MILK AND THE MILK TRUST

To the Editor of The Farmeri
 In New York the milk trust has been paying the producer two cents and charging the consumer 12 cents for a quart of milk.
 The farmer must have more money for his milk because as it has been definitely proved by investigations made by both the Federal and state authorities, it Is costing him more to produce it thanshe is getting for it.
 Milk is not only perfectly ball anced food ration but it is the cheap est form of nutriment we have. A quart of milk in actual food value is equal to three-quarters of a poui { of beef, or eight eggs, or two pounds of chicken, or one pound of ham.
 John .. Dillon, commissioner of the New York State Department of Foods and Markets, said in last Sundays Sun: T.
 "Our plan calls for the formation of local associations of milk producers in every part of the state. Each local association may be legally appointed as the agent for the sale of the milk. The local organization would then proceed to recover the implements of distribution which had passed out of the hands of the producer, for the big companies have in recent years owned even the cans in which the milk is brought to their depots. The local association must supply cans and pas- teurizers and control the shipping sta- tions. The local associations can then be federated into one central agency for the sale of milk. This organiza- tion' would not be a mere price mak- ing committed. It would be similar to the agencies established by manu- lecturers. Its business would be to know the exact cost of production. to find new and economic means of dis tribution, to educate the consuming public as to the comparative value and the comparative cheapness of milk, and to see that the consumer gets the milk at a price consistent with the cost of production and a reasonable profit. The principle on which it is proposed to operate these associations rests upon no untried and interested theory. The plan has been successfully used in several European countries especially in Denmark, and it has raised the farmers of that counf try from mere serfs to members of one of the most independent and prosperous communities in the world" In Hawleyville Monday afternoon. the Western Connecticut Milk Pro- ducers' Association has started to combat the milk trust.

 It is many parents boast that they
 have shielded their growing daughters from every care. Their soft, white hands bear evidence of their useless ness. Their conversation evinces the
 fact that they know much of pleasure
 but are strangers to useful knowledge
 Of course, young girls must have their frolics or amusements to make life worth while but, at the same time- they should be made to realize that girl ch-ms, pretty clothes, dancing.
 sports and beaux should not fill all
 their thoughts and occupy all of thelr time.
 A clever mother who has a family
 of a few interesting daughters hit upon
 plan to make them useful as well as ornamental and be the means of bring ing out the best of all there was in them of each girl in the village. She encouraged her daughters ,to get up a. Know Something Club.'' This was to bel held at their home. For the first hour of the meeting, the only subject to be discussed was some useful knowledge for the home. Girls whee-
 died their old aunties and gradmas into telling them how they used to get along with U sir few advantages. No idea was too homely to be listened to
 and jotted down in the note book of the others.
 The girl who first told that she had learned how to drive moths from 8. carpet looked frightened, thinking she would hear screams of laughter. h. stead, every girl looked the interest she felt at learning that by spreading a damp cloth or towel over the spot they inhabit and ironing the cloth the steam would kill the eggs and worms Thus embroidered, another girl, who
 had father who was physician, re-
 marked blushingly: Father says tell the girls if they know of any one who is ibedrfdden and sores have appeared therefrom that the white of an egg, a
 tablespoonful of spirits of camptor
 and teaspoonful of pulverized alum will cause them to disappear" One
 miss told her companions that per- spira ton from clothing could be re-
 moved by soaking the garments in
 strong salt water before laundering.
 She also added that old linen handker-
 chiefs should not be flung away, They were Of great use in hospitals. The
 smallest girl in the room said all she
 was able 'to find out was that irons
 would never stick to the clothes if half
 a teaspoonful of lard or kerosene was added to the starch while it was hot Such fund of useful knowledge as
 was unfolded! The girls were heartily applauded. A dainty little luncheon of
 sandwiches, iee-cream and coffee was
 served. Knowledge books were soop
 filled. Young men pleaded so hard to come and listen that they were al- lowed that privilege once a fortnight.
 This put the girls on their mettIe Ev-
 cry money-saving device from every
 source was dug up.
 The young men were so delighted
 with all they heard discussed, proving
 the thriff of the girls. that there was
