MILK TO GO UP AGAIN.
Farmers Predict 1t Will Be Dearel
This Winter Because Of Dearth
OF Fodder.

) New Haven, Sept. 19.-The farmers
about this section say that the price
of milk which has on two or three
different occasions this summer taken
a rise, will soar again this winter be-
cause of the dearth of fodder that is
anticipated this winter. The last
heavy frost that fell practically put
the kibosh on the corn stalks which
form large part of fodder supply
for the cattle during the winter. If
the frost had held off for little time
longer there would have been oppor-
tunfty to gather the stalks before they
were damaged, and a great saving in
the supply would thereby have re-
suited.
