issued to said applicant; all extra brands so issued shall be and 

 remain the property of the State of New York, subject in all 

 respects to regulations prescribed by the Commissioner of

6. No brand shall be used upon cheese made at any other 

 manufactory than the one for which the brand -was issued, nor 

 shall the brand be used to mark or brand any box or package. 



7. Any and all brands becoming injured, worn or otherwise 

 unfit for use, must be promptly returned to this Department; in 

 case of destruction or loss by fire or otherwise, a written state- 

 ment of the facts and circumstances connected therewith must 

 be forwarded to this Department by the person having charge 

 of the same.

 that some of the above regulations have been wholly ignored. 

 It is therefore advised that these rules and regulations must be 

 strictly observed. An agent of the Department will call at dif- 

 ferent factories from time to time, and if brands are found not 

 properly cared for as required by the regulations, such action 

 will be taken as the statute warrants.

Section 33. Every manufacturer of full milk cheese may put 

 a brand upon each cheese indicating "full milk cheese," and the 

 date of the month and year when made, and no person shall use 

 such a brand upon any cheese made from milk from which any 

 of the cream has been taken. The Commissioner of Agriculture 

 shall procure and issue to the cheese manufacturers of the 

 State, on proper application therefor, and under such regula-

 uniform stencil brand, bearing a suitable device or motto, and 

 the words " New York State full cream cheese." Every such 

 brand shall be used upon the outside of the cheese, and shall 

 bear a different number for each separate factory. The commis- 

 sioner shall keep a book in which shall be registered the name, 

 location and number of each manufactory using the brand, and 

 the name or names of the persons at each manufactory author- 

 ized to use the same. No such brand shall be used upon any 

 other than full cream cheese or packages containing the same.
