DR.. ROWLES'S BIG JOB
He Travelled 10000 Miles Last Year
Visiting Dairy Farms.

1t is some job that DR.. l. w
Rowles. city food and milk inspector
has. His annual report just Issued in
pamphlet form shows that during the
year 1915 twenty thousand miles was
covered in visiting dairy farms and
gathering samples of milk for testing
purposes.
The report shows there are fifty
three dairymen furnishing milk to To-
pekans and that these dairymen get
their supply of milk from 2,491 cows.
In addition, there are PAS COWS owned
by 144 residents of the city. These
cows are designated as town cows.
During the year there was a total of
S13 meteorological counts and a total
of S51 milk-fat tests made. The re-
port shows that one-fifth of the milk
supplied to Topeka last year would
have come in the class of certified
milk if there had been a commission
to certify it.
