CERTIFIED MILK.

The first bulletin in the new depart
mental series of the United States de-
partment OF agriculture Is a contribu-
ton from the bureau of animal in
dustry entitled Medical Milk Commits
sions and Certified Milk" This is
revision Of a previous bulletin on the
same subject.
The organization and objects Of the
first milk commission are described
and the origin and meaning of Ger
titled milk are set forth. The word
certified" has been registered in the
United States patent office and may
only be used by duly organized med
ical milk commission.
The first milk commission was or
ganized in 1898. Since that time over
so commissions have been established,
but nearly one-third of that number
are inactiveePt present.
About $50 dairies are engaged in
producing certified milk and the daily
production Is nearly $4,000 gallons,
an increase of 800 per cent. in five
years. While this seems a remark
able increase, it should be remember
ed that only one-half of one per cent.
of the total milk supply of the coun-
try is certified.
While the chief demand for certi-
fed milk is for infants and sick peo-
pie, it further serves to teach the pub
lie the value of careful methods in
milk production and the extra cost
of absolutely clean milk.
The bulletin describes the equip
ment and methods necessary for the
production of certified milk. 1t is
pointed out that expensive equipment
is not necessity SO much as a care
full and unremitting attention to de-
tails.
In 1907 the American Association of
American Milk Commissions was or
ganized The methods and standards
for the production and distribution of
certified milk adopted by this asso-
citation at it's 1912 meeting are given
in the appendix to the bulletin.
