A PLAN of adulterating milk is prac.
ticed in some places which is, perhaps,
more difficult to suppress than any
other. The COW is MIXED only to two
thirds of the fluid in her udders. The
product is sold as pure milk. The re
maining third of the fluid is then
MIXED, kept separate, AMI sold as
cream. In Boston, where milk inspec.
tion is perhaps more rigid than any.
where else in America, this imposition
has been detected and stopped. Pre-.
vious to the detection dairymen and
witnesses for them were enabled tc
swear of the inferior milk without, as
they supposed, violating their con.
sciences, that no water had been added
to it and no cream skinned from it.
