§ 54. Regulations  in  regard to manufactories, plants or places where
  milk or cream is brought or received.  No person shall sell,  supply  or
  bring  to  any  butter  or cheese factory or to any plant or place which
  manufactures a food product from milk or which ships or sells  milk  for
  consumption  any  milk  diluted  with  water,  or  any  unclean, impure,
  unhealthy, adulterated or unwholesome milk, or milk from  which  any  of
  the  cream  has  been  taken,  except  pure  skim  milk  to  skim-cheese
  factories. No person shall sell, supply or bring to be  manufactured  to
  any butter or cheese factory or to any plant or place which manufactures
  a  food  product  from milk or which ships or sells milk for consumption
  any milk that is sour or from which has been kept back any part  of  the
  milk  commonly known as strippings, except pure skim milk to skim-cheese
  factories. The owner or proprietor or the person having  charge  of  any
  such  manufactory,  plant  or  place where milk is received for any such
  purpose, not buying all the milk used by him, shall not use for his  own
  benefit,  or  allow  any of his employees or any other person to use for
  his own benefit, any milk, cream, butter or cheese or any other  product
  thereof,  brought  to such factory, without the consent of the owners of
  such milk or the products thereof.  Every  such  manufactory,  plant  or
  place  not buying all the milk used, shall keep a correct account of all
  the milk or cream daily received, of the number of  packages  of  butter
  and  cheese  made  each  day,  and  the number of packages and aggregate
  weight of cheese and butter disposed of each day; which account shall be
  open to inspection to any person who delivers milk to such  manufactory,
  plant  or  place.  Every purchaser or receiver of milk from the producer
  thereof, for manufacturing purposes or for reselling the same, shall  on
  written request therefor, tender daily thereafter at time of delivery to
  such  producer,  or to the person delivering such milk to such purchaser
  in behalf of such producer, a written statement of the amount of milk so
  received or purchased  until  or  unless  such  producer  notifies  such
  purchaser  in  writing  that  he  no longer desires such statement; such
  statement shall give, first, the name of the producer or seller, second,
  the date of delivery, third, the amount so delivered, fourth,  shall  be
  signed  by  the  purchaser  or  his duly authorized representative; such
  statement shall be given in the terms of the unit used as  a  basis  for
  determining the value thereof. Such purchaser or receiver shall, at each
  periodical  time  of  payment for such milk, give each such producer, so
  delivering milk, a statement showing the amount of milk delivered during
  the periodical time for which payment  is  made,  and  the  average  per
  centum  of butter fat test of same, provided payment is made on basis of
  butter fat content.
Any person having charge of a milk gathering station or  establishment
  as  aforesaid  shall  keep  a  true  and  correct  monthly record of the
  receipts of milk or other dairy products received  at  such  station  or
  establishment,  and  also a true and correct monthly record of all sales
  or shipments of milk, cream or other dairy products shipped or sold from
  such station or establishment, and shall also keep a  true  and  correct
  monthly  record  of  the amount of skim milk produced in such station or
  establishment and of the disposition of  said  skim  milk.  Such  record
  shall  be  preserved  at  such station or establishment for at least two
  years after the same shall have been made and such records shall at  all
  times  be  open to the inspection of the commissioner, his assistants or
  agents. When  cream  is  sold  or  shipped  from  any  such  station  or
  establishment  so selling or shipping milk for consumption as aforesaid,
  each original bottle or package of one quart or less of cream so shipped
  or sold shall bear a label securely attached to the side of such  bottle
  or  package  on which shall be conspicuously printed the word "cream" in
  black letters of at least one-fourth of an inch in length  or  else  the

  word  "cream"  shall be blown in the side of such bottle in plain raised
  letters of at least one-half an inch in length, and the top and side  of
  each  and  every  other  original  package  or  can  containing cream or
  original  crate  or  case containing bottles of cream so shipped or sold
  shall bear a label securely attached on  which  shall  be  conspicuously
  printed the word "cream" in black letters of at least one inch in length
  and  also  a  plainly  written or printed statement on the label stating
  from whom and what station the same is  shipped  and  the  name  of  the
  consignee  and  point of destination and date on which the cream therein
  was produced by such separation or skimming. The shipment  of  each  and
  every  such  original  package of cream so shipped and not so labeled as
  herein required shall constitute a separate violation.
