308 Annual Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture. 



No. 1651. 



The People v. John Macauley. 



Police Court, Rochester, N. 7., Charles B. Ernst, Justice. 



Warrant issued June 8, 1895; defendant pleaded guilty and was 

 fined twenty-five dollars. 



Counsel : John F. Kinney. 



Witnesses: Jos. M. Quigley, George Bernard, and chemist, 

 Samuel A. Lattimore. 



GENERAL INSPECTIONS. 



We have during the year visited all the cities and larger towns 

 in this division, in each case making a. general inspection of all 

 such articles as come under our supervision that were found on 

 sale, thoroughly examining all stores as well as peddlers upon 

 the streets. Whenever, during the season, a complaint has been 

 received from either a cheese or butter factory, it has been our 

 endeavor to attend to the same immediately, even though we had 

 but recently visited the same factory. 



Barn inspections have been numerous, the sanitary conditions 

 being satisfactory. Most of the vinegar manufactories have, at 

 some time during the year, been inspected and the product tested, 

 and all such found pure and up to the standard. 



In conclusion, I wish to express my satisfaction with the ex- 

 perts connected with this division, George Bernhard and Joseph 

 M. Quigley, and in particular would I thank Prof. Samuel A. 

 Lattimore, chemist, for his uniform courtesy and the able assist- 

 ance he has rendered both the experts and myself, particularly 

 in the butter inspections before mentioned; also Hon. John F. 

 Kinney for the prompt and efficient manner in which he has at- 

 tended to the legal business of the department. 



Very truly yours, 



JOHN H. FOLEY, 



Assistant Commissioner.
