Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Brigham in Address
to Dairymen
SAYS THE QUALITY
HAS DETERIORATED
Says Price Can Be Increased
by Improving the
Product

Burlington, Jan. l3.-ln addressing the
Vermont Dairymen's association here to-
day, Commissioner of Agriculture Il. >.
Brigham said:
"The dairy cows of Vermont earn each
wear from $l5,000,000 to $20,000,000 and
the money is distributed so that all
classes of people are benefited thereby,
"While we may with profit develop
other lines OF agricultural activity it is
highly important that the dairy industry
be encouraged because it enables us to
keep up the fertility Of our farms, to
obtain profit from our rough pasture
lands, and to provide productive employ
ent during the winter months.
"We may better conditions by de-
creasing the cost of production and
should look to the state agricultural col
lege and experiment station to show us
how to do this. We may also make
dairying more profitable by improving
marketing conditions.
"The shipment of milk to large elt4es
and its distribution is a complicated
problem, and while the Boston Chamber
Of Commerce and the New England Mix
Producers association may be able to as
sist us in getting better price for milk,
yet the price will probably be governed
by supply and demand and contractors
will buy milk as cheaply as farmers are
willing to sell it.
For the purpose OF giving the milk
contractors more competition and put
ting the farmers in position where they
can have voice in the price they viii
take for milk, our creameries should be
developed and strengthened, more butter
made and the skim milk be used to grow
calves and pigs.
"Our creameries may be developed by
improving the quality of butter made |
and finding a market for that butter
which will pay the highest price. 1t is
said that the quality of Vermont butter
has deteriorated under the present sys-
tenn of using farm separators. There is
no doubt but that careIessness in hand |
ling cream results in loss to Vermont |
farmers annually of a sum which would |
make the increase in state expense seem
in comparison. At very lit.
tie expense of time and money this could |

be obyiated but farmers say that IL does
not pay them because under the present
system of creamery management good
cream and poor cream are mixed togeth-
en- and bring the same price.
I'VE can only improve conditions by
devising system whereby those who
participate in the production and man.
ufacture of butter, both farmers and
creamerymcn, may receive a reward for
careful work. As solution OF this
problem we should adopt brand, safe
guarded by legislation and bearing the
seal OF the state Of Vermont, which
creameries complying with regulations
prescribed by the commissioners of agrl-
culture will be allowed to use.
Denmark and Holland have given
their dairy products a worldwide repu-
tation by the adoption of a government
brand In this country the state of Min
nesota has adopted a brand and the
states of Iowa and South Dakota are
about TO do so. The requirements for
the use of the brand are briefly as fol-
lows:
81. Score of butter to be 94 nine times
out of IL at scoring conducted by the
state agricultural college
SO. Score of butter never to be below
%.
%. Factory 10 score 30 or better.
"a. Farm diaries to score so points ac
cordin gto score cards provided by the
of agriculture.
IS. Cream pasteurized in accordance
with directions
49, Cream received must be sweet and
shall not test over OF per cent acid.
~ Neutralizers not allowed.
49, When license is granted list of pat
sons must be furnished with address.
80 Factory must report numbers of
pounds manufactured each month
40. A representative of the commits
gioner Of agriculture to be allowed ac-
,ess to the creamery at any time for |
purposes of inspection supervision of /
.esting Of cream or milk samples, or ex-
animation of accounts
"The compliance with these require
nents by number OF our creameries
would raise the quality of Vermont but
err to the highest standard, would add
0 its price in the market and would lead
o the development of healthy com.
edition which milk contractors would
ave to meet and would, therefore, in
rease the prosperity of all dairymen

any part OF its water supply to private
water companies and that the municipal
ity also is legally justified in charging
most any rate for its water when sold
TO consumers OF this type, is the gist OF
an exhaustive opinion submitted by City
/ Attorney Scott az the request OF the wa
ter committee. At the outset Mr.. Scott
states that there is no precedent for
such an opinion in any of the state re-
| ports. although eminent law counsel In
America have uttered opinions that CO.
! incide with his own views. Parallel to
/ the case in hand, however. is a citation
which involves the attitude OF a railruad
company toward an express company IN
the matter of handling express. Prece-
dent of a certain kind is also found in
the common sense reason that the city
Il not bound 10 furnish a commodity to
company that is competing in the bus
mess OF puryeying the same commodity.
Carrying his argument farther. Mr.. Scott
gives Il as his opinion that the city may
classify it, customers according to the
amount Of water used, circumstances Of
purchase, etc, and then charge rates
consistent with its own discretion. The
report was accepted and ordered filed.
Various monthly reports were received
from several departments and accepted
with one exception. Superintendent Rey-
nolds' December report for the water De.
partment was found 20 contain a slight
error and il was returned 10 him for
corrections.

