nave mace an inspection OF the dairy farms
the Attorney Dairy depot, in this city, owned
and managed by MI. F. X. Ward, and in all
cases found the cows in healthy, comfortable
condition; the stables and surroundings clean
and Well ventilated, and the spring houses,
where the milk is placed as soon as taken from
the cow, and reduced to the proper tempera-
ture by cooling in the spring water, thereby ex-
tracing the animal heat before being delivered
to the consumer, in perfect condition as re-
CARDS location, water and cleanliness.
farms, are intelligent and highly respected citi-
zens of Virginia, and take a great pride in the
management of their cattle and farms, the cat
from the fine stock which with great care they
have selected being their chief support, they
know it is to their interests to supply the very
Ing up the reputation of their dairy with him
and his establishment with the consumer. eX-
amined the food in the feed-bins, and the quail
NY and quantity given each animal, which is
mixture of fresh corn meal and bran with long
1000 OF clover hay and green-cOrn fodder, with
roots occasionally. This is the regular food
gwen the year round, in accordance with
Mr.. Ward. This, together with the clover
fields, through which now streams OF clear cool
spring water must insure to our citizens a pure
ana rich supply or milk, as 1t is delivered to the
consumers directly from these farms, which,
with close connection and good railroad facili-
ties, place only about fifty minutes between the
farm and the consumers residence, although
from ten to twelve miles distant.
My visit to these farms not only afforded me
pleasure. but l was gratifed to see the business
SO thoroughly SyStemized. and to be assured
that cur families were in position to get a pure
and rich article OF milk. In this connection
would earnestly remark that all families should
same a. E. cattle, &c.) from which they get their
supply Of milk and satisfy themselves that they
are not getting milk from diseased or slOp-fed
cows, confined In filthy or badly ventilated
stables, which, in my opinion, originated the
lung fever now prevailing in several dairy
stables In and around this city. It may be con-
tagious, to be sure; but with care it can be pre-
vented from spreading among cows and with
proper food, well-ventilated stat 'es cleanliness
in every department, and intelligent manage
ment, It will never make its appearance.
