WHY THE MILK SUPPLY IS SHORT.
A NEW YORK LADY ADVANCES SOME
 SENSIBLE IDEAS.

MT Editor: Enclosed l send you a clipping from the Tri-Weekly Tribune that presents the case of the milkman so truthfully I did not know but you would publish it in THE VIEWPOINT BEE. The woman who wrote it has struck the nail on the head. It is true, every word of it.-[*x*
 Sir: I saw in The Fri Weekly of Wednesday an article on milk, to which I have fancy to reply. You speak of the supply not being up to the average. live in the heart of the milk producing district of Orange county, and know whereof I speak. There are several causes First, the high price of feed, from $26 to $50 ton here. Second, the scarcity-in fact, almost impossibility-of procur- ing help on farm, and the wages they demand for incompetent work. Third, the short hay crop for the last few years, which is large factor in the whole. Then the creamery man takes off from one-quarter to one-half cent quart, according to the season, from the exchange price-or New York price, as it is termed-which price is lower at any time than the milk can be made on the farm except at loss. Many farmers in my locality have sold off their dairies and gone out of business rather than get no return for the labor and capital, and others will do so unless there is change for the better soon.
 As the matter now stands the mid dleman makes the profit and waXeS rich, while to add to the gravity of | the situation farm lands have so great ly depreciatcd in value that the most of the farmers are Hand poor"-have good farms on which forced sale would not realize one-fourth Of the money invested. This is the plain, unbiased situation, as far as my knowledge and observation extend, and this is only one of many communi- ties, who find at the end of the month that when the hired man and feed bill are paid there IS nothing left for the farmers and their families.
 Add to this the taxes and an ex- cessive school tax-and that comes mostly on the farmers-and you will begin to have some insight into the situation, and cease to wonder that farms are abandoned and the young men flock to the city, where at least they get fair return for their labor.
