be tolerated I cannot say, but it needs no calculation to show that the amount is enough to pay a profit to all the vendors concerned, if only it were fairly divided.
After this statement of what is actually being done at the present time in reference to the sale of impure milk, it will surprise no one if I say that I think further legislation is imperatively needed, not only to enforce the adoption of a somewhat more rigid standard, but to increase the efficiency of the supervision at present exercised over the milk supply; a very much larger number of samples should be examined, so that purchasers may procure something like a genuine article instead of an adulterated one.
I am not at all prepared to say that this will not be attended with an increased price in milk; but that I look upon as a matter of trifling moment only, if the steps that are taken are such as to ensure an uniform and genuine article.
