MEETING OF THE FIRST COW CONGRESS.
Or ff anlzn toil of the Pennsylvania Cliam
toer ol" Milk at Chester, Fa. Attempts to
bring the Citizens of Philadelphia up
to the "Chalk," Ktc.
Last week a meeeting of the Dairymen who
supply Philadelphia with the pure sky-blue
article was held in the enterprising village of
Chester, to take Into consideration the subject
Of raising the price on the milk (as that is the
Only tbuag that can be raised on It) ; also to have
the charges of fret 011 ue milk-cans by the
Philadelphia, Wilmington, Z? Pultimore Rail
road reduced.
The meeting was called to order by plaC!u
Farmer Mangle wurtzel in the chair. On taking
the chair, he said that he thought this Congress
would outrival the Thirty-ntu; Congress at
Washington, as taq members of this body were
from the Agricultural community, and are the
"cream" of the country, while that Washington
crowd was the mere "skimmings." (Cheers.)
He continued by saying that, so far as his in
fluence went, he was in iavoroi raising the price
Of milk, as no one could doubt the justice ot
every man having his own "whey" with his own
property. Gentlemen, I allude to the curds and
whey. (Cheers, and cries of "Joke I oke !") I
will not detain this body with uiy remarks, f
there are abler men here to speak and business
of importance to bo transacted. In couslusion,
I beg to say that I hope there will be no un
necessary debate indulged in, neither ox-hide
gas or cow-hide, but plain talk, as becomes men
who live by dispensing the pure mils: and water
of life. (Iainiense cheering.)
Mr. Snapshort, ot Norrlstown, rose and said
that he once wrote for an Agricultural paper
published in Manayunk, and had ulways advo
cated a rise in the price of milk, and for that
Eome of his brother editors bad termed him a
"bull in milk." Farmer Durham here rose and
said he had never hearn tell of sick a thing as
a bull in milk, and didn't believe it. The Chair
man called Durham to order, aud SnapsUort
continued "And I always believed in raising
the price of milk; also to discourage the use of
the new things out in milk, such as tho 'Jersey
Milkers' and other machines Intended to take
the place of hand power in coaxing the milk out
of the cow."
Dr. H. Eifer, of Marcus Hook, said that tho
cows in hi9 neighborhood kicked 6tronly
against the reduction in the price of their milk.
Fanner Durham again rose and said "he
could cure any cow from kickin' aiu any
thing." Durham was called to order.
The gentleman from Marcus Hook here
mitted a very fine specimen of ,
sub-
i-."!;"'-'.
' -V'
CONDENSED MILK,
which be had used in bis practice with treat
success, and found it a great saving, particu
larly in dry times. The members examined it,
and broke a piece off to take home with them
Mr. Patrick O'Flaherty, ol New York city,
who has a dairy near Fortv-eishth street and
First avenue, aud who appeared to be the star
I the evening, presented
A BAD TALK OF THE MILE TRADE
in that city. He said that people had got to
using miik to hp alarming ejitnt, and th
JoHirgtbc milk was subject to, in bringing it
over the railroads, caused many of the cans to
have nothing in them but butter when they
opened them at Jersey City for the purpose of
REDUCING THE MILK.
This reducing was a very important matter,
as most of his enstomers were continually aking
him when he was going to reduce the m'lk. Ho
always promised an immediate reduction,
which gave great satisfaction; ho also referred
to tho hard life of the Dairyman, and had heard
recently that there had been a book published
by tome of the religious people called
"THE DAIRYMAN'S DAUGHTER,"
and he did not know whether it referred to any
particular gal, but hie daughter could get as
many quarts out of a cow as she held.
Farmer Durham then rose, and wanted to
know how much she held. Mr.. O'Flaherty said
"that he had one that gave about twelve
quarts." Durham said "he didn't believe any
gal held that much, ho had never hearn tell of
fclch a thing." (Laughter.) The Chairman
called Mr. Durham to order. Mr. O'Flaherty
continued : In New York we labor under great
difficulties nothing but an "Orange County"
milk wagon would do to sell in, and the in
spector says he will not license any more
"Orange County" milk wagons; that there are
enough now to carry not only all the milk.but all
the cows in Orange County; consequently we
have to adopt other names of towns on the rail
roads, that must be far enough out in the county
to raise a cow, and yet not too far tor the milk
to reach the market that day. His dairy farm
was near the East river, and was 20 feet
front by 120 feet deep, and hi9 customers lived
in the Avenues, but a few squares from him; yet
it was necessary for him to rise by 2 o'clock
every morning, to milk his cows, prepare his
milk and cream, fill his cans, and drive his
painted wagons to Jersey Olty, or the New
Haven or Hudson Elver Railroad Depots ac
cording to the letteriug on the wagons, and then
return to the city again and serve his customers,
before six. o'clock In the morning. The price
of arrow-root, molasses, calves' braius, and
other chemicals used in our manufacture has
gone up, so that it is but right that the prico of
milk should be raised, and ho thought it was
only necessary for them to form a Milky
Union, and "take the bull right by the horns."
Farmer Durham here roso aud said that they
couldn't git milk by takln' a bull by the horns.
He had uever hearn tell of sich a thiug. The
Chairman called Mr. Durham to order. The
Chair here requested Mr. O'Flaherty to lurnish
the meeting with an account of the process for
Biaking milk tor city consumption, a3 they
found even in Philadelphia a growing demand
for good and wholesome milk by the masses,
and unless some way was Invented, our own
pigs would have to bo put on a short allowance.
