The cost of sound cattle has advanced
rs per cent. Where few years ago,
bran, a staple dairy concentrate,
could be purchased at S14 per ton,
it now costs about $50. With SINH
lar advancement in other feeds, as
we'll as in labor, it is conservative to
say that these elements in the cost of
production have doubled in recent
years.
A further and equally important
factor influencing increased cost is
the rapid increase in land values, es-
pecialIy of those lands available for
dairying. Naturally, the milk supply
must be drawn from the territory
within a certain radius to the centers
of population. Consequently, the
price that is forthcoming will deter
mine the lands that can be used and

MILK HAS NOT SOLD FOR IT'S
FULL VALUE

In recent years the cost Of labor and
food supplies has advanced rapidly
and most producers with herds of only
average economic ability have been
getting the short end of profits from
the sale of their product The ad-
vancement of the selling price has not
kept pace with the increase in cost,
and consequently, dairymen have Of

ter milk with considera BILE we'll found

1894 the cost of labor has increased
100 per cent; the installation of new
appliances and new equipment for
the proper handling of milk 20 per
cent; and feed in general so per cent.

MILK PRODUCTION
Elements That Enter Into the
Important Problem.

is already we'll known by those who
are following the trend of modern ten
denotes in the production and OF hand
ling milk for direct consumption.
From the financial ami especially the
pubic health point of view it is ma
tional problem and is absorbing the
attention of thinking men and women
everywhere. While most forms of food
have in recent years come more or less
completely under the supervision of
the pure food authorities, no one form
has given them so much anxiety as
the milk supply. Certainly their eff
forts in controlling the sanitary feat.
ures of other food supplies have met
with m lre success than those directed
towards the dairy and its product.
The reason for this is not hard to find.
The problem is complex one.
Unlike some other forms of produc-
ton, dairying does not yield readily
to Capitalization. Its separate units
are had to tit into a sy mrathetic or
ganization.
The local and special demands of
each farm makes it's successful opera
ton largely a problem by ITSELF and
to this extent so far has prevented any
considerable number of farms being
operated in accordance with any plan
or scheme of Capitalization. The
points of view. training, methods,
and aims of the operators have lacked
so much in uniformity that the pro-
duct has been made more difficult to
control. Methods Of inspection and
control as used in other lines have
often met with uncertain results when
applied to the milk supply. Further.
the attitude of producers in general,
and the training and personality OF
the Inspector as we'll, are to be con-
sidered. At best, it has been long
range effort associated with many
serious difficulties though much pro-
gress has been made. The subject OF
milk production is too large to com
pass in one paper 1t is my desire
therefore, to consider few of the
economic features of the business
that tend to encourage or discourage
the production of more acceptable
grades of milk.
There are numeI Gus organizations
to promote better methods among
milk producers. In order that their
efforts may be more fruitful, their
recommendations must point the way
to greater profits for the producer.
Nothing educates so effectively as an
increase in price. In the butter pro-
ducing industry we are now confront
ed with an aggrevating situation as
regards appreciation for the quality
in cream deliveries. The competition
has been so strong for cream of any
quality that the respect of the pro-
Queer for proper sanitary provisions
has been we'll nigh destroyed. With
the knowledge that poor stuff COM
mands the same price as good ma
terIal, he has lost interest in main
tanning high standards. This en-
phasizes the necessity for price rec
ignition in order to attract and hold
quality and is applicable to the i'm
provement of the milk supply. any
effort to improve the milk supply

told of DR.. Dakin hearing noise while

The minister opened his eyes to dis
cover the cause, and saw a red-haired
boy clutching the railing on the front
edge of the gallery, while a venerable
deacon clutched the boy. At last the
balustrade gave way, and boy and dea-
con fell with crash. The deacon then
led the boy out of the meeting house,
and swishing sounds, accompanied by
walls, were soon heard from the region
of the horse sheds.
