800 year. making it $1,000, allowediI
him an additional deputy with addi-
l.tional powers for the purpose Of
inspecting creameries and dairies
and otherwise assisting in the en-
forcement of the dairy laws. There 10
plenty of law now providing Sanitary
regulations for creameries and dairies,
but it is not enforced There is
great difference in localities says
4 commissioner Norton. In some places
4 the milk comes to the creameries per-
4 fectly clean and requires no strainingl
i because there are no impurities in it. 4
In others it is necessary to use cloth
strainers to keep out the bulk of the
filth that has been allowed by the
tcreamery patrons to get into the milk.
4 THE creamery men do not like to COM
lplain to farmers about dirty milk, be-
& llcause there is too much competition.
The creameries are too close together.
ISome of the creameries also need in
lspection to keep them clean. III Mime
sofa they have laws similar to ours and

Regularly They have a little over 900
L creameries and we have over 800. OF
1 course one inspector will not be able to

!. tcertain locality and show what the
{ Ibenefits of inspection will be. In Min
