OWEVER, the farms owned by the Company, 

 even with their large herds, are insufficient 

 to supply all the milk necessary for furnish- 

 ing cream and butter for the Hotels. Much 

 is bought from the neighboring farmers. This milk is ac- 

 cepted only from such farmers as comply in every respect 

 with the rules of the Boston Board of Health. Their herds 

 are inspected, and no milk is taken of them if there is any 

 illness in the family of the owner. The farmers who sup- 

 ply milk and cream to the Dairy are required to use the 

 special pails and to milk through sterilized gauze and 

 cotton. In order to be sure that this rule is complied with, 

 they must return each day, when they deliver their milk, 

 the gauze and cotton used for milking. This is immedi- 

 ately destroyed.
