Farmer Can Make Milk to Supply the Need

DR.. Fulton, speaking of the daily consump
ton of milk in Baltimore, said that 1t only
averaged half pint per person ana Inat t sa,a
amount would greatly increase in the next few
years: He went on to say thatthe cheap grad'
OF milk now being sold for five cents guar
would be driven from the market and thu
standard in general would be raised: To NEE
the demands the dairyman would have to D!
more particular with his cattle and in the hand
ling of his milk.
Mr.. Van Wagenen, in his discourse, told o
the precautions necessary in handling cattle
and milk to enable the producer to send the
best milk to the market. He spoke OF the I'M
portance of the farmer knowing all OF his cows
and the necessity of not using their milk wher
they were in an unhealthy condition. He sale

great consideration. The hygienic surround

that the stable should be kept clean, and thai
provision should be made to have plenty o.
sunlight. The care that should be taken while

THE SECOND DAY OUT.
On Saturday the start was made from Delta
and eight lectures were delivered between thai
point and Red Lion, which was the end of the
run. The party left Red Lion at 10 P. NJ. on

kind made in Maryland and tits thought much
good will result from it. The party was hos
pitably received at every stopping place ano
the general verdict was that the milk special
had been success.
A similar train, with practically the same
party, passed over the Western Mary land Rail
road on Monday and Tuesday, going by the

ON THE WESTERN MARYLAND.
A letter from Woodensburg to the Baltimore
american, dated March 9th, said: THE farm.
ers of the section where the first five stops oi
today's trip were made are anxious for some
outlet for their milk and want to know how
they can improve the quality of the same, as
there is but little milk being shipped from this
section into Baltimore, and they are obliged to
take it to the numerous creameries which are
found in this country.
From other places where talks were made
large quantities of milk are shipped to Balti'
more. The farmers along the line have become
greatly interested in the subject of the sterliz
ing of the milk cans. A large number of them
are anxious to have their cans run through q
steam sterilizer by the diaries to which they
ship before they are returned to them. This
will greatly improve the quality OF the milk by
killing bacteria in the can.
1.-THE milk producers of this section have fol
some time been trying to raise the standard Of
their milk, and have found the data for which
they have been seeking in the lectures which
were delivered by DR.. c. Hampson Jones, oil
Baltimore, and Mr.. Jared Van Wagenen, Of
New York. The speakers not only told them
how thew could increase the demand for milk,
but were told how they could produce milk
that would come up to the standard.
ION this two-day trip there were over 1900
pamphlets and circulars distributed among
those who attend the lectures. This printed
matter contained additional information along
tbelnes that were followed out by the lecturers.
They also contained hints from the railroad
company to the farmer about how to attain the
best results in the shipping of his milk
State Director Amoss was in personal charge
of both these trips.
Movement to Get Rid of Middle Men,
1t was rumored yesterday (says the Baltimore
Sun of Thursday among the commission
merchants and shippers that number OF
prominent farmers of Patapsco Neck are max
ing arrangements to form a corporation, by
which they believe it will be possible to derive
more revenue from the sale of their vegetables
and, incidentally, do away with the middle
man, or commission agent.
The farmers have not effected an organiza
ton, but the plan suggested by most of them
is to build large storage house and take thell
produce there every morning. Thus the prices
could be held within certain range, and in
case better prices were offered to ship the vege
without any trouble or delay. AS it is now
each farmer brings his produce to market ano
is compelled to take for it what is offered by
the commission merchant.
The scheme has been talked of for severa
years by the farmers, but it is said that it vii
be matter of only few months before they
will organize into an association.
How to Make Successful Sale.-Speak
ing of a recent personal property sale in How
ard county that amounted to over $780, thu
Ellicott City Times says: 1.-THE results OF thi
sale show the wisdom of good advertising. Mr.
Ramsburg instructed the Times to spend al
much as $50 in securing him crowd. No
over $40 was spent. As the sale was owe
SIS, 600, not per cent. of the proceeds went TO
advertising, yet nearly everyone in Howard
Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick and Montgomery
counties and many persons in Baltimore knew
of the sale. 1t is really foolish to have 10
of good things to sell without properly adver
Using them. You cannot get prices unless yol
have enough people to make strong competi
tive bids. People from distance come to
sale to buy and seldom go away without doini
80. while the most of the around home folk
are lockers on and by unjust criticism ant
voluntary advice do more harm than good"
