INSPECTION AND SUPERVISION OF FOOD,
(a) Milk Supply.
The quarterly reports of the Veterinary Inspector
give a yearly average of 44 cows in milk. Some
supply comes from farms in the immediate neighbourhood,
but it is small compared to that which comes
by rail.
The seven cowkeepers have kept their cowsheds
reasonably clean, and exercised care to prevent fouiing
of the milk, either from the cows' quarters or the
milkers' hands.
(i.) Three cows were found to be tuberculous by the
Veterinary Inspector, and confirmed by postmortem
examination.
(ii.) Three licences were granted for the sale of
certified milk.
