Demand Constantly Growing
and Price Steadily Rising.

The recent conference Of fifty or sixty physi-
clans and half dozen health officers at the
Academy Of Medicine regarding the question of
a clean milk supply for New York City draws
attention the fact that this city has milk
problem which is like its problem The
action of the MIX Exchange last Wednesday in
raising the price to be paid to the farmers for
milk TO three and three quarter cents a quart
price which has been paid only twice before
since 1898 is another evidence of the existence
of problem
II is said that the inhabitants of New York
drink six times much milk the people OF
London. The problem is where to get the milk
TO satisfy the growing thirst for that fluid. The
milk dealers only two remedies for the con-
dition which confronts the city. These are TO
raise the price paid to the farmer sufficiently to
persuade him TO add to his herds and the inven-
lion Of practical milking machine TO fill the
gap between the supply of and the demand for
farm help. Every drop of the millions of quarts
of milk that required daily has to be
squeezed from the COW by hand. 1t is consid-
cred almost inevitable that the retail price OF
bottled milk viii go up to nine or ten cents
quart within a year, owing TO the greater cost
OF milk.
The increase in the milk thirst of the people
of the New York metropolitan area, which is
what is meant by the dealers when they speak
of the New York milk market is remarkable
Twenty years ago. IN October. this market used
4,915650 gallons. Last October the inhabitants
Of this area drank and otherwise used IA 2525SO

Bryant Park 10 tyo-thirds its capacity. In Oc-
tober. 1895 the quantity consumed 1926,

average daily requirements. To-day more than
a million IN addition would he needed. for now
the amount consumed is I952.l20 quarts. gain
Of more than 100 per cent in fourteen years. Al
most much milk has been used in the nine
months of this year terminating October 81 as
used in the entire year 1904.
n Tl1a has civ he ipai-
ers something think about They have been
obliged 10 figure out ways of getting more milk.
Every locality reached by railroads within
radius Of four hundred miles of New York is
being c2nvassed. North of Albany the New
York dealers competing with the Boston
dealers for the milk of that region. Milk is now
being brought from "A place in Northern New
York a. miles away. one well known milk
company, in its desire to be assured of a supply
to meet the increased demands of its trade has
recently established more than a score of milk
stations in different parts Of the available terri
tory where at the time of establishment there
was only moderate quantity to be secured,
and 1t WAS certain that the stations would be
run at loss for a year at least. 1t hopes TO

BETTER THAN EVER.

The milk served to the people of New York
has been improved in the last two years to a
marked degree, according to the figures of the
Department of Health. In the first three-quar-
ters Of last year 10000 inspections were made.
500 samples Of milk were taken for testing at
the laboratories IS 400 quarts of milk destroyed
and 700 arrests made. III the corresponding
period this year $1,000 inspections were made
T001 samples taken, 300 quarts poured into
the sewers and only 515 arrests made. Last
year $4,000 was received in fines for adultera-
ton OF milk. SO far this year the fines have
have been nearly two hundred fewer arrests and
a decrease IN fines of several thousand dollars,
notwithstanding the greatly increased efforts Of
the department
That there are still tricks in the trade which
have not been eliminated by the strict measures
of the Health Department is evident from the

PLAN FOR RECIPROCITY IN BRAINS.

he states, If an agency Of propagation of knowl-
edge of American institutions can be established
in Buenos Ayres to provide an immense mass or
material which will be Instructive to the people
of the South American republics. This centre
IN the leading city of the continent would, Dr.
Strong predicts, become the source of many
phanthropic activities At the same time 1t
would demonstrate to prominent landowners
employers and manufacturers of Argentina that
improvement along social and industrial lines
is attended by material success.
Still another man who is taking keen interest
in this project for cooperation between educa-
tional institutions of the two continents is En-
nesto Nelson, a special commissioner Of educa-
ton this country from the Argentine govern
ment and correspondent Of the we'll known
Buenos Ayres newspaper, La Nacton.' Mr.
Nelson, who has been spending some months in
Eastern Massachusetts in a study of schools of

astcally that the plan. If successfully carried

little label on the bottled product Of some of the
milk companies containing the word Pas
teurized." Pasteurzing means heating the milk
a certain temperature. This serves to XIII
any germs which il may contain, and because
of this keeps the milk sweet for a longer period.
Two reasons given for this PasteuriZation.
An official of the Department OF Health declared
that it done to raise the cream line"
People like to see a lot of cream at the top Of
the milk bottle when they take it from the
dumbwaiter in the morning. If they chance to
see that the milk served TO the neighbor across
the shaft by a different dealer seems to nave
more cream they may conclude that the neigh
Dor is securing better milk. and that their
own milk dealer is not providing as good. A
change is made and perhaps the milk is
marked ''Pasteurized." Heating the milk is said
by the Health Department officials to separate
the cream from the milk more thoroughly than
does unaided graVitaton. There is not neCes-
sarily more cream in one bottle than IN the
other but the milk and The cream are more
thoroughly separated in one than i'm the
other
The other reason was given by large dealer
in bottled milk, who does not "Pasteurize'' his
stock Those companies said he. who Pas

gued that the public ought to know what it was

Several of the suggestions regarding the sale
of milk In New York made by the conference
were of sweeping nature. 1t was suggested
that the sale of skinned milk. now prohibited
in any form, be permitted under certain restric-
tions. but not in retail stores, where whole milk
is sold 1t was also recommended that moth
ing should be sold in connection with milk ex-
cept other dairy products and sealed package
goods; that where milk Is sold in grocery stores
separate booths should be provided for the milk
and that all attendants both for cleanliness and
the moral effect on those purchasing milk,
should wear washable white suits and cans
