THE MILK PROBLEM.
The Government Takes a Hand In
Solving Il.

Washington, Aug 31.-The agricul.
tural department has made a contribu.
tion 10 the general discussion on the
quality Of milk supplied to cities in
the shape Of bulletin on that subject
large part Of which is devoted TO the
question of transportation The bull
letin says the agitation OF the question
OF impure milk has resulted in i'm
proved practices on the part of per
sons handling this article of food, but
there is still much room for improve
ment. For instance, attention is called
70 the fact that the ideal vessel for the
conveyance OF milk remains TO be dis.
covered. There are many cities and
towns which have no legal regulations
whatever concerning milk. The opin-
ion is expressed that the agitation II
/ the question has caused much unneces-
sary alarm. The figures show that one
thousand million gallons of milk are
sold annually and the average quan.
tity per capita consumed in the largest
cities is somewhat less than two-thirds
Of pint. The smallest consumption

one-fourth OF a pint Milk is sold from
10000 stores in New York city. or an
average one store 10 every 2s6 per.
sons, and ii is delivered from 1000
wagons. or an average OF one wagon to

population above $4,000 there is an ay.

aries. and most cities have quite a
number Of COWS kept singly for the pri-
yate use of the families owning them
The tables show a wide variation in
the prices paid for milk in different
parts of the country. Producers usual
" receive, on their farms from 2 to 3
cents per quart in the summer and )
cents or more IN winter, but these
limits arc often exceeded On the
other hand. in some cases and in some
seasons producers receive less than =

which we're just coming into bearing.
They would have a box or less of fruit
to the tree, and that would be puffy,
coarse stock, all thorned up, owing to
the branches not being held down by
the fruit. In fact, it was pretty much
all culls, and was worth very little.
One spring, when ] was fertilZing my
trees, the hired man came and told
me that he had finished applying the
fertilizer on the part of the grove in
question. l took a sudden resolution
and told the man to put on as much
more than what he had already APP
plied--that is, to double the dose. He
did so, and the next crop ran to three
or more boxes to the tree and the quail
ity was improved as much as the
quantity. There is another thing. The
good effects of the fertilizer are not
all gone with the crop for which it Is
used. If you put on enough to ma
terially help the crop you use it for,
you will see good results in the crops
that follow. The Irish potato crop Is
the crop we fertilize mainly, and we
can raise good crops of corn, COW peas,
