Testimony of Others.

Another dealer said he was putting
out special milk containing about
5 per cent butter fat, which he buys
at 20 and 25 cents gallon and sells
at cents per pint and 10 cents per
quart.
"A third dealer said he had at one
time sold what he called a special
milk. but had discontinued it because
he didn't like to fake the public
DIR. Woodward said that as a result
of it's experience his department had
determined to ignore the special milk
in the future. Each dealer would be
allowed to have his own. brand if he
liked, but not to designate something
as special that was not. In theory,
it was agreed. special milk is pre-
sumed to be high in butter fat con-
tents and low in bacterial count DIR.
Woodward's expression vaguely con-
veyed to your committee that special
milk was much more apt to be special
milk because il was labeled special"

Rule Which Proved Satisfactory.

Or Woodward told the committee of
the experience of Wichita. Kan. which
some years ago adopted rule requiring
understanding was that the plan was so
well organized that it proved highly ef-
fective.
The Importance of this problem of bot
ties has been increased by the fact that
like nearly everything else. they have
been steadily growing more expensive.
PINT bottles. formerly bought as low as
S2.50 per gross, have recently been quot
ed at $40: quart bottles, which not so
very long ago cost $3.0S. are now quoted
at from s4.35 to SIS per gross. Even the
cost of bottle shoppers has advanced
from l6 cents per thousand to % cents
per thousand.
1T has been said that from one-half to
three-quarters of the milk distributed in
Washington is classed as wholesale milk
tailed directly to the consumer by the
milkmen. The bulk of this direct dis
trlbution sells at 8 cents per quart So
called special milk is sold at 10 cents,
II cents and still higher.
The committee made special ef-
fort to determine what special milk
is. The dealers were exceedingly
frank about it, One said that special

Health officer Quoted.

Health Officer Woodward has eX-
planned the law to US and regulations
regarding milk bottles, indicating that
there is a serious inefficiency at this
point. The law prohibits any person
other than the buyer of the contents
to use the bottle. The effect of this is
that one milk man may not use an
other milk mans bottle, but the house
wife who has bought the milk in the
bottle can use the bottle TO put up
preserves, to hold bouquet or to pune
ture the tires of offensive automoblles
that go past her house.
About two and half years ago the
health department prepared very com
plete regulations dealing with this bottle
problem which were submitted to the
milk dealers and were generally regarded
as likely to prove efficacious. They pro
vided that the customer must thoroughly
to take away uncleaned bottles. 1t was
forbidden to throw away bottles and was
even provided that only persons licensed
by the District government to do so
might remove them at all.
These regulations were never adopted
by the board of District Commissioners.
Your committee recommends that meas
ures be taken. in cooperation with the
dealers. to reopen this subject with the
Commissioners and secure the promulga-
ion of these or other regulations dealing
viii this question.

Cost of Production Shown.

The convention was presented with
many interesting figures on the cost of
milk production. gathered before the
war in Europe. which has raised SO
many ofethe costs which figure in milk
production. For instance. the conven-
tion was told that the late Mr. Voor-
hees, who was director of the New Jer-
sey experiment station in 1908 calcu-
lated that the cost of producing milk
was 4.SS cents per quart. Other pro-
duction figures were given to the con-
vention in a report, in part, as follows:
The Ma massachusetts, experiment sta
tion as the result of a very careful
study of it's own herd over a period of
sixteen years. from 1895 to 1911, inclu
sive. found that it's costs averaged 5.45
cents per quart. This was for produc-
ing milk whose butter fat tests aver
aged s5.07, mainly the product of Jer
seys. with some Holsteins and Ayr
shires.
The New Hampshire experiment sta
tion summarized the result from three
COW tests associations involving TAI
cows Of mixed breeds, with the conclu-
sion that for feed alone the milk rep
resented 2-17 cents per quart. The
same authority on the basis of 203
yearly records from twenty-six herds
found the cost per quart of milk in 1911
3.15 cents

New York Summary.

The New York agricultural expert

1913, studied Ia farms in Delaware
county. New York. involving 5,308 cows
in 1912 and 5000 in 1913. They were Of
mixed breeds. Jerseys and Holsteins
predominating. 1t was found that the
net cost per quart of milk in 1912 was
81. and in 1913 ~ cents. This very
thorough series of tests is particularly
illuminating at this time because it
shows a fuctuation of = cents per
quart in the space of one year. We be-
iieve il is safe to assume that if there
was SO wide a difference between 1912
and 1913 there is a still wider difference
between either of those years and 1916.

Its conclusions on the performance of
124 cows. They were Jerseys, Guern-

cost per quart of milk was found to be
precisely cents.
