PENNSYLVANIA COLD STORAGE
LAW.

LII W.
A bulletin has just been issued by
the Pennsylvania state dairy and food
commission Office in reference to the
new cold storage bill which became
operative August 14th. All storage
houses must operate under a license
and must be kept in sanitary con-
dition, under penalty of fine or they
will be closed up.
Important provisions noted in the
bulletin follow:
"Cold storage warehousemen must
keep records of all food entries and
Withdrawals, and report them period
ically to the dairy and food commits
siOner.
"Agents of the commissioner will
maintain an inspection of the sanitary
conditions, the accounting and mark
ing of foods in cold storage ware
houses, as we'll as examinations as to
the wholesomenesso of the foods offered
for and kept in cold storage.
"The dairy and food commissioner
is authorized to close warehouses not
maintaining sanitary conditions.
''The penalties are, for the first
offence, fine of $500 maximum; for
a second offence, a fine of $1,000
maximum, or Jail sentence of 30 to
80 days, or both.
"Every person operating cold
storage warehouse must do so under a
state license.
"Every artifcially cooled place
where any food is held at 40 degrees
Fahrenheit or under for 30 days or
more is cold storage warehouse.
"Fresh meats, fresh products there
from, fresh poultry, fresh food, fish,
eggs and butter are the articles of
food affected by the act.
"Apy such food entered in a cold
storage warehouse thereby becomes at
once cold storage food.
"Each warehouse must be officially
examined before a license to operate
it shall issue, and no license can be
issued il the warehouse is unfit in
sanitary condition or equipment.
All cold storage foods or their con-
tainers must bear the date of their
entry into and withdrawal from cold
storage.
"Cold storage foods sold at whole
sale must bear the label wholesome
cold storage, printed in large type.
and the date of original entry of the
food into cold storage.
"Such foods exposed for sale at re-
tail must be accompanied by similar
label, and when sold, must be deliver

Of her eggs but by her poor laying,
and she may then be killed to prevent
further trouble. A further fact is
that chicks over three or four days old
cannot be infected by the germs from
the outside in food or water or drop

keep all chicks without food or water
for at least 72 hours after hatch and
SO covered to keep them quiet that
they do not pick at the droppings of

the disease even though they become

that none should survive the broiler

Infection OF grown or adult stock

flock of unaffected ones has not been
as yet conclu sively proven, although
experiments are now under way to
prove or disprove this; yet certain
indications seem to show that this in

with. Sour milk experiments have

checking the disease when started and
also in preventing it among normal

been most conclusively proven as a
germ disease. The proving of that
fact alone is of vast encouragement tC
every intelligent poultryman in the
world. An encouragement, because

warns and forearms those whom ii
would persecute. When the scourge
first made its appearance poultrymen
everywhere were panic stricken; this
unknown and mysterious blight, ap
pearing almost in season, threatened
to completely annihilate all domestic
poultry. But David arose to slay
this Goliath. To Prof. Frederic
Stoneburn, professor of poultry hus
bandry, should be given all the praise
for the uncovering of this most in
sidious foe to little chick life. Be
lieving that some such germ existed
which caused the tremendous mortal
ity among little chicks, he enlisted
the services of frst-class scientist
from Yale Experiment Station in the
person of DR.. Rettger, and their care.

discovered the "Bugo which was do

much has been revealed to safeguard

Investigations are still being pur

terized the work of Prof. Stoneburn
by Prof. Kirkpatrick, his successor
at Storrs, and DR.. Rettger, and much
valuable information has been cleaned
as to the workings of this germ. One
fact, among others, has been estab-

the original source of the trouble is
the ovaries Of the mother hen. Per.

this disease, and plainly to the naked

The diseased ovaries have a purple

shape they are formed by the fingers;
