Bostons regulations provide, in addition to recjuiring a licensefor the production and sale of milk within the city, that no milkwhich is not produced or handled in a manner satisfactory to theBoard of Health, shall be brought into, kept, delivered, distributed,sold or offered for sale in said city. The city has relied upon theState Board of Health for farm inspection, and confined its effortsto conditions within the city—the methods of handling the milk,and its bacteriological condition, for which 500,000 per c. c. is thestandard. Among the rules for the handling of milk are the re-quirements that cans and bottles be cleaned immediately upon 32. emptying, that only bottled milk l)e sold from stores, and that whenmilk is tested by tasting—a not uncommon practice—this shall bedone by means of some implement (other than the hands of thetaster) which shall not be used again until sterilized. The lastmatter, with the danger of contagion involved in careless tasting,is nevertheless one that is too frequently overlooked. Special at-tention is also given to enforcing thorough cooling. When a dairy farm is adversely reported upon by the StateBoard, the dealer getting the milk from that farm is held responsi-ble, and is notified to discontinue his purchases until conditions areimproved. In most cases this step suffices to bring about the de-sired improvements; occasionally it is found necessary to prohibitimportation from some farm permanently.
