MOLINE

Many unsanitary Diaries. - Five
tenths of dairy farms which supply
milk-to dairymen to peddle among Mo.
line patrons were found to be unsani-
tary by Health Inspector George T.
Kemmerling in his inspections of the
last fortnight, and notice has been
served by Commissioner E. L. Eastman
on 20 farmers to make changes within
10 days or suffer penalty. Thirty-sfx
farms were inspected and only 16
passed the test. Others, due largely
to lack of knowledge of improved
methods for sanitation and lack of
equipment, were below standard. The
inspector viewed Sc herds of cattle in
which there were 400 animals. All
were found to be apparently in
healthy condition. Report shows that
Moline people consume s74 gallons of
milk sold by dairymen each day. The
Deere farm was found to be almost
model of immaculate perfection and
out of a possible 95 points it scored
IS4.
