§ 47. Receptacles to be cleansed before returning; receptacles 

 may be seized; evidence; violation; milk can inspectors. Whenever 

 any can or receptacle is used for transporting or conveying milk, 

 cream or curd to market for the purpose of selling or furnishing 

 the same for consumption as human food, which can or receptacle, 

 when emptied, is returned or intended to be returned to the person 

 so selling, furnishing or shipping such substance to be again thus 

 used, or which is liable to continued use in so transporting, con- 

 veying, selling or shipping such substance as aforesaid, the con- 

 sumer, dealer or consignee using, selling or receiving the milk, 

 cream or curd from such can or receptacle, shall, before so return- 

 ing such can or receptacle remove all substances foreign to milk 

 therefrom, by rinsing with water or otherwise. When any 

 such milk, cream or curd is sold within any city of this state or 

 shipped into any such city, the fact of such shipment or sale shall 

 be prima facie evidence that the same was so shipped or sold for 

 consumption as human food. When any such can or receptacle is 

 returned or delivered or shipped to any person or creamery so 

 selling such substance within, or shipping the same into such city, 

 it is deemed that such can or receptacle is liable to such continued 

 use in so selling or shipping such substance therein for consump- 

 tion as human food within the meaning and purposes of this 

 section and section forty-six. ^o person shall place or suffer to 

 be placed in any such can or receptacle any sweepings, refuse, dirt, 

 litter, garbage, filth or any other animal or vegetable substance, 

 nor shall any such consignee or other person through himself, his 

 agent or employee, bring or deliver to any person or railroad or 

 other conveyance any such can or receptacle for the purpose of 

 such return, or any milk, cream or curd can or receptacle for the 

 purpose of delivery or shipment to any person or creamery en- 

 gaged in so selling or shipping such substances for consumption 

 as human food, which can or receptacle contains such foreign sub- 

 stance or which has not been rinsed as herein ])rovided. The 

 word " curd " as used in this section and section forty-six applies 

 to the substance otherwise known as '' pot cheese " or " cottage
