SAYS DAIRYMEN
 NEED PROTECTION
 FROM THE PUBLIC
MIX Producer Declares One of Largest Evils Is in Condition
 Receptacles Are Returned By Many Users; The Dairy Side.

H. E. BohmfOlk. we'll known Osborn dairyman, was in the city yesterday Incidentally Mir. Bohmfonx had few things to say for the dairymen in connection with the recent milk dis oussion. What he did have to remark was put forth in a businesslike way. pleasantly. but strongly.
 T believe in milk tests and i'm com polling dealers to come up to a right standard. he said. "I believe an milk dealers who are otherwise entitled to consideration. straight men. will agree with me. for none know better than do the dairymen just how bad thing bad milk is You can only know through the experience you get in handling large quantities There is nothing cleaner or better under right conditions, and there Is nothing dirt Ter under wrong conditions
 Tn the recent discussion the attack was an on the milk dealers. There are two sides to everything. and We are no exception in this case. The min ] am furnishing came up to the re- quired standard in butter fats. in fact was above the standard. but suffered as did everybody elses from some im- purities. Taking up the points one at the time, l will say that it costs a lot to attain the standard in butter fats in this section We do not water our milk. nor skim it. but still We have trouble in bringing it up in richness The reason is that we have little or no green feed, comparatively speak ing. 1t is not attainable along with the shade and running water which are essential along with grain feed to produce milk at its best. We are obliged by conditions here to feed too much dry stuff And the dry fec ! costs ug igh. It runs expenses uD without g'ving proporticnate returns in either quantity of milk or quality If we could turn out on grass and running water we could get returns far ahead of those from our dry feed and at far less expense.
 Now, ] am going to touch briefly on the subject of impurities in milk I Want to say that l believe the milk dealers will continue to suffer under great injustice until they compel the passage of a law which will pro- vide a severe penalty for persons who do not take proper care of milk bot lies and cans before returning these to Che dairymen Therein lies, our ur- gent source of trouble in milk impru- ities Also therein lies the greatest danger to the public from the spread of disease through milk At the dairies we exercise the greatest care in clean ing cows before milking in keeping milk clean until it is put in the jars and cans and sealed, but we cannot always overcome the carelessness of the public. I have seen cans and jars, of my own and of other dairy men. put out to go back to the dairy men which were not only filthy. but which actually contained animal life even with magots working in the decayed filth-and all because a care less. ignorant housekeeper. servant ol attendant in some public place had not WdhHeu llib DOlle oi eIaH dlll emptying it. This is really crim inal offense lt should be made pun ishable by a severe fine and on sec ond offense the offender should als' receive a jail sentence. In othe words the consumer should be reg ulated as well as the producer.
 Every bottle and can taken bacl to the dairy is Of course thoroughl scaIded and otherwise cleaned Bu from the filthy ones we do not alway get everything injurious. It is ques tion. Of course we try Co keep th
