COMPETITION CONTINUES.
Boston Milk Dealers Taking Quantities
of Product from This Section,

The plan of selling milk to Boston deal
ers instead of patronizing cooperative
creameries has just been adopted by man!
Brattleboro, Dummerston and Putne,
farmers. With the adoption of the plar
has come competition between the Boston
dealers, and situation has been devel
oped, the outcome of which will be
respondent of the Springfield Republican
For years the Boston Dairy company has
run milk car over the Rutland railroad
! from Rutland to Bellows Falls, collecting
milk at the various stations and pasteur-
izing it at plant in Bellows Falls, and
then proceeding over the Boston and
Maine railroad. collecting as far south as
Winchendon, Mass. Formerly team col
ected milk for the same company in East
Putney and Westminster, delivering it at
the car in Walpole. For number of
years farmers in Putney, Dummerston
and Brattleboro attempted to induce the
Brattleboro to Bellows Falls, but because
of the expense the company declined to
do so. The past summer, however, the
farmers having failed to make deal with
the Boston Dairy company, they induced
Alden Bros of Boston to run a car from
Brattleboro to Bellows Falls, some of the
principal East Putney dairymen promis
ing to give their patronage to Alden
Bros. These arrangements were made in
August, and Alden Bros. decided to start
the car Oct. l, which was DONE Mean
while the Boston Dairy company decided
to run car from Brattleboro to meet its
other car at Bellows Falls, and that car
was put on Sept. 90 Since then hot COM

basis of the butter fat that the milk con
tains. The market price at present is 3
cents can. The Boston Dairy compan,
made an offer OF "a cents a can, but up {,
date it has not been able to secure s,
much milk by considerable in this town
Dummerston and Putney as Alden Bros
have, but 1t receives good amount from
towns on the New Hampshire side of the
river. Alden Bros. start their car from
Brattleboro every morning at 9.03. Al
present they have about 900 cans on the
arrival of the car at Bellows Falls, but
the amount is increasing every day. The
milk is mixed in the car at Bellows Falls,
and the car starts from there for Boston
at l.30. The milk is bottled in Boston
and is peddled early the following morn
ing. The number of farmers and dairy
men in the three towns mentioned who
dispose of their milk in this way is in
creasing every day, and it is expected
that the amount of milk now shipped
from those. towns will be doubled within
a short time The producers club to-
gether and pay the expenses of teams and
drivers to carry the milk to the car.
A phase of the milk question concern
ing which there is some dispute is the
question OF whether the producer gets any
more benefit in the long run from selling
his milk to Boston dealers than he would
receive through dealing with his home CO.
operative creamery. All agree that the
receipts are more, and that
tact has been of great weight in inducing
many dalrymen to transfer their patron |
age from the creameries to the Boston
dealers. In Brattleboro Is or more dairy
men have left the creamery and are send |
ing their milk to Boston. Creameries in
other towns also have lost considerable
patronage by reason of the milk cars.
Oairymen who decline to forsake the
'reameries claim that to send their milk
o. Boston is an impoverishing type of
lIairying. They argue with some force that
he check from the creamery should not
,e compared with the check from the
3oston dealer, because in the case of the
reamery he has left the skinned milk,
yproduct, which is the best and cheap
st food for pigs and calves, having a
eeding value of 40 cents per 100 pounds,
4 addition to being of special value by
eason of the fact that it contains practi-

hole milk. On the other hand, man
Tho is recognized as one of the most pro-
ressive farmers in Windham county, a
ian who has been director in cream
y association, and who has had abun-
ant experience with creameries, stated
mary run of cows as one finds them in
lie diaries, there is from so to 100 per
mt more profit in sending milk to the
oston market than there is in sending
Re cream to the creameries and retaining
e skinned milk, taking into account
e value of the SKINNED milk as fer
izer. Besides that, he says, to send it
the milk car is the easiest and cheapest
ny of handling it.

would in October and November after
the frosts have driven the birds into some
ravine or swamp containing onetenth as
much territory? Any sportsman knows
what three men and dog can do when
the grouse are huddled in with no cover
to protect them.
Why not give us an open season when
we can go out and get the most pleasure
out of it? Who cares to go hunting
when the days are short, the weather
cold, and fur coat is an actual neces
sity? If we really mean any protection
to the grouse, why not legislate to pro-
tect them rather than the gunner, for
that is all the late shooting means, and
every sportsman knows it.

ADJUSTMENTS.

Now that Julius Steger has presented
his musical dramatic sketch, The Fifth
Commandment" at the Orpheum, one
does not blame him for not giving it
Monday night when his wardrobe and
other accessories had not arrived 1t is
his careful and artistic attention to de-
tails that lends much of the charm and
enchantment to his sketch. His act is
one of the really classical productions
on the vaudeville stage. There is an at
mosphere about this sketch that attracts
and holds the audience from beginning
to end. Last night the audience, which
packed the house to capacity. was held
spelibound during the twenty-five min
utes of the act, and at the finish there
was such an outburst of applause that
the last lines of the fifth commandment
were entirely drowned out. THE Fifth
Commandment is full of sentiment and
pathos. and Mr.. Steger has surrounded
himself with a cast. each of whom seems
to be perfectly suited to the part. The
whole play is a real delight.

testimony by the federal grand jury in
the case of the United States court
against Eben J. Gregory, charged with
sweating, defaeing and passing mutiiated
United States coins. and having in his
possession counterfeting apparatus, the
general impression is that the grand jury
will take UP the investigation Of the Utah
National bank robbery at once. The Wit
nesses, nearly forty in number, have been
summoned to respond today While the
majority of the witnesses are connected
with the bank there are a number who
are not.
