Third Annual Report of the 



densed milk received over the different routes on the day that the 

 inspections were made, to wit: 



Total cans daily, milk 22,071 



Total cans daily, cream 796 



Total cans daily, condensed milk 246 



Total cans daily, all kinds 23,113 



The above average daily receipt for August, of crude milk, 

 cream and condensed milk, is equal to a daily receipt of 27,312 

 cans of crude milk. 



The foregoing statement of the inspection of milk on arrival in 

 the city of New York and Brooklyn, showed by the test applied, 

 as compared with the proceeding year, about the same average in 

 the number of cans of milk that were of doubtful standard. But 

 the milk inspected during the year, after it had reached the hands 

 of the retail dealers has shown a slightly decreased percentage of 

 adulteration. 



It is impossible, with the limited force in this division, to keep 

 the adulteration of milk down to the minimum standard reached 

 six years ago, when a much larger force was employed. In order 

 to enforce the Agricultural Law as fully as the interest of both 

 consumer and producer demands double the force now employed 

 in the Metropoliton district is required. 



The following tables will give the receipt in New York city of 

 crude milk, unsweetened condensed milk and cream, over the 

 different railroads and transportation lines, during the year erd- 

 ing September 30, 1895, as taken from the milk reporter.
