provided  also  that  carcasses  of  cattle 
killed  for  tuberculosis  may  be  sold  if 
passed  according  to  the  regulations  of 
the  U.  S.  Department  of  meat  inspection, 
the  proceeds  to  go  to  the  State  depart¬ 
ment  of  agriculture.  A  bill  before  a 
legislative  committee  provides  that  no  an¬

less  tested  with  tuberculin ;  either  the  eye 
test  or  the  skin  test  Would  be  allowed  as 
well  as  the  present  method  and  carcasses 
of  these  animals  could  be  sold  if  passed. 
No  payment  is  made  for  cattle  con¬ 
demned  outside  the  State,  hence  it  would 
be  for  the  interest  of  shippers  to  have 
their  cattle  properly  tested  before  at¬ 
tempting  to  bring  them  into  the  State. 
Rhode  Island  New  Scheme  for  Marketing 
Milk 
The  plan  to  place  under  State  and  city 
control  the  whole  milk  supply  of  Rhode 
Island  was  at  least  the  cause  <>f  lively 
discussion,  but  nobody  seems  to  take  the 
proposition  very  seriously  or  to  look  for 
definite  action  at  present.  The  Rhode 
Island  legislature  is  well  known  as  a 
conservative  body;  it  is  made  up  chiefly 
of  representatives  and  senators  from  the 
smaller  towns.  Much  town  and  city  in 
the  Sttite  sends  its  members  to  the  Legis¬ 
lature  and  there  are  only  five  cities  in 
the  State.  Accordingly  the  country  and 
town  population  is  in  control.  The  Leg¬ 
islators  include  many  farmers  of  a  con¬ 
servative  type,  very  hard  to  enlist  in 
favor  of  any  radical  measure  until  it 
has  been  thrashed  over  very  thoroughly. 
1  watch  the  milk  test  as  reported  each 
month  by  the  city  Board  of  Health,”  said 
a  member  of  the  Rhode  Island  House¬ 
wives  League.  "If  I  find  the  per  cent, 
of  solids  and  hutterfat  is  good  and  the 
bacterial  count  not  too  high,  1  am  satis¬ 
fied.  If  all  consumers  kept  close  watch 
of  the  milk  inspection  reports  and  re¬ 
fused  to  take  milk  of  dealers  making  a 
poor  showing,  there  would  he  no  need  of 
city  control  of  the  business.” 
The  facts  obtained  at.  the  city  health 
department  hardly  indicate  tbal  the  milk 
supply  ig  especially  bud  as  compared  with 
other  cities.  There  are  close  to  two  hun¬ 
dred  dealers  including  those  who  pro¬ 
duce  their  own  supply.  The  city  uses 
over  7 5, (MM)  quarts  daily,  of  which  about 
45,000  quarts  are  produced  in  Rhode 
Island,  about  21,000  in  Connecticut  and 
the  rest  iu  Massachusetts,  Vermont.,  New 
York  and  .Maine.  The  weak  points  in  the 
present  situation  are  that  the  city  does 
not  appropriate  any  considerable  sum 
for  inspection  of  distant,  farms  producing 
the  milk,  and  there  is  no  legal  provision 
for  limiting  the  number  of  bacteria  in 
milk  accepted.  Reports  of  samples  taken 
from  dealers  show  some  very  high  counts; 
a  few  exceeding  50,000,000  per  cubic  cen¬ 
timeter,  while  on  the  other  hand  there 
are  a  good  many  down  to  1.0,000  or  low¬ 
er.  Of  the  total  samples  taken  from  deal¬ 
ers  and  producers,  about  20  per  cent, 
showed  about  500,000  count. 
Producers,  so  far  as  ascertained,  while
