Holly House,
Lower Edmonton,
April 12th, 1920.
Dear Sir,
I beg to report that I have inspected the whole of the milch
cows throughout the district, as shown in the accompanying list.
Careful examination of the udders showed a very satisfactory
absence of even the commoner forms of disease incidental to milking
cows, and I only met with three cases in which bacteriological
examination was necessary. These all proved to be free from
Tuberculosis.
The absence of disease may be attributed, in a large measure,
to the high price of cows which does not allow of neglect in treatment
of disease, nor the retention of such as fail to yield a sufficient
quantity of milk.
The number of animals is somewhat lower than on previous
inspections. They all appear healthy and in satisfactory condition.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours obediently,
(Sd.) H. H. Hide.

April 26th, 1920.
Dear Sir,
I beg to report that I have examined the cows belonging to
the cowkeepers mentioned in your additional list of the 20th inst.
Among the whole of them I found only one abnormal udder,
and that a case of ordinary induration resulting from an injury
caused by barbed wire. They were all free from Tuberculosis.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours obediently,
(Sd.) H.H. Hide.
