WILL QUIT THE MILK BUSINESS.
 SAYS THIS FARMER.

A dairyman whose name We withhold received the following letter from the Department of Health of New York City. As he will have to practically rebuild his barns. if he continues to send milk to New York, he says with disgust, that he will quit the milk bus mess. If the milk inspectors are to require such high standard, the farmers in self defence must receive more for their product. This is self evident. The letter follows:

 City of New York, s. w. Cor 55th Street & Sixth Avenue,
 Borougho of Manhattan.
 New York. Jan. r, 1908.

 That the yard be kept clean and dry at all times and that no piles of ma nure be allowed to collect therein or thereon.
 That an inspection of the herd by veterinaria be made and a copy of hi |, report forwarded to this Department.
 That the long hairs on the belly, Hanks and udder be clipped and kept short at all times to prevent any cling ing manure or filth from dropping into the milk.
 That clean special suits be provided for all the attendants engaged in the production and handling of milk.
 That the practice of "wet hand milk ing" be discontinued at once.
 That the first few streams or fore milk from each teat, on account of its poor quality and harmful bacteria be discarded.

Any further information which you may desire in relation to this matter. may be obtained from the Chief Sani- tary Inspector. Borough of'Manhattan, 55th Street & Sixth Avenue, who is to be notified as soon as these improve ments are completed. Respectfully, I Eugene N. Schepply, Secretary.

regards revision. In substance. he made
plain that it was proposed 20 do JUST
enough revising. to carry out the letter
of the platform. The fact IS that the
letter of the platform may be most
emphaucally executed, without any

which have caused the nationwide
demand for real revision.

that case. honest revision dictates a cut
of much more than 90 per cent. How

counsel of experience and intimate

Insincerity might give the 80 per cent

Perhaps the most Illuminating state

statement Of another steel manufacturer
in a midwest city, who, with

This industry uses steel as raw ma
