ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



ILLINOIS DAIRY LAWS. 



ALSO THE PURE FOOD BILL PROVIDING FOR A DAIRY AND FOOD 

 COMMISSIONER IN ILLINOIS; AND THE BOARD OF INSPECTION 

 BILL, BOTH OF WHICH WERE PASSED BY THE 1899 LEGISLA-

Two measures of the greatest importance to dairymen of the Stale 

 were passed by this year's legislature and were approved by Gov. John R. 

 Tanner. One of these provides for a State dairy and food commissioner.

The second measure in which dairymen and all other shippers of pro- 

 duce are greatly interested is the Beard of Inspection Bill. These two bills 

 are here given, together with the dairy laws of Illinois.
