Having been given permission by
the state board of health TO sell milk
from the cows on the Otter Creek
Farm south Of Rutland owned by ex-
Gov. John A. Mead, the south route
covered by the wagon from the farm
has started out. The product from
the farm has been withheld from the
market for five weeks, or since the
outbreak of scarlet fever, when over
1875 cases were claimed TO have been
traced to this milk route. In spite Of
this theory, it is said that every test
made Of the milk by the state labora-
tory failed to reveal any signs Of dis
ease in the animals. Since the ban
has been on the farm, the milk has
been separated into cream, this pas
teurized, and made into butter, and
the product sold under the direction Of
the state board of health.

stored. Sprinkle with lemon juice and
garnish with parsley. Broil fish on
wire broiler and you will have no trou-
Bile in turning it in a gas oven. whereas
in the old way the fish will break
when you try to turn it with fork.

out and let it stand in hot water for
five minutes, drain 1t and put on the
