Note. — This milk was manifestly watered, and the party was 

 summoned into court without further ado. The circumstances were 

 out of the ordinary. The milk was being furnished to a hospital 

 in Springfield, where the discovery Avas made that something was 

 wrong. Investigation showed that the milk had been adulterated 

 before it left the farm, by a boy wlio» having been scolded for allow- 

 ing the cows to .shrink in their milk flow, had watered the milk for 

 the sole purpose of making good with his parents. He evidently 

 little thought of the far-reaching consequences of his act. He knows 

 better now.
