Periodical examinations of the conditions of the public elementary

FOOD.
Milk.
There are some 471 cows in Enfield owned by 21 cowkeepers,
and I am pleased to be able to make a favourable report this year
of the way which the dairy business is conducted. The majority
of the retail milk sellers are continuing their endeavours to maintain
a satisfactory condition in their business, while a few who do
not yet seem to realise the importance of strict attention to detail
and cleanliness are being brought into line with the others.
The cows are inspected bi-annually by Mr. H. H. Hide,
M.R.C.V.S., the Veterinary Surgeon to the Council, and I append
copies of his two reports for the year, which are very satisfactory,
and show that the Enfield dairy-farmer is fully alive to the danger
of keeping tuberculous cows on his premises.
