At this price It nets the farmers about If Cento a quart for milk delivered at their nearest railroad station. But for five years past the‘average price has been 2 cents a quart net to the producers. The camnuDption is steadily increasing, and the dealers muafc soon enlarge their territory. They were all pleased with Tioga and Potter counties as milk-producing regions and with the railway facilities, and ultimately the y had no doubt that milk - stations will be established at variotm points in tbia section,It was ascertained upon coneultatkn with farmers at the various stations that the milk from at least 18,000 cows could be secured—12,000 cows in the Cowanee-que valley. 3,000 in the Tioga valley ando''clock with a march.

With a demand for milk at a profitableprice to farmers, the number of e wru would be increased to 40,000 or 50,000 very eoou.Mr. Peck stated to a large gathering of representative fanners at Middlebtuy that when ho was visiting some relatives in Delaware county, N. Y., recently henoticed that they were doing a profitable business in'shipping milk, while our fanners wore working harder to makebutter .and fcheese at ruinous prices Twelve quarts of rich Jersey mile will make a pound of butter. Ordinarily, however, It takes an averages of 15 quarts to make a pound of butter. At the present price of butter tbia yields the dairyman less than one cent a quart for his milk, not counting the labor of butter-making. Milk sold at 2 cents a quart he figured to be a little more than equivalent to butter sold at 25 cents a pound.These roilk-dealere, said Mr. Pock, are looking the ground'emir on this trip. It is hoped that some of them—many of themf perhaps—will some day conclude to establish milk-statlooB in this region.Firet Junior prize, $25 to William Q. Jenkins, of Charleston.

But the attention of the dealers has been diawn to these two counties, They arc pleased with our pasture-lande and water supply- They say that when they want new milk - stations this region is within reach of New York and very likely business will come our way.The representative of the Reid IceCream Company told our reporter that ;ely his Coivery likely his Company would establish this season a milk-station at some point in this county.Oar dairymen are certainly discouraged to producing 12 and 15 cent butter. Any demand for milk which will netthem a larger profit wKli certainly be ly weielt;warmly welcomed by them..

For some years past he had been seriously affected with heart-dls-eaao, yet he continued in the discharge of his duties as mining engineer and superintendent down to thfc hour of his death. He bod but juat tetbrued frota his round for the day, and fell as he alighted from hie buggy at the ham and died before medical aid could be obtained. Tlie Hcmtzdole Journal, ' speaking of his death, says :lt;v Peter Cameron was a man who was probably known as well, tf not better, throughout this entire flection than any mafi whom we could mention. He is highly spoken of by everybody, and his sudden and sad death will be extremely shocking news to his many friends and acquaintances. Mr, Cameron cam^ to Houtzdale about 26 years ago, and during all thiB time and up to his death he was superintendent for tbe BerWind-White Cool Mining Company. His vacancy in the home, in tbe community, m the Church, and the place he bo faithfully filled so long for the Berwind-already mapped out promises a new de-tnd I jrn'patture and I judge a happy surprise and grand good time at our annual picnic thefirst week in September.r.
