BoRDEN's PRICES HIGHEST EVER. Farmers Generally Pleased With the
 Price for the Coming Six Months.

The Bordens hung up their price schedule at their plants in Orange and Sussex counties early Wednesday morn- ing. These announcements were anx- iously looked forward to, for they meant much to many of Lne farmers. In fact, most of the milk sold in Sussex county today is on the Borden schedule. While there are some creameries on the Ex- change plan in this county, the greater majority sell on the Borden schedule. The prices knock sky high the preten- sions of the Exchange, and they will have to go some if they reach the Bor- ders this winter. These prices are in the main satisfactory and were well received by the farmers. If the farmers now do not get foolish and rush off and add lot of new cows for which they must pay big prices, they will stand to make some money this winter. The farmers naturally looked for an advance over last winter. but not to this extent. They are the highest ever paid by this corporation. It will naturally mean higher prices to the consumer. The average price per 100 pounds is $1.96 2-3. The average price per can for the six months is s1.67 1-6 Following is the table of prices and comparative nripec.
