DR.. Jones Tells Some Startling Facts
About Dairies.-The seventh milk lecture
under the auspices of the State Board of Health
took place few nights ago in Mccoy Hall,
Baltimore, where the Assistant Health Com
missioner, DR.. G. Hampson Jones, spoke to
large audience on 1.-The Prospects and Needs
of the Milk Supply of Baltimore" DR.. Jones
illustrated his lecture with pictures of condi-
tions in the stables of Baltimore.
Words cannot possibly convey" he said,
ian idea of the awful condition of some of the
stables of Highlandtown and vicinity. One
stable has 68 cows. When the stable door Is
closed there is not enough light to make the
cows clearly visible. The poor beasts are kept
chained up in such a place for weeks and
months without fresh air, sunlight or exercise.
The width of the stall is barely enough to let
the cows lie down. and the stalls are too short
to keep the tails of the cows from lying in filth
in the trenches that are intended to act as
drains.
sIn perfect keeping with such conditions
we find the milkmaids. Their clothing is filthy,
and if they ever washed their faces aud hands
it must have been done unintentionally. Filthi'
ness was especially evidenced by the condition
of their hands, which were shaded by layers
of manure that differed one from the other in
age only.
with cobwebs-whitewash being apparently
unknown-and filth covered the sides and raf-
tiers of the stable. The milkmaids sleep in
loft above, which was heated by the body heat
of the COWS. The 40quart cans were in bad
condition and were kept in small, dirty, dark
shed, just outside the stable. They were I'm.
covered aud filled with milk. This stable was
| the worst of all.
There were others that presented conditions
| almost equal toit On March 49, 1906, the bac-
| THEOLOGICAL laboratory reported an examina-
| ton made of the milk produced at this place /;
| one cubic centimeter of milk was taken from
| the specimen taken from the milk bucket. 1t
showed 1926, 900 bacteria
| By the aid of stereoscopic pictures DR.. Jones
| outlined the remedies for these conditions.
Many of the views showed the average dairy
and stable with their dirt and unsanitary ar.
| engagements. Then he showed the model
dairy and its superiority over the others.
