 score card adopted by the Board of Health, City of New Brunswick, State 

 of New Jersey."

 equipment and methods of milk production. The results ob-

 The inauguration of a system of dairy inspection in which the 

 score card was used gave opportunity for recording the change 

 in dairy conditions from month to month. The results are 

 given in tabular form below.
