Cowhouses.—The cowhouses are 7 in number, which is the same as
in the preceding two years. In 1892 they numbered 31, but year by
year they have grown fewer, until in 1907 they were only 7, at which
figure they have remained since. It, however, appears that there are but
5 in use at present, for no cows were kept in two of them during the
year. Just prior, however, to the annual visit of the Medical Officer of Health,
the licensee of one of them, who had allowed his cowhouse to be used as a
storeroom for lumber, was cautioned that his licence would be opposed unless
he conformed with the Dairies, Cowsheds and Milkshops Regulations, and consequently
the premises were put in order. Nevertheless, they are still unused.
The number of cows kept in the 7 sheds, which are licensed for 172
animals, averaged only 41, which is nine less than in the preceding year.
The cowsheds were regularly inspected by the Inspector, who made 68
visits to them. They were also thoroughly examined prior to the Licensing
Sessions by the Medical Officer of Health, who found them in a satisfactory
state and far better than the majority of the cowhouses he has from time
to time seen in rural districts. The cows were well groomed, and, therefore,
clean, while the sheds themselves were free from manure and in a cleanly state.
