and which is inhabited also by a
flock of geese and two dogs. None

milk a day. He buys the milk, but

certain extent, but that he contln.
ued TO handle the same amount Of
milk, and instead of retailing il,
made It into cottage cheese under
the same unsanitary conditions as
led 10 his arrest first.
