Birmingham MIX supply.

In a special report to the United States
department of agriculture, bureau of ami
NAL industry, on the milk supply OF
twenty-nine southern cities, DR.. c. +.
Doane, special agent of the dairy divis-
Ion, said with reference to the milk sup
ply In Birmingham:
Birmingham has well-enforced milk
and dairy inspection Milk is required to
contain per cent of fat, and the stables
and yards where cows are kept ar regu-
larly inspected and required to be kept
in good condition. All cows furnishing
milk to the city are tuberculin-tested.
The health officer reports that out of
total of nearly 100 cows so tested but 7
responded and were condemned. This
appears to be a very low average. AS
was noted, 500 cows are reputed to be in
the city limits, and of this number so
cows ore kept in three dairies, which are
the only dairies conducted inside of the
city 1t was said that a very few years
ago fully 1000 COWS were kept in the city.
but the number is constantly decreasing.
and the diaries which were formerly To-
Gated in the city have moved out into the
country"
Copies of this report have been distrl-
buted among the members of the Jeffer-
son County Medical society.
