160 A New Dairy Industry. 



inadequate to impart that degree of security which is 

 an indispensible condition to success for everyone 

 contemplating the manufacture of normal infants' 

 milk. 



There can exist but little doubt that the near future 

 will bring into greater prominence the agitation now 

 so ably sustained by a number of scientists, who, 

 working on this field of investigation, are the truest 

 benefactors to infant mankind. 



The enactment of stricter codes for milk inspection, 

 the rigid enforcement of those already existing, the 

 tuberculin test for all milk cattle, the pasteurization 

 or sterilization of all merchantable milk, and the 

 manufacture of artificial mothers' milk, will soon be 

 demands in universal requisition ; it will be for the 

 enterprising and intelligent dairyman to watch his 

 chances, to keep abreast of the times he is living in, 

 by considering whether existing circumstances do not 

 warrant his embarking in this manufacture. Here is 

 the chance, so seldom offered in our profession, for 

 a man to lift himself above the great horde of com- 

 petitors, by intelligence and progressive energy in pro- 

 ducing an article, the success of which will depend on 

 the theoretical and practical training of his mind and 

 business capacity, more than on his aptitude to hold 

 a plow, handle a pitchfork, or follow in the foot- 

 prints of his forefathers.
