226 IOWA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



there is more or less movement on foot now to enact some legisla- 

 tion regarding cows furnishing milk to the cities. People will be 

 interested because it will not cost them anything to secure such 

 legislation. Another thing is that there has been a regular epi- 

 demic in pure food matters, and when the people learn a little 

 more about the proposition they will find that it applies principally 

 to cheating in foods instead of to the ingredients. The stock men 

 who will be affected financially when any such legislation occurs 

 are very interested in that part of the legislation. There is a move- 

 ment on foot now to require that all meat sold locally in the city of 

 Des JMoines be inspected both before and after the killing. The 

 Sioux City and Davenport councils have already enacted ordi- 

 nances to that effect ; whether it will be carried out in the long run, 

 some such thing will be carried out, and it seems to me the dairy 

 people will get in the clear before that happens.
