The Sanitary Milk Company, of Baltimore,
has been Incorporated for the purpose of rem
edying the growing evil of impure milk. 1t
has capital stock ofSl00,000. The methods
which it proposes to pursue are those which
have been in large and successful operation
in Berlin, Germany, and in several otter cities
of continental Europe since 1881. These
methods include a rigid inspection of the
herds of cattle whose milk is used, careful
sanitary regulations rs to the stabling and
food of the COWS, daily tests as to the quality
of the milk and to prevent its adulteration,
and absolute cleanliness from the time the
milk leaves the cow until it reaches the con.
sumner. Strainers and sponge apparatus like
those used in Berlin will be used in the new
enterprise, so as to give the utmost purity.
The cans and Jars will be locked after being
delivered to the driver of the wagon, and he
will be unable to stop en- route and make
good with water any deficiency in his supply.
A new species of wagon, resembling some
what the mail wagons, will be adopted, and
they will be bright and attractive. The
driver and his assistants will be uniformed.
The milk will be obtained from inspected
herds of Jersey and other good grade cattle.
1t will be brought to a central station in the
city, and will not be sent out until it has been
inspected, tested and run through the cleans
ing apparatus to rid it of every impurity 1t
will be delivered ia glass Jars, all the vessels
used being kept sorupulously clean. The
methods of handling the milk will be open
to the inspection of the public and the health
department. The directors and officers of
the new company are John r. Kelso, Jr.,
president; Edwin WarGeld, vice president;
Samuel L. Hill, treasurer; John Z. Dorsey,
and manager; Edwin j. Farber,
