While all of the above samples of milk
are within the minimum requirements in
butter fat, the samples showing only per
cent In fat are just up to the minimum
requirements Milk that contains only 3
per cent in fat is very poor.
The following is the report on the bac-
THEOLOGICAL tests of samples of milk:

number Of bacteria present.
T. H. Smith. not satisfactory; too many
bacteria present
Glen Iris Dairy Co., not satisfactory; too

sonable number of bacteria present.
w NJ. Glass, fairly acceptable
S. L. Brewster. not acceptable; too many

w. NJ. Glass, very acceptable: only o
small number Of bacteria present.
The results as shown by the above TESTS
mean that the dealers will have to give
more attention to section $685. article l. of
the milk inspection ordinance. which says
no milk shall be delivered to customers
or at any milk depot al a higher temporal
ture than 30 degrees f. II milk is not
cooled to as low temperature as possible
after being drawn and kept this way until
delivered, the bacteria content of such
milk is liable to become enormous.

also made
Two speciments OF blood for malarial
parasites. with negative results.
One specimen of blood for typhoid, with
negative result.
One blood serum culture for diphtheria,
with negative result.

INDUSTRIAL NEWS.

Coal operators are complaining of car
shortage. ]. r. Ryan of the Corona Coal
and Iron company said yesterday that
while the capacity of his company's
largest mine was 24O0 tons day. only
about 1900 tons were being produced be-
cause not enough cars were furnished to
haul more. The full capacity of all the
mines of the Corona company is about 5000
tons day.
The Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron COM
pany is building many neat and comfort
able cottages at its Bessie mines, re-
Gently developed. Those in course of
construction are let to a contractor at
fifty-odd thousand dollars.
The Alabama Consolidated Coal and Iron
company is opening it's ore mine on the
Louisville and Nashville, one mile from
Gate City. Work has progressed rapidly.
A large crusher has been installed and
the company is now getting out 200 tons
a day. In few months the output will
be 1000 tons daily. This is called the Ham,
mond mine, in compliment to the popular
chief clerk of the company. The Alabama
Consolidated has just completed $50 new
coke ovens-50 at Searles and 100 at Lewis
burg. The ovens were built by Joseph
Meighan.
Miners in the Birmingham district re-
ceive 57Is cents for cutting coal. This is
the maximum fixed on the selling price
of iron. The wage has stood at 57Da for
some time and as the price of iron is like
ly to remain on high level the rest of
the year the miner can count on big wages
until Christmas anyway.

furnace No. 5, at Ensley which went into
commission recently, is making a good

fore yesterday scores of men hzve found
work at openshop mines. At Brookside
yesterday thirty Slavs, who worked for
the Sloss-Shnield company but who left
the company when the strike was ordered,
returned to their old Jobs. 1t Is thought
that the ending of the strike will have.
within short time, a very beneficial
effect on the labor situation in the Bir-
mingham district.

End Of Weed Cutting In Sight.

Street Commissioner McCartin reports
that although the thorough cleaning to
which the yards, vacant lots and the
streets of the city are being subjected
is necessarily slow, that the work is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The undertaking
is voluminous. The vast quantities of cut
weeds and other rubbish being carted to
the dump pile attest this fact. However,
1t is expected by the middle of next week
that the end of the work will be reached
and that the sanitary condition of Bir-
mingham will then be all that is desired.
