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

Holly House,
Lower Edmonton, N.9,
April 17 th, 1923.
Dear Sir,
1 beg to report that I have completed the inspection of the milch
cows throughout the district, as shown in the accompanying list.
The examination of the udders showed that only a small proportion
were affected with the ordinary complaints usually present
among milking cows, and the few cases requiring bacteriological
examination of the milk proved to be free from tuberculosis.
The herds in general were in a satisfactory condition, and
appeared well kept.
Yours obediently,
(Signed) H. H. HIDE.

Dear Sir,
I beg to report that I have completed the inspection of the milch
cows throughout the district, as shown in the accompanying list.
The results of the examination showed the udders, as a whole, to
be very free from disease of any kind, and the few cases I met with
were of the usual type found among milch cows. I made a
bacteriological examination where necessary, and found them free
from tuberculosis.
The animals in general appeared to be in a satisfactory condition
and properly kept.
Yours obediently,
(Signed) H. H. HIDE.