Mr. O'Flaherty said he was not prepared to
make a statement now, but that he represented
lorty cows. Farmer Durham rose and said
he didn't see any likeness to forty cows, and he'd
never hearn tell of sich a thing. The Chair
called Mr. Durham to order. Mr. O'Flaherty
continued: "And I supply from them forty,
twenty-eight cans of "Long Island," thirty
seven of "Poughkeepsie," and sixty "Connecti
cut Valley," besides from forty-five to fifty cans
of "Orange county" every day, which would
take over two hundred Pennsylvania cows to
do the same thing with the old 6tjle way of
doin'. You may know, though it keeps us busy,
we can't raise pigs or anything (except childtr),
as it takes all our time to haul large barrels of
pasture to feed 'em, and to manufacture our
milk for the market, as our Aveuue cubtomers
are mighty partickler as to color in their milk.
It must look rich.
The Chairman here proposed that, in the
event of their not being able to raise the price
to a satisfactory point between them and tho
citizens, that a committee be appointed to visit
New York aud see Mr. O'Flahei ty's Dairy, and
others there conducted on the same economical
principles, with a view of improving our own
Dairies. Farmer Durham wanted the Chair to
send him to New York, as he'd never bin there,
and he would like to see how the crops looked.
The Chair called Mr. Durham to order.
After effecting a permanent organization, the
Chairman moved that the title of the organiza
tion be the "Pennsylvania Chamber of Milk."
Mr. Durham here rose and said that was oriul;
he'd never hearn tell of sich a thing. (Cries of
"Older! order!' ). The motion was carried, and
the name adopted, notwithstanding Farmer
Durham's protest that "he had never hearn
tell of sich a thing."
After settling on a committee to vUit New
York at the expense of the organization, tho
meeting adjourned.
Verbatim Report of Mr. Flueciut' Pic
ture at the Ac-uUmiy.
To the Editor of The Evening Telegraph:
Sib: The first appearance at the Academy of
the eloquent lecturer, Mr. Fiuecent, had been
advertised so olten in the morning papers, that
I hofiume convinced of the necessity of procur
ing a verbatim report of the finest specimen of
the oratory oi mo uj iiui;i, vi mo
evening.
As a matter of course, my mind was perfectly
at case in regard to obtaining such a literary
specimen, because the man who owns the morn
ing papers was kind enough to employ a persoa
on purpose to report the lecture.
Now, Mr. Editor, thinking that perhaps you,
like many others, have been too busy to read the
morning papers, and as the report is so very
niueb. verbatim, I tuink everybody had ort to
have a copy. Thus it Is verbatim, viz.:
Mr. Ftnecent made his appearance himself.
The audience wan delighted, and greeted bini
with applause. Alter which, tho lecturer con-
t.piit'l at Emit li njitli, tlilatinp vpou his theme
in n way which proved him to tie mnster of the
snbicct. The lecturer continued to elucidate tho
sutject, and interspersed hi? remark with
hnmoroiH ni ecdotes, which !rjrhlv delighted
the audience. The speaker here went into ft
n Inute description and close analysis ot the
subject, which clearly proved him to be a pro
found thinker.
Alter the ai.plniie had soncwhat subsided,
the lecturer gave several very apt quotation.".
Indeed, his tine dramatic style was truly srand.
and seemed to bold his hearers in one continued
thread ot enchantment. (Oreat cheering.) The
scenes of sorrow and anguish which the lecturer
here depicted, with such pa the s. were really
atlcciing; and many a dim eve might have been
seeu aa.onp that motley gathering. The lec
turer paused, as It overcome by his own tetd
ines. At that moment a dead silence pervaded
the whole house.
The lecturer then made some very startling
revelations, which, had we time and space, we
would give to our readers, but we must proceed
to the most important parts of this most elo
quent lecture.
After great cheering, the lecturer proceeded
to give a clear and succinct account of the
whole affair giving the rie, procrecs, and sub
sequent events with such clearness that the
whole audience feit as though they were actors
in the scene.
At this point, there was a slight disturbance,
owing to the (treat throng of people at the door
pressing forward to gain admittance to the in
terior of the room, but, by the great care
which had been bestowed upon the police ar
rangemcntsthe disturbance was only moment
ary, the outsiders were oubted, and order
reHtorcd.
The spenker resumed where ho bad left off,
and continued the thread of his narrative un
broken to the end, except when the enthusiasm
ol his hearers became so great that he was
compelled to stop, by reason ot the deafening
applause.
The lecturer then concluded by giving some
very important statistics bearing upon the sub-H-ct,
which, viewed in the liehtof science, cannot
belp but advance our interest, both at home
and abroad. The lecturer here paused to remark
that he hoped the subject would be considered
worthy ol their special attention and kind con
sideration; that he waswillinir at any time to
employ his time and talents on their behalf, and
a sufficient reward to him would be to know
that he ha t done his whole duty to the best of
ht ability. (Great cheering.;
The speaker then made some allusion to pars
ing events, and prophesied a greatness for the
future which, if we would patiently wait long
enough, we would all see.
The lecturer then gave a retrospective giance
at the past, covering the whole ground of his
dp course: reproducing so vividly his images to
the imagination that it would seem Impossible
for time to etlace them. Alter the lecturer had
finished his lecture, he eat down on his seat
amid deafening applause. Walton.
