MILK AND Disc tsE.

The Board OF Health OF Syracuse ~
V have hit upon an unique but appa-
rentlv very practical plan of eliminating
impure milk as a factor in producing DIS
eases. All the COWS in the area OF coun-
try furnishing milk to the city are peihe
examined by a physician. Round aiumi-
nun tags are fastened to the ears OF the
healthy. and oblong tags to those OF the
diseased. animals. The latter are placed
in fields and barns separate from the I'M
affected cattle. and the owners are warn
cd under threat of penalty not to sell
the milk from the quarantined cows. II
is intended hereafter 10 keep all the DAIRY
herds under municipal supervision ana
to have all dairy animals examined by a
physician at least twice year. Another
regulation is that after February lst neS'
the milk-dealers must use metallic milk
tickets. or furnish new paper tickets a.
each sale, the purpose being 10 lessen th'
likelihood of the spread of contagion.
As might be expected, the milk-dealer
and the dairy farmers are kicking Tx
steers" but all the same, they are KICK
ing against the pricks."
