THE MILK SUPPLY OF CANADA'S CAPITOL More than ten thousand gallons of milk produced daily by officially in- spected eqWv, are required to supply the citizens of Ottawa. An addi- tional large amount is required to provide the butter and ice cream consumed daily within the city. The milk supply is of the highest order because every drop of it 'i.e either pasteurized or from tuberculin test- ed cows that are above suspicion. Ninety per -cent, of the milk supply is produced within a radious of twelve miles. It is brought in principally by motor truck, a small quantity only arriving by wagons. The remaining ten per cent, reaches the city by train. Ninety per cent, of the milk supply is furnished by two companies, the Ottawa Dairy Company and the Pro- ducers' Dairy Company, the rernaind- er by a number of smaller vendors. From whatever source the milk comes, it is of the same high euality, as it mut conform to the high sten- s, dardetof both the 'provincial Act gov- erning the production and sale of milk for human consumption, and the requirements of the federal Municipal Tuberculosis Order. Ottawa's milk, unlike that sold in some 'cities, is not standardized. It is sold as it comes from the cow, but must not fall below 3.25 pep cent, of fat and 8:5 per cent, of solids not fat. Heretofore milk was purchased from the producers by the handred- weight, regardless of the quality. Since the change it:is paid for on a , butter fat tem..: 'IConsequently the dairymen who supply the high test- ing milk receive 'Lite financial ad- vantage of the increased amount of fat. This method, in addition to re- warding the dairy farmers for im- protving the quality of their milk, has greatly improved the milk sup- ply of.Ottawa. The two large dairy companies have set 3.5 Per • cent. butter fat as their standard and pay the full price of $2.10 per cwt. for milk testing at that rate. For eVerF decimal point point of fat over , this standard the Orfulticer receives 'three cents extra. ',Tinekpriitiuder lattpplying 1* below ittaisd* hi; Penalized by losing an equal amount for each point under standard. While this system has not been in force long enough to bring about any radical changes in the qual- ity of the milk supplied, it gives promise of most excellent results. Farmers with heavy milking herds have learned that quantity is not everything and some of them have' been compelled to lose their respect for what, they believed to be their best animals. The question of intro- ducing blood of breeds noted for milk has been considered by some but very little change in this direction has taken place; the removal of the low testers being considered a more desirable method of overcoming the difficulty. At the request of a breed- er, the .city health department tests the milk of the individual members of a herd, and the owner when he receives the report, is able to dis- tinguish and dispose of the low test. ers. The result of the changed sys- tem, together with the. 'excellent manner of preparing and distributing the milk, has added to the popularity of milk in the diet of the Ottawa citizens, This is shown in the con- stantly increasing consumption per head of population. The price paid by 'consumers is ten cents per quart, which is less than many citizens pay for milk of a poorer quality. Not only has a producer who wish- es to send milk into Ottawa to show healthy herds and cleanly kept stables in order to get a license, but he has to live up to the requirements of the city regulations which provide for a careful guarding of the supply from the time the milk is drawn until it reaches the consumers table. Com- plaints. from consumers that reach the city hall have been reduced to al- most a vanishing point. Inspectors are constantly at work among the' dairymen, not only to see that the regulations are complied with, but also to give advice where it appears to be necessary to do so. The dairy stables and many of the milk houses are given a lime wash during the summer months. This work is done by men 'who make rounds of the farms with a gasoline -driven spray putnp for applying the wash. The small coat of doing this work is dis- tribated among the dairymen served. The City -of Ottawa is fortunate in )its medical health officer and the in- , "specter in charge of the milk supply. %id foriner, Dr. T. A.

