License Necessary

Any person in Montana who sells
milk, cream or butter. even though
the product be that from only one
COW. must be licensed by the live
stock sanitary board, under the pro-
visions of Senate Eill zoo passed by
the recent regular assembly of the

Perhaps the chief featur of this
measure that re-organized the live

ing to the inspection of dairie AMI

like with the livestock commission.
Under the old law, the dairy COM
missioner inspected the daires anu
