city from their wicked practices.
From the contemplation OF such Htate OF al

Chicago Il Pacific Railway. HIS farm covers an
AREA Of 220 acrea of rich, sandy loan, slightly

esqueness. In making choice Of this particular
locality, aeVeral advantages wore secured. In
the first place, consulting the facilities in regard
to shipping, no point could have been more 1itly
chosen, for owning, as be does, land adjoining
the railroad it enables him to have erected tot his
oNR use depot from which to ship, and, 8eaia,
having knowledge OF the fact that it is q posi-
tive necessity that dairy stock should have ac-
cess to water in which no hnrtfui and poisonous
foreign ingredients are mingled, and we'll
knowing that milk il q most favorable Medium
through which impure particles may be t1ans-
mittod, his dairy site was chosen with special
reference to this latter respect, Indeed,
there ia no farm within the vicinity
OF Chicago which has water more abundant and
pure, and which IS at the same tina Of 4 tenn
peratura That is better adapted TO extracting
animal heat from the milk preparatory to ship-
ment.
His dairy consists Of 80 mich COWS, grazing

having been built for the purpose.
From this dairy sbout 100 gallous Of milk ara
daily produced. This, as soon as MIXED 10 placed
into 8-galion cans, and placed in cold running
water, having a temperature of about 49 degrees
there to remain until hipment. The milk is
than brought to his depot at No. 229 Illinois
street, placed in ice-cold mik-vats a. they are
termed, until distributed to his customers by
pint. quart, gallon, Or can. in exactly the same
condition as when milked4
