the line of men who go to the city hall these days seeking to have the mayor put something in their Christmas stocking.
 Unknd rumor has it that First Select man Doran. while consoling the last mo ments of the Waterbury towns life, has been making goo goo eyes at the position of superintendent of charities. Like enough some of the other fellows on the town end of the City hall have been making eyes too. All outside the family and intimate friends are anxously watching to see what may come out of individual tltrtations with city offices may come to anyhow.-Water- bury American, Dec. 2d.
