treated for the consumption of infants. This idea 

 has been partially carried out in a number of places 

 where we hear of dairy farms furnishing " certified 

 milk," an article purporting to be better and cleaner 

 than other milk, and, as long as this certificate is one 

 of real merit and not merely an advertisement, this 

 milk is decidedly far superior to one of unknown 

 origin, and its production a token of a very laudable 

 spirit of enterprise — a step in the right direction — 

 even if we know, from the foregoing, that such milk 

 can lay no claim to being a healthy food for infants, 

 inasmuch as it lacks being brought closer in its con- 

 stituents to mothers' milk. 



For the above named reasons the establishment of 

 dairy farms for the production of prepared infants' 

 milk, in close proximity to all urban populations, will, 

 in the near future, receive greater attention, not only 

 from the farmers, but, also, from the medical frater- 

 nity and the local authorities, from which parts they 

 should receive all encouragement proportionate to 

 the efficiency of their services. 



The conditions to be exacted from such an estab- 

 lishment should bind the dairyman to the following 

 stipulations : 



1. To use no milk from any cow until eight days 

 have elapsed after parturition ; nor from any cow 

 six weeks before such event. 



2. To use no milk from any cow in heat, off her 

 feed, sick or any ways deranged, nor whilst being 

 treated with strongly acting internal medicines.
