ELEV-EXTII BIENNIAL REPORT. 29 iiud second, failure to cool out the animal heat immediately after milking, and the improper temperature at which the milk has been kept. Thei-efore the committee suggested to the Board of Health that they request the Board of Aldermen to appoint a milk commission to control and regulate the milk supply. This milk commission should consist of five members—the Mayor, Superintendent of Health and three representative citizens. The Board of Aldermen should require each dairyman selling milk in the city to procure a milk license. This license should be revoked if the milk commission advised revocation, for good and sufficient reasons. This milk commission should employ a chemist and bacteriologist to examine samples of milk at least once a month, and to examine the animals for tuberculosis at least once a year. I consider the tuberculin test very important, for recently, in one Raleigh herd of 18 cattle, G, or 33% per cent., were found to have tuberculosis. All new cattle should he tested for tuherculosis before they are bought hy the dairymen and added to the dairy herds. It should be the duty of the dairy inspector to examine the cattle, drainage, ventilation, food, water, yards, pastin-es, methods of milking and handling the milk, and all the matters connected with the health management and care of the animals. He should see especially to the health of the animals, cleanliness of barns, i)roper disposal of manure. Also he should see that there is an abundance of pure water, that the milk is immediately cooled after milkinff and that there are proper facilities for cleaning and sterilizinr; all bottles and dairy ntensils. The Superintendent of Health should examine all persons working about the dairy or in any way connected with the care of the animals, milk, or utensils and the transportation and delivery of milk, in relation to their habits of cleanliness as well as for transmittible diseases. The bacteriologist should examine the milk to test the efficiency of the methods in force. He should take samples from the consumer, in original packages as delivered by the dairymen, and by bacterologi-cal and microscopical examinations determine the nature of the bacterial contents, and if pus cells are present. His examinations should be made every few weeks, and will be the truest indication of the thoroughness with which the milk commission's requirements are being followed. I think that the bacterial standard of purity should not be adopted until the commission has been working for several months, so as to ascertain the proper standard. The chemical examinations should be made sufficiently often to determine if the milk is of correct composition, of requisite richness and free from adulterations. In our examinations we found the milk of proper fat content and free from chemical adulterations.
