covered here and there with trees. The
barn and outhOuSes on the ranch are tie
picture Of neatnesS and cleanliness, aad
would pass the inspection of the most fas-
tidlous taste. They are all under the per-
sonal supervision of the prOprieJOrs, aRd
they exercise the greatest care in the OBJ
servance of the sanitary conditions. The
cows are all sleek and fat and chiefly of the
HOlstein breed with here and there high
class grade obtained from crossing
MeSsrs. Mcclellan keep adding to their
herd all the time, and the exercise If good
judgment and knowledge of their business
never allow their cows to become poor or
run down. The best of the calves are
raised and the others 20 to the butcher.
About 200 cows are kept in milk the year
round the balance being dry in pasture.
Their ranch is most fertile, and by this
means they are enabled to raise all their
own hay and green fodder as well as all
kinds of vegetables, oats, barley, corn and
wheat. The fields of grain glistening in the
sun are perfect picture and bear evidences
of the most careful farming. By this means
Mcclellan Bros. have a constant supply OF
all the standard and true foods for their
cattle; add to this bran, middlingS ana oil
cake meal, and what better guarantee could
you get OF the quality OF their milk. The
cans and all other utensils used are all
thoroughly cleansed with live steam and
scalding water and The best revolving
brushes. The utmost degree Of care is ex-
erciSed in order not 10 leave the least tant
or other foreign substance in any of the YES
sells, ''for," said Mr.. Mcclellan, ''this is the
portion of our business that we have to be
most particular about, as we make a spe-
cialty of private family trade and have made
our reputation by the absolute purity aud
good quality of our milk and cream"
A greater degree OF diligence has to be
taken with class of trade such as the
HoSten Farm Dairy has than any other.

soon as completed the milk is strained and
then rapidly cooled by the most improved
cooling process and placed In the cans, ready
for shipment to the city. On arrival 1t is at
once transferred to the delivery wagons,
and reaches the customer as soon thereafter
as possible. There are two deliveries daily.
All the cream which Is required from day
to day is separated at the ranch by Sharp
less separator, and the skim milk is fed 10
the hogs, as the HOlstein Farm sells no skim
milk.
The ranch is thoroughly supplied with
mountain springs, and in addition has
Spring Valley water, thus inSurug a con-
slant supply of the purest and best water.
The ventilation of the buildings has been
well attended TO and absolutely no OdOrS
can reach the rooms where the milk is
handled. It is strange that, considering the
large amount Of milk daily consumed in San
Francisco, the public have not yet become
thoroughly alive to this burning question,
and aSCertalned for themselves the vast diff
ference between milk which comes from a
good country farm dairy and those within
the limits Of the city. 1t is almost the same
difference as exists between chalk aud
cheese.
The matter of inspection was touched
upon, but Mr., Mcclellan, like most of the
Others had not given the subject very Seri-
Gus consideration, except TO say that in
spection could not be too rigid, as the
greater the care and standard insisted upon
by the city, the larger would be the profit Of
the true dairyman.
This dairy sells nothing but absolutely
pure milk and cream, ana it is run on SAINT
tary PRINCIPLES, and for cleanliness and
beauty challenges the closest investigation.
