WANTS BETTER DIARIES
MCCONNELL WRITES LETTER TO
MILK VENDORS
Asks for More Substantial Barns for
Cattle and That the Same Be White
washed-Advoeates Detached Milk
Houses Where LacteaI Fluid and
Utensils Are Stored.

Dairy and Food Commissioner Nc
Council is making a determined effort
to improve the conditions Of the dali
ries throughout the state. Yesterday
ne issued circular letter, urging what
he considers necessary improvements.
He asks the milk vendors to provide
substantial barns for their cattle, and
requests them to whitewash the same
before the cold weather comes He
also advocates detached milk houses,
where the dairy untensiIs and milk
can be stored. In his letter, Commis-
sioner Mcconnell says:
McConneIrs Letter. An
1T IS the desire and pleasure OF the
. milk producers of our cities to furnish
patrons with clean, healthful milk and
cream 1t cannot be gainsaid that milk
Is becoming more and more a staple arti--
Gle of food. Good milk, properly ham
died, is undoubtedly the best and most
economical food on the market. It. how
ever, is equally true that there is no food
that is so easily contaminated and made
unit for human food as milk Therefore
the Importance of each dairynan placing
upon the market the best possible prod
uct In order to do this, healthy cows are
necessary, as well as wholesome food and
pure water are required. Cleanliness Of
the cows, utensils and premises are i'm
peratfve. The dairy and food commission
desires to cooperate with all milk pro-
ducers in securing to their patrons a SUI
pef1or quality OF pure milk.
inspection Beneficial.
The annual winter inspection by our
department has been, we believe, most
beneficial We are anxious and DESTROYS
OF having necessary changes made with
the least possible expense and inconven-
fence to the dairymen. 1t will be the pur-
pose of the commission during the COM
ing early winter months to make a gen
eral inspection, and then make frequent
relnspectiOnS, especially of those that are
considered in bad condition.
IN o milk vendors can afford to sell milk
that is not absolutely clean and healthful
and much less can the patron to buy it
for his family USE We, through this
medium, desire to give this timely notice
to our dairymen so that during the sum-
mer and fall months they can, without
hardship, make necessary repairs.
Must Have Clean Barns. \
1.-THE time has come when every dairy
man who offers milk for sale must have,
not necessarily an expensive barn, but
comfortable, clean. well ventilated and
lighted barn. 1t is absolutely impos-
sible to secure clean milk from dirty
cows, hence the necessity of keeping
your cows and barns clean, which is not
only reasonable and just to the consun-
er, but required by the laws of our state.
We believe as far as possible every dairy41
man should, before the time of stabIing
cows, thoroughly renovate and Whitewash
his barn on the inside. This will only
require a trifing outlay and yet the benz
eft will be far-reaching, not only in im-
proving the quality Of your milk, but In
protecting the health Of your herd" 4

LONDON, Aug. 16.-The Boer gen.
