ference should not be ; as much care should be exercised in the 

 production of milk from one dairy as the other. There seems to 

 be a disposition on the part of the Dairymen's Association to 

 accept milk no matter what its condition and from those who 

 have not even a permit to sell milk. This is no doubt due to the 

 confidence they have in their purifying apparatus and its demon- 

 strated ability to considerably lower the bacterial content of milk 

 subjected to its influence, but there is a higher principle involved. 

 The position occupied by the Dairymen's Association in the sys- 

 tem of milk supply of the city is such as enables it to exert a 

 powerful influence toward the betterment of the product as it 

 reaches them, atid it should use this influence to encourage its 

 many contributors to oroduce a clean produce in a sanitary way. 

 Samples Nos. 23, 24, 25 show counts far above what they should 

 be and from one dairy in particular which has shown no improve- 

 ment over last month. Advice and instructions have been given 

 and the Municipal Milk Inspector is keeping close and careful 

 watch of this dairy along with several others and material im- 

 provement may soon be expected.
