DAIRIES AND COWSHEDS.
There are two cowkeepers and 80 purveyors of milk in the
district.
There were 17 changes of occupation and 2 new premises
were registered.
All these premises are regularly visited, and every endeavour
is made to induce the purveyors of milk to adopt precautions for
the prevention of contamination. In some instances it is very
difficult to keep the milk clean, especially in those shops where
paraffin, wood, &c., are also sold.
