Keep Only Healthy Cows.

Certified milk as a grade of milk is
twenty-one years old, having been
launched in Newark, n j., III 1892.
soon thereafter milkmen began to
cheat by claiming that their ordinary
market milk was certified Says Doc
tor Cort:
1T was found that local milhmen
were surreptitiously placing it (the
word certiiedl on their milk wagons.
1t became necessary to seek some pro
lection"
The first certifying commission was
organized in 1898 and June II, 1898.
the first milk bearing the official stamp

Certified milk is milk produced
under circumstances certified TO by

duction of milk from COW to consumer

nizes. The most natural watcher for
baby milk is the mother Of the baby
but she has her baby to watch Be

Not being argus-eyed. she must have

Milk commissions are for the pur-
pose of helping her watch. These com
missions license men to produce certi.
fed milk. They Will not license a

that contract he agrees to build proper
barns. keep none but healthy COWS. to
employ none but healthy mixers. 20

The supervision is of the product as
well as the method Of production.
Certified milk must contain twelve
parts solids. 3.5 to So parts butter fat,
must be free from visible dirt. must
contain less than 10000 bacteria. must
be less than twenty-four hours old a
little under so degrees Fahrenheit. and
