assisted to get the farmers to start ship
ping their milk to the city market. The
standard on milk Is per cent, and the
company back Of the enterprise is paying
S1.90 per 100 pounds, and for every tenth
per cent better grade, they pay 4 cents
more, or SL94 cents per hundred pounds
of milk. 1t is claimed this is equal to
about 40 cents per pound for butter, and
it will be more if your grade of milk is
higher. Several farmers fro mthe vic
Unity Of Milford are shipping their milk,
among them being B. B. Vinyard. Milk
is received each morning between $50
and $3.50 O'Clock. For the present they
receive milk at the Short warehouse, but
they will build on land recently purchas-
ed, and the business promises to grow
steadily.
