DAIEY FARMING DAIRYING. 583 



the same luiruber of square iuclies since it is easier to ruilli into it. . . . The 

 cover should be sufficiently convex so that the entire inside of the pail can be 

 seen and easily reached for cleaning. It should be made flush with the very 

 top of the pail so as to avoid a groove which will conduct material from the 

 top of the pail around to the opening and into the milk. 



"A suitable cover soldered to an ordinary milk pail by a local tinsmith will give 

 satisfaction if the work is well done and all of the seams are carefully filled 

 with solder. Such a cover can be placed upon an ordinary milk pail by any 

 tinsmith at very little expense."

 S26, popular cd., pp. 6). — A popular edition of the above. 



Milk leg-islation (Jour. Amer. Med. Assoc, 56 (1911), No. 5, pp. 350-352). — 

 A discussion of state v. city control of legislation in regard to the inspection of 

 dairies, the tuberculin test, and pasteurization. 



" The value of the tuberculin test is accepted by men who are competent to 

 exi)ress an opinion. Pasteurization of milk is also of undoubted value in the 

 absence of the compulsory tuberculin test. The cattle-owner does not realize that 

 not only is the presence of tuberculosis in his herd a menace to public health, but 

 his herd can not be as profitable as a healthy herd, and that, moreover, one 

 tuberculous cow will spread disease rapidly to healthy cows. The production 

 of clean milk is wholly a scientific and not a political or commercial question, 

 and the mere idea that the lives of innocent babies should depend on political 

 or commercial considerations is a monstrous one."
