Dairymen S. c. Yarbrough. Isaac Towns
and T. II. Smith were arrested mad fined
$40 each in police court for selling or Of
fering for sale in the city milk adulterdlsi
by the addition of water.
This practice of adulterating milk in any
manner must cease. and in future II
dairymen or dealers decide that they can
net afford to sell pure wholesome milk
they should quit the business, and the
department will give them all the as
sistance possible in order to aid them IN
doing SO, by recommending to the City
Council the revocation of their permits
and license.
This practice is not only fraud from
monetary point of view. but it is danger
Gus inasmuch as the water Used may be
collected from a contaminated source,
polluted well or spring, containing ty-
phoid or other dangerous organisms.
archaeological examinations were made
of Il samples of milk collected from deal
ers and dairNmen and in ali except Two
instances the results were satisfactory.
IN the two eases mentioned the high
count was found to be due TO improper
cooling and high temperatures, and the
dairyman were warned and their atten-
ton directed to the necessity of proper
cooling and the greatest degree of cleanli-
ness in handling milk.

! during the month, visiting and inspecting
| number of diaries Mr.. Riser is here to
| interest the dairymen in government plans
| for the construction of dairy barns, milk
| houses. the construction of silos for the
| harvesting and keeping OF feeds for dairy
| herds and other matters pertaining to
! Improvement in the dairy industry. This
| gentleman will spend more time with the
| department soon. and we recommend that
! the dairymen solicit the assistance and
! cooperation of the government official in
| bringing about improvements in the dairy
| business in the district.
As many as possible of the dairymen
| should take advantage of the opportunity
| of getting aid and instruction in building
! and equipping up-to-date dairy barns,
| dairy houses and silos. These improve
ments will be after the most improved
| type. the plans and bill of material need
ed being furnished free II the dairymen
| by the department at Washington.
| Mr.. Risser's services will cost the dairy
! men nothing and they should certainly
| build and properly equip dairies that will
| be in keeping with our greater city, fer
| no well informed and progressive dairy
| man will attempt to claim that a large
| percentage of the diaries of the district
| are all that they should be- The objects
| and aims of the departments are to obtain
| results, and consequently economy has
! been considered by the government arch
| itect. and so it will not cost an enor-
I NOUS amount of money to build according
| to the government plans. Respectfully
| submitted. +. NJ. DUNCAN,
Chief OF Department.
