WAR ON BAD MILK.
DR.. Crumbine Will Try to Renovate
Topeka Diaries.

DR.. S. ]. Crumbine, state pure food
inspector, is at work on a campaign
for a cleanup in the Topeka milk sup
ply, and the dairies which furnish the
town with milk.
A few weeks ago, about 40 samples
of milk were collected in Topeka from
the wagons of milk men. These sam
pies were Analyzed for hutter fat, ana
the showing was generally very good
The standard for milk is 325 butter
fat. There were only five of the sam
pies below the standard Falling below
standard indicates that the milkman IS
watering his milk. The lowest sample
was 2.90. Some of the samples, how
ever. went as high as or per cent. ;s
OF still greater interest, however, is
Dr. Crumbines effort to have the dairy
herds which supply Topeka tested 1or
tuberculosis. Milk from tubercuiar
cattle is liable to infect the human
system with tubercular germs. The
alarming prevalence of tuberculosis
among cattle has not been fully under
sood until recent years, and by many
the spread of tuberculosis in the human
family is attributed In great measurs
to diseased cow milk.
Dr. Crumbine secured from the bu-
reau of animal industry at Washington
some of the tuberculine, with Wmch
tests for tuberculosis in cattle are
made. He secured permission to test
the Is COWS in the 1Leuenberger dairy
cattle was taken twice during the day,
and on the morning following, por-
tion of the tuberculine was 1n1ected
into each COW. In two of the COWS, the
temperature rose at once from 1ol 10
106 or 107. and this indicated tubercular
infection, though otherwise the cattle
appeared perfectly healthy. The two
infected cows were at once eliminated
from the herd, and this dairy now mas
a clean herd Mr.. Leuenberger says
that hereafter he will have all COWS
tested for tuberculosis before buying :,
Dr. Crumbine will try to persuade an
the other dairymen who supply IopeHs
with milk to have their cows testeo
for tuberculosis, and says:
IT shall present these facts TO tns
Shawnee County Medical society, ana
enlist the assistance of the doctors In
driving off the market all milk which
does not come from dairies which have
been inspected for tuberculosis COWS
which respond to the tuberculosis test
very often have the disease only IN
mild form, and can be safely sold for
heef. 1t is only when the tissues OF
fine body become infected with tuber-
cular germs that the inspectors con-
denim the flesh for food. So a COW
which would not do for dairy purposes
might be saleable to the packing house,
and hence would not be loss to the
dairyman."
