 these regulations. The following- may serve as an illustration 

 of such penalty : Any patron of the association convicted of 

 skimming, watering, or in any way adulterating milk or cream, 

 or of sending bloody milk or impure milk to the creamery, or 

 by taking more skim milk than he is entitled to, shall be liable 

 for the first offense to a fine of five dollars, for the second fif- 

 teen dollars, and for the third offense he shall forfeit all interest 

 he may have in the association, including stock and dividends 

 which may be due or which may become due. 



(g.) All stockholders must own, rent or control cows pro- 

 ducing milk or cream to furnish to the factory, and any stock- 

 holder failing to furnish milk or cream to the factory for two 

 months during any year shall not receive the dividend on his 

 stock. 



(h.) A patron's premises may be visited by the board of 

 directors or their authorized agent for the purpose of suggesting 

 improvements in the caring for the milk, cream or cows, and of 

 the proper drainage and general cleanliness of the premises. 

 Such agent is also authorized to secure samples of milk from the 

 cows at the farm when it is deemed necessary. 



(i.) The milk and cream of each patron shall be tested 

 as often as three times per month and more frequently if deemed 

 wise by the directors. 



The board of directors are authorized to suspend the oper- 

 ation of any of these by-laws as they deem expedient for the 

 best interests of the association. 



Selling Cows. Any stockholder, selling or disposing of his 

 cows shall thereafter cease to receive any dividends on his stock, 

 but he can sell or dispose of his stock only to person or persons 

 eligible to purchase the same, and then only to such as may 

 be acceptable to the board of directors. 



The board of directors may purchase the same from such 

 person or persons for the association on such terms as may be 

 agreed upon.
