Off. Doc. 



Publicity Aids in Makino- Improvements. 



The publication of the results of inspection has a strong moral 

 effect. Most dairymen have pride enough not to want to be at the 

 bottom of the list, and if their record is published, there is a con- 

 stant incentive for them to come up higher. The following shows the 

 method of publishing scores in one city, as well as the condition of tlie 

 dairies :
