COLORADO EXPERIMENT STATION 
'29 
The best way of solving the substitution problem when substitu¬ 
tion is made necessary by sickness or important business at a distance, 
is to have some member of the family or helper hold a license so that 
they may readily fill the vacancy made by such unexpected absence, 
i No fee is charged for the granting of a license. 
Inspections .—Provision is made by law for the inspection of all 
places where dairy products are handled or produced. In making in¬ 
spections of cream stations, a written report of conditions found, 
with recommendations, will be given the operator, a second copy of the 
inspection report will be sent the creamery or company represented, 
and a third will be kept on file in the commissioner’s office. 
As soon as possible a plan of scoring stations will be followed, sim¬ 
ilar to that now in use in many other states.* Following are the 
points considered in scoring: 
I. External Appearance. Points allowed, 10. 
The outside portion of the station should be neat and clean 
in appearance and provided with some sort of porch and platform. 
If a frame building, it should be painted. 
•Kansas Bulletin No. 3. 
II. Neatness of Surroundings. Points allowed, 10. 
The surroundings of a cream station should be sanitary in every 
sense of the word, as cream readily absorbs any undesirable odors, and 
decayed substances harbor flies. Stations should not be located within 
fifty feet of chicken yards, hog pens or other objectionable buidings or 
open into rooms in which oils, poultry, eggs or other strongly flavored 
products are handled. 
III. General Equipment. Points allowed, 10. 
All necessary equipment for making lawful tests shall be pro¬ 
vided for each station, and operator’s license must occupy a conspicuous 
place on the wall. 
IV. Freedom from Flies. Points allowed, 10. 
Stations must be provided with protection against flies. 
V. Neatness of Interior. Points allowed 10. 
A well arranged, neat station facilitates the operator’s work. 
Suitable places must be provided for bottles, scales, etc., and articles 
kept therein. 
VI. Walls and Ceilings. Points allowed, 10. 
Walls and ceilings should be finished with a hard surface 
cement when possible. Tight fitting boards painted in some light color 
are next in desirability. The surface must be kept clean and free 
from dirt. 
VII. Cleanliness of Floors. Points allowed, 10. 
The desirable station floor should be of cement, which can easily 
be kept clean. Tight-fitting, well painted boards are satisfactory, 
and must be kept free from dirt at all times.
