sistance and the dairymen should never omit an opportu- 

 nity to give them literature dealing with the matter- 



The basic principles of agriculture and dairy-hy- 

 gienics should be taught in all country schools. 



A system of payment for the milk should be ac- 

 cepted and made compulsory, whereby the price of the 

 milk would be fixed in accordance with its contents in 

 butterfat and other solids, and the hygienic properties 

 thereof. A general progress in the cleanliness of the 

 industrial milk may only be expected if the extra labor 

 connected with the production of clean milk is rewarded 

 by the receipt of a higher price for clean milk than for 

 unclean. 



The waste and losses resulting from the unsanitary 

 production of large quantities of industrial milk are all 

 the more regretable where the international food situa- 

 tion presses for the greatest economy in the production, 

 as well in quality as in quantity. 



The production of clean industrial milk is a public 

 interest. Where private enterprise has not been able to 

 bring about a satisfactory progress in the methods of 

 production, it seems logical and reasonable that measures 

 should be taken by the legislature that will encourage 

 the producers to greater efficiency. 



Although, by scientific methods of manufacture we 

 are able to correct many defects in milk, it must be well 

 understood by producers that a clean milk is the basis 

 for high class products. Where we may confidently look 

 forward to science for further improvements in methods 

 this may not divert our attention from the great possi- 

 bilities of progress on the farm. 



The End.
