CTTYS MILK SUPPLY UNEXCELLED

II fair, and only 6 in poor condition.
In all of them the food supply was
found to be good-indeed. 1T could
hardly be otherwise in a country where
succulent grasses can be found belly
deep and in abundance. The stables
are also inspected for sanitary viola
tons, 1913 reported in good condition, 16
fair, and only ID poor. There is no
feeding of Stops from diStillerieS, or
other inferior foods-and the water
supply is uniformly abundant and of
good quality.
Under the head of stable inspection
the officers of the state food and dairy
commission maintain constant and
untiring inspection of the quarters in
which the cows are kept, the condition
of the COWS themselves and their food,
the ventilation of the buildings, the
kind and conditions of the utensils
used in gathering and handling the
milk and the places of it's preserva-
ton. AS a rule, the report upon these
things is excellent. $40 ac
There is throughout the country near
st. Paul a constant rebuilding Of the
old, worn out creameries which have
served to handle milk directly from the
farmers in the past. The new works
are Of the most improved, modern
plans-many of them models in the
cleanliness, convenience anu oCOnOIly
of their arrangements. Those at Alden,
New Chenille, Albert Lea and Hutch
inson are especially noteworthy.
So large Is the demand for milk in
the city that special trains for it's tran
sit are necessary and becoming more
SO. The Great Western now runs such
a train, equipped with specially de-
signed milk cars. A milk car is like an
express car, but differs from the latter
in having refrigerating arrangements
for ice in each end-so as to maintain
the requisite temperature of 40 degrees
or little lower necessary to keep the
milk sweet. Above this temperature it
may become infected with bacteria,
Tactic acid may be generated, and the
milk become sour and even leopard"
as it is called.
Street tests of milk are also con-
stantly made by the inspectors. More
than 5000 per year is the average.
Good milk should have II per cent
solid matter, of which 8 per cent should
be butter fat, IS to SO per cent should
be water, and the remaining 8 to IL
per cent should be fat, sugar, casein
and salts. 1t is the report that st.
Paul's milk is generally found a little
better than the standards require: In

until an idea struck him. Reaching under

spread his countenance. T"f

ST. Paul-milk, and particularly the
milk of the COW, considered in its
commercial utilities. Yet word with
reference to the milk of certain of
these minor milk givers will not be
amiSS.
OF mares or asses milk there prob
ably is not a quart in commercial cir
culation in st. Paul. if indeed theCe
ever was. although it possibly could
be readily obtained If wanted. AT
the drug stores and soft drink foun-
tains there is, or was once. for sale a
drink, Russian in origin and name
of mares milk in Russia. Here 1t is
probably made of ordinary sweet milk
carbonated, sWeetened. Favored and a
little fermented, so as to give 1T the
proper taste and a slight bite" when
drank. 1t is a healthful, agreeable
beverage.
Goats milk Is the foundation of

few "nannies" in st. Paul which are
robbed of their daily tactical store for
the benefit of some little urchins whose

her little kid. the goat. and leave him
thirsty and a-hungered to a diet of
tin cans and hold shoes.
But with regard to cows milk 1t is
different as to supply and general use.
st. Paul is pastoral in it's location. 1t
is surrounded with dairiesi and an
abundance of space and grass makes
it possible for many to keep a cow or
a few cows, even within the city lin

could be hushed. there would still be
the lowing of it's cattle, and every

herds are not sufficient to supp'S the
milk demanded of 100000 people, and
quantities are brought in daily by train

But these cans are not ALL of the
same size. being variously ten. eight
and five gallons each. and considera-
BILE proportion of the cans contain
cream. No exact record Is kept Of
the proportions of the various
sizes or of the proportions Of milk and
cream, so that accuracy in estimates
is impossible. It may be roughly
guessed that about 1000 gallons OF milk
and cream come daily to st. Paul by
railroad and are distributed to dealers.
Probably as much more is distributed
directly from the herds, making 5000,
possibly even 10000 gallons total con-
sumption per diem of milk and cream

Lakes Supply St. Paul With Water.

Not alone for beauty or pleasure are
these lakes important to st. Paul. They
form the reservoirs of its water Sys-
tenn and upon them depends the city
for it's supply of aqua pura- The prof.
ect to get water from them was
preached as early as 1852 when one of
the newspapers suggested supplying
the city with water from one of the
lakes toward Little Canada" The sug-
gestion was actively followed but not
completely realized until 1869. in which
year the ST. Paul water system, as
a complete whole, was finished. with
Lake Phalen as reservoir. II miles of
pipe, 8 miles of canals and a capacity
Of 100000 gallons every twenty -four
hours. Since then the system has been
vastly increased and now comprises
Vadnais lake and number of driven
and artesian wells connected there
with. Baldwin lake. McCarron lake,
Otter lake. the Centerville lakes and
wells. Some of these lakes are either
wholly or partially outside Ramsey
county and in Anoka county.
