be no milk problem to-day. Ixi the report oi the Milk Com- 

 mission of the Ontario Grovemment last year, special men- 

 tion wa^s made of the TuUy i'arma, near Syracuse, N.Y., 

 and I take the liberty of reading an extract in part from 

 this report. "It may as well be understood in the first place 

 that the Tully farms are owned by a wealthy manufactur- 

 ing company, the Solvay PixKi-ess. Only requiring a small 

 portion of this for their business ; the owners were induced 

 to go into the dairy business and they did so on broad 

 general plans. Hero cleanliness has been reduced to a 

 science, if not a fastidiousness." The report then outlmes 

 in detail the plan of operations similar to that r«fen-ed to 

 previously. A close watch of the herd and its environ- 

 ment kept by a skilled veterinary, and samples of milk from 

 every milking go to the laboratory' for tcst-s. A perusal of 

 this report- will show that the methods here observed made 

 a atix>ng Lmprcaaion on this Commission of Laymen. We 

 hope that the Government will in the future bring down a 

 most radic^ measure eeffctdng thla problem. 



INFANTS' MILK DEPOTS. 



Closely associated with work done by the Milk Com- 

 missions is the organization of infant milk depots, and in 

 fact in most placcvs, as in Hamilton, the intoroGt iu this 

 latter has stimulated the work of the forraei". 



The following figures show the great necessity for the 

 present world-wide interest in tliis problem.
