The methods of Improving the quel- Ity, of necessity. must start at the farm. The rules or the plan* are very simple. The cows and the milkers should be healthy. Most towns and cities have ordinances requiring that cows be tested and found fr« h from tuberculosis before their milk may be •old. It is just as essential that those who do the milking end who handle the milk shall be free from the same disease. There Is a growing tendency to sub­ stitute principles for rules. hl* up- plles especially to the produ< tion of clean milk.
