  Bob 
  Veal. 
  

  

  The 
  so-called 
  bob-veal 
  law 
  has 
  been 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  perplexing 
  law 
  to 
  

   enforce. 
  During 
  the 
  months 
  of 
  Febmaiy, 
  March, 
  April 
  and 
  the 
  

   early 
  part 
  of 
  May, 
  we 
  devoted 
  Considerable 
  time 
  in 
  preventing 
  the 
  

   shipping 
  of 
  immature 
  veal. 
  In 
  that 
  line, 
  we 
  were 
  fairly 
  success- 
  

   ful, 
  especially 
  when 
  the 
  carcass 
  only 
  was 
  shipped. 
  From 
  general 
  

   appearance 
  we 
  could 
  generally 
  discriminate 
  between 
  mature 
  and 
  

   immature 
  veal. 
  It 
  was 
  our 
  habit 
  to 
  seize 
  if 
  the 
  carcass 
  did 
  not 
  

   exceed 
  60 
  pounds 
  in 
  weight, 
  which 
  we 
  learned 
  was 
  very 
  generally 
  

   correct, 
  but 
  not 
  infallible. 
  But 
  the 
  great 
  trouble 
  was 
  not 
  in 
  de- 
  

   tecting 
  its 
  immaturity 
  in 
  the 
  carcass, 
  but 
  when 
  the 
  calf 
  was 
  

   shipped 
  standing, 
  because 
  the 
  shipper 
  was 
  always 
  willing 
  to 
  admit 
  

   that 
  he 
  was 
  shipping 
  them 
  into 
  another 
  State, 
  and 
  not 
  for 
  the 
  

   purpose 
  of 
  slaughter 
  for 
  food. 
  After 
  the 
  fine 
  was 
  imposed 
  for 
  

   such 
  violations, 
  shippers 
  became 
  exceedingly 
  cautious 
  in 
  their 
  

   fraudulent 
  traffic, 
  and 
  in 
  some 
  places 
  entirely 
  stopped. 
  

  

  Linseed 
  Oil 
  and 
  Pai£is 
  Gk?:en. 
  

  

  The 
  linseed 
  oil 
  and 
  Paris 
  green 
  laws 
  were 
  very 
  generally 
  ob- 
  

   served. 
  But 
  two 
  violations 
  of 
  the 
  linseed 
  oil 
  law 
  occurred 
  in 
  this 
  

   division 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  I 
  am 
  aware, 
  and 
  those 
  not 
  of 
  a 
  willful 
  nature. 
  

  

  Milk. 
  

  

  About 
  the 
  usual 
  number 
  of 
  milk 
  adulterations 
  have 
  taken 
  place 
  

   in 
  the 
  division, 
  and 
  in 
  most 
  eases 
  the 
  parties 
  have 
  paid 
  the 
  pen- 
  

   alty, 
  and 
  all 
  conceded 
  that 
  the 
  method 
  of 
  taking 
  samples, 
  especially 
  

   the 
  herd 
  sample, 
  i5 
  just 
  and 
  fair, 
  and 
  I 
  am 
  of 
  the 
  the 
  opinion 
  that 
  

   it 
  prevents 
  litigation 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  self-evident 
  truth 
  in 
  the 
  

   herd 
  sample 
  taken.
