She had been shopping somewhere

with her heart filed with bitterness.

There was another woman coming in

the way as she might easily have done.
Instead, she met one of them boldly

The question OF honest milk has long
been \ matter OF serious consideration
by the Wheeling Milk Dealers Associa-
ton, and ut more than one meeting Of
that body the ACCESSIBILITY OF asking for
a legal inspection has been brultcd and
always voted down. Recently, however,
a sentiment in favor OF ouch inspection
has been growing, and it is known that
ten or twelve dealers who are members
OF that organization are heartily in favor
OF such inspection. Perhaps the pres
ent agitation will prove TO be the lever
that will move the remainder to action.

Inasmuch as 4 great deal OF Washing

city tho following extract from the

is very suggestive and pertinent. The
note in question is contributed by James
A. Waugh, V. s., OF Allegheny, Penn

was called TO treat some sick COWS at n
dairy farm near Washington, Pa, and
diagnosed the disease as tuberculosis.
and two Of tho patients died in a few
days. The post mortem confirmed the
diagnosis. The matter was duly re-
ported to the state board Of agriculture,
and Secretary Thomas J.. Edge has taken
charge Of the herd and q%uarantined tho
cattle. rs five head ure already very

The RericlU states that the cases will be
fully described in Il future issue. Is
this not confirmation OF tho ISrELLE-
GEXcEE's previous statements? Tho
disease is not confined to one locality,
but prevails in almost every section
that contributes to the milk consump-
ton in this city. Now is tho time to act.

As to the prevalence Of tuberculosis,
the interest in that disease should not
be lost sight OF. It is certain that it
prevails, and no honest dairyman who
has n suspicion that it does exist in any
OF his herds should hesitate to have
such examination made as would clear
his conscience OF my doubts as 10 tho
character OF the milk he is selling.
Mr.. c. D. Vernon, manager OF the
Wheeling Creamery Company, was ap-
preached by m lNrELLIGESCER reporter
yesterday, and asked mis- opinion in re.
gard to the statement Of this paper in
regard to tuberculosis. He was very
loath to talk on the subject At first, for
fear that his motives might be miscou-
strued in endorsing what the ISrELLI-
GESCrE said. Finally lie said:

The statement that tuberculosis OK.

IN sections Of the states OF Pcnnsylva-

brought out no specific denials, but
many remonstrances. This agitation
has resulted in another as to tho quality
OF milk served in this community.
DIFFERENT QUALITIES oF MILK.
Said a well-known dairyman, yester-
day, to an INrELIIGEHcrn reporter on
this subject: 81 can just as well water
the milk in tho COW as in the can, and
here is where tho public are deceived
and the honest dealer is at u disadvan-
taGe. Swlll-fed COWS with the addition
Of sweet nitro produce 4 greater guam
ttty OF milk, or, rather this method OF
feeding increases the flow, but produces
an exceedingly impoverished article in
regard to butter lat. The milk from
these COWS cells at the same price rs
that from COWS bran mash and grain
fed, where the percentage OF butter fat
is from 5 to 4 per cent. Herein lies tho
imposition on the public"
How about skim nilkw asked the
reporter.
81 do not make any wal on skim or
impoverished milk. provided it is sold
at a price commensurate with its value.
1t is harmless, when produced by
healthy cows, but ] do object to its
bringing tho same price rs that OBJ
tanned for good lat milk. Why, do
you know that some dealers put in 4
little cheese coloring, and an incxpert
person could not tell that he was not
getting the richest fluid that ever
flowed from NJ udder."
