Dated this 30th day of July, 1881. JOHN H. FIELD, Chairman. AUCKLAND MILK SUPPLY. TO TtfTT.K CONSUMERS. A good deal has appeared of late in the daily papers on this important subject, the tendency of which is to cause overy consumer of Milk to see that he gets a clean, pure, and unskimmed article, ffo consider much that has been said was called for. While it is correct that there is plenty of room for improvement among milk vendors, wo feel sure that it would be unjust to regard the milkman generally as an object of suspicion. We are convinced there are many who, whether they get paid or not for the milk they sell, supply it pure, unskimmed, cleanly, and delivered twice n day. For our part, we wish to state to our Customors and tho Public what we, as milk vendors, guarantee to do. Wβ pledge oursolves : — I. To servo milk pure, sweet, and with jail Its cream. 11. To bring it to town twice daily (Sundays excepted), and let the consumer have it fresh. 111. To sell no milk unless produced from welldrained farms and well fed and healthy cattle. We wish it to be understood that only part of tho milk we sell is produced by ourselves, the larger part is from Epsom and Mangero districts, tho milk from which has hitherto been mado into bntter. It is worthy of notice that the cattle on these firms have been selected more for butter-making than milk-sell-ing, and hence as a rule give richer milk and less in quantity. Each farm from which w bring milk will be periodically inspected as to drainage and water supply for cattle. Tho terms on which we contract to buy milk from other producers are that it shall bo fresh, pure, sweet, and wiiH all oREAM, and that all vessels used shall bo thoroughly cleansed. During the warmest months of the year (from September to June) the whole of our milk will bo ceoled over the Patent Milk Coolers, as used by tbe Aylesbury Dairy Co., and Express Dairy Co., ot London, the two largest and most trustworthy Firms in England. By this means the milk keeps sweet several hours longer during the trying weather. We submit the milk wo purchase or produce to Analysis at frequent intervals, and keep at the Uob-son-atreet Dairy for daily use, tho cream gauge and lactometer. Amongst our employe's we offer prizes for cleanliness and courtesy. Wβ have had ten years' experience in conducting a large English Dairy business, subject to tho "Inspection of Dairies Act," and although hundreds of samples have been taken by the appointed Inspector, have neve? been convicted of adulteration. We ask as a favour from the general Public, that if at any time they discover cause for dissatisfaction in the article supplied, or impoliteness or uncleanliness on the part of our employes, they will communicate to us promptly by Post-card or otherwise. : As regards the purity of our milk, we beg to state that any person who can convict us of selling watered milk or of abstracting cream, we will pay the cost of In conclusion, we take tho liberty of saying, wo do not publish this so much as an advertisement, as from the knowledge that as the colonial law stands the trade generally is liable to be regarded with suspicion. As. dealers put of a number, we therefore place on record oar principles and intentions, and ore prepared to stand or fall according as ire act up to them.'
