ON THE FARM
THE STATES ATTITUDE TOWARD THE COW
By Hon. Heman 0. Averill. State Commissioner of Domestic Animals.
From the Connecticut Fair Bull
 letin.l

The farmers and dalrymen of the State have invested directly in cows and in young stock which they are raising to take the, place of such cows as become unproiitable, about s5,00O,000. If to this be added the amount invested in land, in build ings, In feed, in horses, and other necessary equipment for caring for the COW and marketing her product, it will readily be seen that the busi- ness of producing and delivering milk in the State of Connecticut is an in- dustry of great proportions and should be fostered and protected by wise and friendly legislation. Cows milk is the entire diet for many babies and inyalids and enters very largely into the thrice daily meals of almost every person in the state. 1t will be seen at once that very grave responsibility rests upon the State to see that this necessity of life shall be furnished to the public clean, pure and free from ali germs of  disease. In this connection it is a pleasure for me, and ] believe it to be my duty, to state that the danger to any human of contracting tubercu- losis by drinking milk is very slight indeed if the milk is produced and handled under clean and sanitary conditions People do not refrain from travelling on steam or electric cars owing to fear of taking into the!r systems. through the act of breathing, the dry germs that may be in circulation in the car that were perhaps expurgated on the car floor a few hours previously by hrman coIsumptive. believe. however, that during every minute of the trip they are in greater danger of. con

tracling tuberculosis than they would be from drinking a glass of milk purchased from a reputable dealer. First because the disease is far more easily communicated from one human to another than from the Do, inc to the human. Second, because the respiratory organs are more susceptible to the disease than the digestive tract. It is the right and the duty and it certainly should be the practice of the State to see that the COW is well housed in light and well-ventilataed stables, that she is fed good and wholesome food and that she shall be kept clean and milked in a cleanly manner by clean hands. It is also the duty of the State to require that the clean milk that is produced by the clean and healthy COW shall at once be placed in clean receptables and quickly cooled down to a temperature of fifty degrees Fahrenheit, or less, and kept cool until placed in the con- sumers' hands. I believe that milk when drawn from the COW is free from dangerous disease germs, ex- cept in very rare cases of generalized tuberculosis, or where there is local ized tuberculosis in the udder.. When tubercle bacilli are found in milk it is more than an even chance that they gained their lodgment there from the filth in the stable after the milk was drawn from the COW. The campaign of education that has been carried on during the past few years by State and city officials, by the Connecticut Dairymen's Association and by the press is already bearing fruit, and to-day the milk is delivered to the consumer in this State is purer and cleaner and more wholesome than it ever was before. In closing, l desire to call the tonsumer's at tention 10 the fact that the extra care in producing and handling milk at the present time makes it cost more and maKes it worth more than in the past and that they can do much to encourage the good work along by showing their apprecia- tion by cheerfully paying the farm CT who produces clean milk living price for it.
