RESULTS OF MILK
AND CREAM TEST
SATISFYING
Most of the Samples Show a
High Quality
NONE ARE BELOW STANDARD
This Test Was To Show the Compon-
ent Parts of Products and Not
Conditions Of Production

Editor of tne Banner;-Act No rs,
Laws of 1908, and the Rules and Reg
ulations by the State Board of Health
for the production of certified milk
and cream and conditions under
which these products may be sold,
provides a semi-annual examination
by the Laboratory of Hygiene, in ad-
dltion to the inspections of the herds
producing said milk and cream This
examination in Bennington was made
recently, with results given below
After the state has been to the ex-
pense of enacting tnis law; the local
board putting in a months time in
the inspection of the conditions re-
quired, it has seemed singular that
those interested have not made more
of the advantages contemplated and
which are certainly their due. The
public. itself, remains apparently
quiescent. not particularly caring one
way or the otaer, as far as any pub
lished demonstration is known. And
yet very great advance has been
made right here in Bennington
toward furnishing people with pure
milk, pure cream, and the products
thereof.
The inspections scored excellent"
in all instances but one, and that
was good; none were medium"
nor poor these being the four rat
ings demanded by the rules The
writer is told that the Vermont regu-
lations in this respect are much more
stringent than in neighboring states,
and this should attract people to To-
cate here, as ' ell Us inspire summer
visitors with confidence to pass the
vacation season in Vermont, and
especially in the town of Bennington.
In addition to all this, the milkmen,
themselves. have expended or will do
so quite large sum in the aggregate.
to enable them to obtain licenses and
to sell the certified milk and cream
contemplated by the statute.
The Laboratory analysis is the
second step. The first figures give
the total solids; the second,
solids not fat; and the third, the
butter fat" The lines following
each record are any remarks made in
the returns. Milk comes first; then
cream:

CAMP ILiUM
Y. M. c. A. Camp at BARRIERS Pond
In PoWnal

Y. NJ. Z. n. camp at BARRIERS roma
in poWnal.
The following account of the Troy
Y. NJ. c. A. camp at Barber's Pond
was taken from the Troy Times:
Camp Ilium, established by the
Troy Young Mems Christian Assocla-
lion for a boys camp, on BARRIERS
Pond. near Pownal, VT. and now oc-
cupied by the Association for the
second season, has been very busy
during the last week. There are more
than forty boys at the camp.
The camp has an elevation of more
than a thousand feet above the Hoo
sac River, and is about 400 feet high
er than Bennington. 1t is a mile and
a half from the village of Pownal Cen
ter, which has church and a town
hall and is a trolley station on the
Berkshire Railway. On the hill on
the opposite shore of Barber's Pond
is the bungalow of the Jennings fami-
ly. whose name is historical in the
records of Bennington. TIE trolley
line from Pownal up the hill to Pow
nal Center is one of the most costly
in the country, owing to the cuts
which were necessary to be made
and the road being built on the side
Of the mountain. The grade is heavy
but the ride is one of the most pictur-
esque in this part of the country, ow-
ing to the extent of the views OF
mountain and valley.
The camp will continue until
Thursday, July %.
