That the farmers in the neighborhood
of Kenosha are to blame in a great
part for dirty milk being sold in Ke
nosha is shown by the results of exam
nations of milk taken from farmers
wagons during the past few days. The
examinations of these samples was COM
pleted in the city laboratory this
morning. The samples were given only
the sediment test and the best that any
of them registered was "dirty' while
nearly all of the twenty five samples
tested were returned as livery dirty"
The samples have been numbered and
examined under the same conditions as
samples taken from the milk wagons
of the retail dealers in the city and
the report is one that shows that lot
of work must be done to clean up the
milk supply of the city. These samples
were taken from cans brought in from
the farms before the milk had been
delivered to the dairymen
cit is a mighty poor showing for
the farms of Kenosha county" declar-
ed Inspector w. z. Nelson this morn
ing. "Not one of these samples even
approach condition which could be
passed as "clean." Every sample was
found to be pretty well filed with sedi-
ment. 1t is possible that an examina-
tion of this milk along meteorological
lines would show that it was more dan
gerous than is shown by the sediment
test. These tests show that the re-
tail milk merchants are not entirely
to blame for conditions in Kenosha.
The samples which have been tested
were all secured at one milk warehouse
and as rapidly as possible we are ex-
tending these tests to the other deal
ers of the city. The men whose pro-
duct has been tested will be notified at
once that they must clean up their
dairies and that other tests will be
made from time to time until the pro-
duct is found to be clean. These men
have been informed that if they con-
time to bring in milk so filed with
sediment as to make it Every dirty
that their product will be barred from
Kenosha the same as it is now being
barred from other cities We have
something exact to work on now We
can show these people that they are
producing milk under bad conditions
and that the conditions must be chang
ed or they must get out of the bust
ness. The examination OF milk
samples is to go forward every day
from now on until we have examined
samples of the product of as many
farms as possible.
