FIFTEEN CENT MILK
LIKELY IN NEW YORK
Cent md n Half Increase Demanded By
Farmers for October and November.

New York, Sept. 16.-New York may
have to pay Is cents a quart for milk
because the D~airymen's League last week
decided to increase the price on con-
tracts will dealers for October and
November about a cent and a half more
a quart.
The action of the Dairymen's League
was taken at the expiration of the six
months contract with the dairymen of
the eastern section-New York. Pennsyl-
vania. New Jersey, Connecticut. Massa-
chusetts and Vermont. Six months ago
the league increased the price of milk
to dealers on an average of one and
one-ffth cents n quart, which precipitated
a general increase in the retail prices
all over the eastern section.
CONTRACTS FOR 60 DAYS ONLY.
The new contracts for milk supply
from dairymen now will be made for
two months ahead, instead of for six
months. This is the concession the dairy
men make to the food e%xigencies. At
the end of the two months they will be
in a position to raise the price of milk
again. The unofficial schedule of the
new prices is as follows:
The dealer to pay the dairymen .O6S6 a
quart. That is. $40 a hundred pounds
for October and 1894 for November for
milk in the first zone containing three
per cent. butter fat. This milk will bear
a premium Of four cents a point for the
excess butter fat. This schedule Is sub
Ject to the new freight rate.
The first zone mentioned is the terri
tory within 100 miles of New York. And
the premium of four cents a point for
the excess butter fat Is a half a cent
increase over the rate fixed six months
ago.

Mrs. Lyman Allen. in charge Of the
supply work of the Burlington branch
OF the Red Cross, has sent word to the
State headquarters of the chapter that
the Burlington branch will undertake to
supply the drafted men who are to leave
Burlington tomorrow with comfort bags,
sweaters. sewing material and pajamas
to those who desire them. These articles
are now ready for the men n 1t only
remains to see that they reach each man
before he leaves. If m Of the men
who have been drafted, inc are to leave
the city tomorrow, do not receive their
equipment from the Red Cross before
the farewell banquet this evening, they
should make application for the same in
order that they may not have to leave
without them. There is a sufficient
number on hand to supply the Burling-
men. and it is not the intention of the
committee to ALLOW any of them to leave
without these camp comforts.
1t Is the wish of the State headquarters
that each branch Of the Red Cross in
the State furnish the men in that vicin-
tty who are leaving soon in response
to the draft call with comfort bags,
ETC.. as the Burlington branch is doing.
In order to get these things to the boys
Of Chittenden county before they leave
Tomorrow. 1t will be necessary for the
branches In the surrounding towns of
the county to do some hustling. Every
man from the county should be supplied
with these Red Cross comforts before
he leaves. n the State headquarters
Is looking to other towns in the county
to respond to this need in the same way
that the Burlington branch is doing.

ASIDE TWO
WHEATLESS DAYS
Food Commissioner HARNESS
Names Wednesdays and
Thursdays.

Montpelier, Sept. 1S.-vermont Food
Commissioners anne HARNESS has set
aside two wheatless days In common
with the food commissioners OF the
other New England States. These
will be Wednesdays and Thursdays OF
each week until further notice. This
action is taken as a result Of the con-
ference of the foo commissioners re-
Gently held in Boston. 1t is proposed
to substitute other kinds Of bread for
white bread that the wheat used ordi-
narly for that purpose may be sent to
Europe.
This. 1t has been found, will not
cause much inconvenience for the COM
m~issioners have the statement of Com
missioner Endicott of Massachusetts,,
who reported to the conference that the
people of Massachusetts co-operated
generously when asked to recently for
a weeks denial of wheat bread, and he
found the public approval was ener-
ally given. In Vermont the wheatless
days will be commenced September 26
and continue Wednesdays and Thurs
days until further notice, which will
probably mean until the end Of the
war.
This plan is spreading throughout
the country very fast according to the
reports received by the commissioner
and it is anticipated that Vermont will
be as loyal in this as she is on all other
phases of the war.
