INSPECTION OF DIARIES
Milk Men Are Taking More Interest In Complying With Law-Some Commercial Waters Are
 Found Unsatisfactory.

Meat and Milk Inspector E. NJ. Dun cans monthly report for May on the milk inspections made during the month shows that general conditions in the dairies in the city are somewhat im- proved. More attention is being given by the dairymen to cooling milk and keeping it properly cooled until delivered. This i5 a material benefit in decreasing the bacterial contents of the milk, which necessarily means better quality of milk for the public consumption.
 majority of the dairymen are taking more interest and precauton, in general, as to the essentials necessary to be ob- served in producing more satisfactory milk supply. Improvement is noted at the dairies generally, and while many of the barns need to be whtewashed the gen. eral sanitary condition is favorable. Sev- eral of the dairymen are using sanitary milk pals which are being handled by local firm.
