It is alleged that the price of milk up became the farmer gets more for it. The facts are that the farmer is getting this winter $1.37 a can of 32 quarts; that it, a little over four cents a quart. In the summer time we get $1 and sometimes 90 cents a can, or about three cents a quart. So, if the farmer could steal the milk he would not make so much profit as the dealer. He has to pay the freight also. 1 have a cousin in the city who uses four quarts a day and gets milk from a tin? 1ig company. SheljAlilwfyouJ-aUwill and some milk from I get quit price The man said: Well, you are a good customer, so I will let body else. you have it for seven cents. But dont tell anybody. My cousins doctor told her recently that she should use much milk and buy it from a certain great company which he named. Yet I dare say that the milk I deliver to a small dealer is at least as good as any milk delivered in Chicago. I wonder if some doctors are getting tips from the octopus once in a while. The average farmer is honest and will not resort to the tricks of some dealers in dairy products, wheat and the like. It is the man who pulls the wires and not the m'anwJjojjiodficcs that reaps the profits. The wheat fanners and dairvvfffrmers have their income pretty well regulated by ipScul Arts?? 'mi trusts.
