ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. i^j 



Mr. Monrad: Mr. Newman is right. He says there is more cream 

 shipped, and that would' take the place of a large number of cans that 

 were shipped previously. 



Mr. Sawyer: I would like to ask the doctor if he has found, while 

 in that office, any increase in the percentage of butter fat. Are we, who 

 are living on Chicago milk, securing skim milk. Did you notice any in- 

 crease in the better quality of milk in the short time you have been test- 

 ing milk? 



A. I don't know as I have Mr. Sawyer. No sir. There is plenty of 

 good milk to be had in Chicago, if you want to pay for good milk. 



Q. It is not the price at all that recommends it, it is the amount 

 of cream. We have dairymen driving by the door every day and have 

 tested a number of them and found invariably that when the demand for 

 cream was greatest our milk was the thinnest. 



Mr. Monrad: That reminds me of the times before the Babcocktest. 

 A man told me that every time there were Sunday school meetings or en- 

 tertainments he could tell it by the milk — they had his cream that day,. 

 Mr. Newman: You get tests from the milk dealers' cans? 

 A. We have made tests from the shippers' cans, the milk dealers'" 

 wagons, and store keepers who handle milk throughout the city. 

 Q. How does it average? 



A. t don't believe I have ever averaged them. I could make a gen- 

 eral statement that the milk is best in the milk shippers, best next in. 

 the dealers' wagons, and worse in the stores. 



Mr. Sawyer: I went over to our milk dealer's depot one day and saw 

 three or four little jars setting up there and I asked what they were 

 there for. He said they were looking for the inspector that day. 

 Q. What is the standard for the city? 

 A. The city and state standard is three percent of fat. 

 Q. What is the standard for the state? 



A. The same as the city, 3 per cent. That law has been in existence^; 

 for some time, but no provision made for it until lately. 

 Q. That's statutory milk is it?