USEFUL GARDEN TOOL
New Convenience for the Worker
In Truck Patch.
Many Labor.savino Implements De

One Of Latest 10 Hoe, With
Seed Box. on Handle,

The activity of the inventor Is max
Ing the life on the farm SO attractive
that 1t is he who in . great measure
has been responsible to the "back-to'
the-soil'' movement. The Introduction
Of some of the greater conveniences
have really brought the outlying farm
much nearer to the centers Of civiliza.
ton and, being within easy reach Of
the cities. the tendency to leave the
farm has been largely overcome.
In minor degree smaller inventions
have been the means of removing a
great deal of the drudgery from the
activities of country suburban life.
For instance, the man who wants to
operate little truck patch can do SO
much more readily now than few
years ago ON account Of the many la.
bor.saving tools and implements which
have been devised for his assistance.
One of the latest of these is hoe
for seed planting which dispenses with
the back-breaking business of placing
the seeds In the holes that have been
made for their reception.
This implement has a seed box
mounted on its handle just over the

TO PRODUCE SANITARY MILK
Some old-Fashioned Farmers Con.
tinue' to Use Open PaiI-7rush
Cow Thoroughly Daily.


: Only those back-number farmers who
either fall to profit by the lessons
taught in producing sanitary milk. or
who have never learned such lessons,
y continue to milk In The old-fashioned,
open pail, into which falls filth from
the cows TANKS. and which allows the
milk to absorb all the odors that sur.
round 1t.
BY the use Of sanitary milk pals.
dirt can be kept out Of the milk. and
that is the main thing
It is much easier to produce pure
milk by keeping the dirt out Of it than
to attempt to take it out after 1t has
fallen in.
But the sanitary milk pail alone will
not give us clean milk. The cows must
be thoroughly brushed every day, and
their udders washed and dried just be-
fore milking. The milking must be
done in absolutely clean sheds, or in
the open, preferably on grass plot,
and the milk removed to clean
house, where it can be quickly cooled.
One of these things ia, good enough
in it's way, but all must be observed

SKINNED MILK FED TO HOGS
Carries Bone and Teeth Making Ma
teriaI for Animals-Liabie to
Cause Constipation.

One hundred pounds of SKINNED
milk has a feeding value equivalent
to one-half bushel of corn. One hun
dred pounds of skinned milk is worth
five times the price paid per pound
for live hogs. and whey is worth
about one-half as much as SKINNED
milk.
Milk carries the bone and teeth
making material for animals. When
the cream is extracted from it, il
throws it out of balance to some ex.
tent. and tends to cause constipation
This can easily be remedied by intro
ducing a little oil cake meal that re
places the fat at less than two cents
pound. instead Of the butter which
is worth so cents per pound.

PLAIN QUESTIONS TO
BUTLER PEOPLE
Every Butler Reader Will Admit the
Soundness of the Logic

Would Butler people recommend
Doan''s Kidney Pills as they do if the
medicine were not reliable? Would
they confirm their statements after
years have elapsed iftheir experiences
did not show the remedy to be de-
serving of it? Statements like the
following must carry conviction to
the mind of every reader:
M. S. Clay, 2ll N. High St., Butler,
No., says: II had lumbago and was
also bothered by the irregular pas
sagesofthe kipney secretions. When
suffering intensely, I got box of
Doan's Kidney Pills at Clay's Drug
Store and they soon brought me re-
lief. l can add nothing to my former
endorsement of Doan's Kidney Pills
except to say that l am still in good
health, although well along in years.

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

FEEDING cow GRAIN RATlONS
Where Animal Is Running Down IL
Flesh More Corn and Oil Meal
May Be Given.

Time is too valuable for the average
dairyman to balance an individual ra.
ton for each COW.
The usual plan is to mix up grain
ration for the herd and feed of it &C.
cording to the production of the indi.
vidual COW.
In special cases additional grain
feeds may be fed according to certain
cows needs, such as giving a COW
that is running down in flesh little
cornmeal and adding oil meal or some
other high protein feed when a COW
begins to lay on considerable fat.
