15) No milk from newly calved cows should be sent to the 

 Dep6t for the space of four clear days from the date of calving, 

 and no milk from any cow that is not in good health, or that is 

 under physic, should at any time be sent. 



1 6) When the milk is being delivered once a day only, the 

 morning's and evening's milk must be sent in separate dishes. On 

 no account must warm milk be mixed with cold. 



17) In the event of any outbreak of contagious or infectious 

 disease in the household of a supplier, or of any person employed 

 by the supplier in attending the cows, notice must be at once 

 sent to the Secretary or Manager of the Depot or Creamery, and 

 the supply of milk discontinued until all danger of spreading disease 

 through the milk is certified by the Medical Officer of Health for 

 the district to have passed. 



One vitally essential factor in ensuring success is the provision 

 by the members of an adequate supply of good well handled milk 

 all the year round, in such proportions as the demands of the busi- 

 ness necessitate. In order to keep up the proportionate supply 

 required, members should arrange to have cows calving at different 

 periods throughout the year. 



Provision should be made by suppliers, as far as may be pos- 

 sible for a continuous supply of those field crops, suitable for milk 

 production, to augment the daily ration when pastures fail in autumn, 

 and for winter keep. Great loss is incurred if the milk supply is 

 allowed to go down in consequence of failing pastures. 



It is in the interest of, and should be the duty of, milk suppliers 

 to a Co-operative Creamery not only to send in their own milk in 

 the best possible condition, but also to see that their fellow members 

 do likewise.

Express, London, March, 1910. 



A conference promoted by the Chamber of Agriculture was 

 held under the auspices of the Board of Agriculture for regulating 

 the carriage of milk by rail to the towns, so that it may exercise 

 its beneficent effect on the market without injury to the farmers.
