  But 
  comparatively 
  little 
  vinegar 
  is 
  being 
  purchased 
  from 
  the 
  

   farmer, 
  who, 
  being 
  unable 
  to 
  guarantee 
  its 
  standard 
  owing 
  to 
  

   unfaniiliarity 
  of 
  test, 
  the 
  retailer 
  is 
  generally 
  purchasing 
  from 
  

   the 
  large 
  vinegar 
  manufacturer 
  or 
  traveling 
  salesman. 
  Trade 
  

   has 
  thus 
  been 
  deflected 
  from 
  many 
  an 
  honest 
  farmer.

  In 
  many 
  places 
  the 
  shipping 
  of 
  " 
  hog-dressed 
  " 
  calves 
  has 
  been 
  

   entirely 
  discontinued; 
  at 
  others 
  the 
  age 
  and 
  weight 
  so 
  increased 
  

   that 
  there 
  is 
  little 
  cause 
  for 
  complaint. 
  To 
  thoroughly 
  inspect 
  

   the 
  shipments 
  from 
  so 
  large 
  a 
  territory, 
  with 
  its 
  numerous 
  rail- 
  

   roads, 
  will 
  require 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  inspector, 
  as 
  at 
  present 
  as- 
  

   signed. 
  A 
  report 
  of 
  seizures 
  made 
  will 
  be 
  found

  MILK. 
  

  

  The 
  increasing 
  demands 
  of 
  Greater 
  Xew 
  York 
  and 
  other 
  ur- 
  

   ban 
  population 
  of 
  the 
  State, 
  together 
  with 
  supplying 
  the 
  neces- 
  

   sary 
  amount 
  of 
  milk 
  required 
  by 
  the 
  condenseries, 
  has 
  led 
  the 
  

   farmers 
  of 
  Delaware, 
  Dutchess, 
  Orange, 
  Putnam 
  and 
  Sullivan 
  

   counties 
  to 
  generally 
  turn 
  their 
  undivided 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   duction 
  of 
  this 
  most 
  necessary 
  article 
  of 
  food. 
  

  

  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  immense 
  quantities 
  of 
  this 
  product 
  now 
  being 
  

   produced 
  in 
  and 
  passing 
  through 
  this 
  division, 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  

   necessity 
  of 
  knowing 
  that 
  it 
  reaches 
  the 
  consumer 
  in 
  its 
  original 
  

   and 
  unadulterated 
  condition, 
  has 
  led 
  this 
  Department 
  to 
  turn 
  the 
  

   greater 
  part 
  of 
  its 
  attention 
  to 
  its 
  inspection, 
  with 
  most 
  satisfac- 
  

   tory 
  results, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  quality 
  of 
  the 
  first 
  delivery 
  of 
  the 
  pro- 
  

   duct 
  is 
  concerned. 
  

  

  But 
  a 
  small 
  per 
  centum 
  of 
  this 
  milk 
  is 
  being 
  shipped 
  direct 
  

   from 
  the 
  producer 
  to 
  the 
  city 
  retailer, 
  it 
  being 
  mostly 
  delivered 
  

   to 
  the 
  local 
  creamerv 
  or 
  condenserv.
