The farmers in the BrattIeboro sec

well arranged modern plant through
which the dairy products can be
handled in the most efficient and most
sanitary manner.

Relative to the dairy products mar
With the present lower prices for
milk and with the increase in cOnsump-
ton the markets for whole milk are in q
better condition than they have been for
some time past The condensaries in
many parts of the country arc operat-
ing again. and the present firm condi-
ton of the butter and cheese markets
is helping to readjust the market condi-
tionS on milk.
''The butter markets are i'm firm con
dition. Both fresh and held butter are
moving into trade channels at firm and
high prices. The out OF storage move
ment is large and there is a strong de-
mand at the present time on the New
York market for salt aud unsalted but
ter in % and 30-pound tubs.
Cheese has resisted the recent price
declines to a greater degree than the
other dairy products. There Is a de-
maud for high quality whole milk
cheese. The wholesale price for fresh
make cheese is 23c to dc per pound
Cheese shipped to New York should not
be colored too highly as that market
demands colorleSs cheese or a straw
colored cheese The cheese should be
shipped one in a box.
There Is a limited demand for fresh
hoop cheese at SO per can. There is no
demand for storage Pot or Bakers
cheese. Cold storage reports show that
there is 1896 900 pounds of this cheese
year"
