LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
How the state Is Being Mnde to Pm!
for Diseased Cattle Mt n Big LOSS.

To the Editor Of tho Free Press;
Much has been said lately by the press
regarding important legislation to be
considered this fall at Montpelier.
Allow me to call your attention to a
very important matter which have not
seen mentioned, one that certainly
should receive grave consideration.
In to-day's Free Press there is an Item
as follows
The farm Of Charles King of South
burlington was a scene of carnage yes
terday when 81 head OF tuberculous cat
tie were killed by order OF the State
cattle commission -
Probably the average reader passed IL
over without second thought yet II
embodied n matter OF vital Importance
TO every tax payer. It meant that 81
cattle had been tested at the State 3
expense. had been slaughtered at the
States expense and payed for by the
State. It meant that a very substantial
sum of money had been payed by the
state for cleaning up the herds of
three men.
When you and ! pay out money we
expect something IN return for II do we
not? When the State pays out money,
which is simply saying that you and I
as tax payers pay out money. should II
not receive something in return for IL?
What then is the value received IN this
case? Three clean herds you say Yes
three clean herds surrounded by many
unclean herds which can not under this
present Law be tested without the own
ers permission; three clean herds liable
TO reinfection at any time because SO
surrounded. Fifty-one carcasses which
the State has paved well for and which
the State elects TO destroy and bury, a
temporary beneNt to three men. and n
permanent good to nobody. that is all
II is worth while?
Probably 50 per cent. OF these cattle
If slaughtered In an abattoir would
have been found NJ for food, the other
30 per cent represented a definite money
value as fertilizer material. and yet the
State having bought these cattle n,
much expense elects to bury them and
sacrifice their value. Is this good sense
II seems to me that It is time 10 re.
cover from the extreme spasm which re.
suited In the present methods and look
ut the matter OF tuberculin testing with
little reason.
The system In vogue Is costing the
State very great deal OF money and
In my opinion is doing very little IL any

CLEANER MILK.
Laboratory OmcinIs Say THAT samples
Submitted Arc Improving IN quality.

Milk from different parts OF the
State is being continually sent to the
state laboratory of hygiene in this
city analized and as rule most OF
the samples submitted are improving
in cleanliness. Milk from many OF the
outside cities and towns was found
to he abnormally dirty during the
early summer. but. thanks TO the
members of tho state board Of health
and the state laboratory officials,
things are improving.
Milk now being submitted is much
cleaner than formerly. but there is
still room for Improvement In some
quarters. Samples MIXED at the same
time, taken from the dairy and arriv-
ing at the laboratory AZ the came time
show marked differences Some of the
samples are very sour. some sour and
others perfectly sweet This is caused,
no doubt, by the neglect of the dairy
mon themselves. in neglectinR to pro-
perly cool the milk after milking. Be
sides keeping the milk clean, the
dairymen should see that the milk is
properly cooled directly after leaving
the stables otherwise the germs will
multiply In untold numbers and tho
product Will sour quickly.
