A SERIOUS INDICTMENT.
[to the editoe.] Sir, —While staying in the district a short time ngo I visited some- of the milking sheds, and from what I saw there should say a great improvement could be ui'.de in the quality of the , butler from this district by enforcing the simple rules of cleanliness. Some farmers have no scmpFs in using their yards for all sons of purposes, pigstyea, henhouses, slaughtering houses or milking sheds, it does not matter which. The stench from these as might well be imagined is bevond description. A number of so-called dairymen have yards up to the cows’ flanks in mud and filth, the udders are covered with mud as a consequence and no water is used to wash the teats of the animal or the hands of the milker. Now, sir, I think it is high time that all dairymen received notice to have their dairy yards put into a proper state of cleanliness, and that an inspector was sent round to visit the sheds at least once a month. A fine should be put upon dirty sheds. The sooner this is done the better for butler trade.—l am &c.. G. F- D. Lobtox.
