The are 518 cows in Enfield owned by 22 cowkeepers. The
dairies are kept in a clean and sanitary condition and the cows
are inspected bi-annually by Mr. H. H. Hide, M.R.C.V.S., the
Vetinary 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.

Dear Sir,
I beg to report that I have completed the inspection of the
milch cows in the district as shown in the accompanying list.
I made a careful examination of the udders and found them, on
the whole, satisfactorily free from disease. There were a few cases
of induration, two of which proved on bacteriological examination
to be affected with Tuberculosis. These were dealt with by the
Medical Officer.
The herds throughout the district generally appealed healthy,
and iu satisfactoiy condition.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours obediently,