The.farm- ers realize an additional advantage, inasmuch as it is commencing to help them to produce healthy hogs and thus receive the higher price that packers pay for hogs ,bought in tub- erculosis -free areas. The improvement of the milk sup- ply. of Ottawa Ban for many years been associated with the Ottawa Dairy Company that is operated as,, constantly growing institution. system of this company is alrea well known. Not many .years ago this Company largely controlled Me milk business of the city. Paine five" years ago it appeared to a, number of producers and far-seeingobusiness men that a keener competition would not be misplaced in the city., Early in 1918, the organization of a new; distribulang company was under- talsen, under the Joint Stock Com- , paniefi Act,•ty.Mesits. G. F. Hodgins, ex-M.P., W. H. Tait. and" A. L. 'Stack- house. These men organized the Producers' Dairy Company, then re- tired, making way tor an executive composed of actual producers. From the beginning the nyornoters found a ready response amongst the producers, a number of whom had commenced the organization of a similar concern some time previously. A number of small routes were bought outright and a short time afterwards a route of considerable magnitude, that of the John Clarke Dairy, was taken in. It was made a condition that has never been departed from that only stockholders in the comp- any could market milk through this agency. Each patron was required to hold at least $1.000 worth of stock in the company. This feature has exercised a beneficial influence from the beginning, as every patron at once becomes a "booster" for the company. Sufficient capital was got together in this way to erect and equip, in a thoroughly modern fashion a plant capable not only of handling the daily milk supply, 'but the manufac- ture and marketing of ice cream and butter as well. The equipment is practically identical with that of the larger company, differing only in its magnitude. This Company now has a capitalization of $750,000 as' against a capitalization of $1,000,000 of the Ottawa Dairy Company. Milk distribution by the Producers' Comp- any was commenced on Armistice Day with ten wagons. 'No spectacu- lar growth was experienced, but there has been a constant gain until - the present time when 35 wagons are employed in distributing amounts of between 2,400 and 3,000 gallons daily, -produced by 125 stoekholders, the herds of most of -whom enjoy "A" classification in the Municipal Tuber- culosis Order. The butter business of the company has grown rapidly, the turnover in the year amounting to 350,000 lbs. For their ice cream and butte's trade the company receive supplies from about 300 cream shippers. The President and Manager of the Company is Mr. Bower Henry. The Assistant Manager who is also the SecretarY-Treasurer, is Mr. F. Find- layson. Both of these men have been with the company since its organiza- tion. • ,1 BLAKE Mission Band --The Blake Mission Band, which was organized last June) with a membership of thirty-three members, held their open meeting in the churchon November 25th. when the parent4 fitICT friends- of the chil- dren enjoyed a splendid programme givenby the members of the Band.

OWEN GEIGER, Christmas Services.—Our churches on Sunday last were well attended and the sermons and service of praise was all very appropriate to the Christmas Sunday. At Carmel church. in the evening, a splendid song service was given in tharender- ing of that fine cantata, "The Mes- siah's Coming," rendered by some forty voices, under the able leader- ship of Mr. MiMe Rennie, with Mrs. Rennie presiding at the pipe organ. To say that the rendering of this cantatta was splendidly done is put- ting it very mildly indeed, as the choruses and solo parts were given in a manner that coulds.lnot well he eXcelled. Those taking part in the, solos were Mr. Milne R. ,Rannie, Mr. W. 0. Goodwin, Mr. Ai . A. McLaren, Mrs. James Hoggarth, Mrs. W. A. McLaren and the Misseas Olas Cook and Miss Florence Welsh. The large congregation that completely filled the spacious church and gallery were delighted with the service of song, while the pastor, Rev, J. A.

The Nomination.—Our town hall was well tilled on Tuesday evening last at the nomination. After the nominations -sa Dear Expositor.—The Hensall nom- ination was held on Friday last for the election of civic officers for 1928. The time appointed was from, 12 -to 1 o'clock,- There were five nominated for the Reeveshipa Owen Geiger, Torn Hudson, Alex, &rah, James Bon- tbron and George Petty. Messrs. Petty and Bonthron withdrew, so you see there is a three -cornered fight on. The opinion of 'the people is strong for Geiger, he being the best qualified man to send to the County Council and manage the af- fairs of the villager economically and justly. The present council has been the most extravagant in the history of Hensall, and the time has conic when the ratepayers should elect more honorable men to manage af- fairs. The majority of them have no property in their own name and do not seem to consider how much they waste of the funds of the vil- lage. The taxes are getting beyond reason and it will surprise some of them next year when the thirty-four thousand dollar Main street has to be paid. In the first place, the pav- ing of Main Street was put through in an underhand way by a few of the business men and the COuncil.
