Vagts, Christ, is proprietor of the milk station at West Winfield. He buys milk
from the farmers and ships to the New York city market, the product being from 
about 3,000 cows. He ships about 130 cans a day, each can containing forty 
quarts. It is taken in and cooled by water from a flowing well. The cans 
returned from New York are first cleaned by washing and then steamed. He 
commenced this business in January, 1889.  About 1,200 cans required to run 
the business, and all the surplus milk is made up into butter and cheese, the 
farmers being paid as if it were all shipped to New York.   The building is 
156 feet long, 30 feet wide and two stories high.
