136 ANNUAL REPORT OF THE Off. Doc. 



MILK HYGIENE 



Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report: 



Pursuant to a request from the properly authorized officials of the 

 city of Philadelphia, under the act approved May 21, 1895, this Board 

 undertook the work of inspecting the farms from which the milk 

 supply of Philadelphia was derived. 



The main objects of this inspection were to determine what pro- 

 portion of the supply was coming from bad dairies, and to what ex- 

 tent the supply would be diminished if such places were eliminated. 



It was intended that it should be a campaign of education. To 

 accomplish this purpose only registered veterinarians having an 

 intimate knowledge of animal diseases and principles of hygiene 

 were employed in the work. 



The following form of score card was used:
