It is, however, explained that cows appreciate music and yield more freely and generously of milk when their attention is thus heid.'' This brings up the burning question why, such being the case, they might not give down yet more freely and higher music? If the Victro.a helps. might not the actual voice of a Cafuso or a Sembrich, the personal
 playing of PaderewSki or a WienaW-
 ski help still more? It is feared that
 this Denver mans dream has rift in
 it, right here. How can he claim that
 he has realized perfection, till he has
 substituted for his canned music at
 fifty cents a plate the real triHs and
 warbles of a iesh-and- blood virtuose.

 dollars warble?
 However. one ought not to be carp

 by the difference between canned music and fresh music, it is to be
 noted from the advertisement in
 question that the facts set forth about
 this realized dream dairy are so set forth with the distinct and admitted
 purpose of proving to the milk con-
 sumers of Denver that they ought to
 victroia induced milk, eIicited from
 vacuum cleaned udders by twice
 day-bathed milkmen.
 The idea is that they are to pay thSR Is cents quart because the milk is so good and pure and music ally inclined: but. even more clearly, that they are to pay said 15 cents to the dairyman himself. and not to some third or fourth hand handler in the city.
 This seems to indicate that this particular dairyman is something more than a mere dreamer. He appears to have 8 siza'ble fact by the tail and to be pulling it his way
 Since there are people who want milk produced in a COW palace and under the influence of enameled walls, yentilating fans, vacuum cleaners and Victrolas, and who are willing to pay double price for it, why in the name of common business sense. shouldn't they have their tastes gratifieE1?
 Furthermore, if they are willing to pay double-price why isn't it again simple business sense on the part of the dairyman to secure that double pA1Oe 4VI 4Alo Oo II pOthSt W uN SItOU1d he divide it up with a lot of mere handlers along the way or in town?
 To tell the honest truth. it's just that point connected with this dream dairy which has interested me most. It may have had it's inception in vision, and it may be carried out with a whole lot of frills and fol- de-rol, but it, has a. plain, common sense streak in it, for all that.
 It is managed and advertised and made a show place of, for the ulti- mate purpose of bringing to the own CTS own account the extra price some people are willing to pay for frills and foi-de-rol. If there is anybody con- nected with the whole milk business who deserves that extra price it is the working dafryman at the dairy farm. If it is to be paid to anyone it ought to be paid to him. Here in the effete east there are a fair lot of rich 'uns who want to pay Is cents a quart for milk with a few more guar antees and a few more brags attach ed than go with the common stuff. The trouble is that they are paying it, now, not to the dairyman who pro vides the fancy fluid. but to . gang of handlers and tolI-takers who pro- vide nothing,-exCept a tin-cup and an unlimited supply of gall.
