\\\v large Bosttui milk (M>iii|)aiiit's, sn that at the j)rcs('nt inspec- 

 tion (November, lUOU) but 2U places were visited, of which 1(> 

 Avere creameries, 11 milk depots, 1 city milk inspector and 1 

 chemical laboratoi-y. Ten of the creameries were co-operative 

 and (i pruj)rietarv. The 11 milk de^xits were in every case 

 proi)rietarv. Twenty-nine machines were inspected, of which 

 '2 were condemned, but on second inspection a few weeks later 

 they were found to have been put in good condition. Those in 

 use are 11 Facile, 8 Agos, 6 Electrical, 3 AVizard and 1 

 Twentieth Century. The glassware, as a whole, was clean, and 

 so far as noted was Massachusetts tested. It is believed, on 

 account of worn bearings and carelessness in keeping them clean 

 and well oiled, that an excess of steam is necessary in many 

 cases to give the required speed. Care should be taken to see 

 that steam machines do not overheat thfe tests, which should be 

 read between 120° and 140° F. 



The creameries and milk depots which pay by the test are 

 as follows : — 



Creameries.
