Crossing the Carrolltn Avenue draining canal
near Common street, the repor'er found him- a
self confronted by a very large stable and six
diminutive dogs. After going through the f
sword exercise with his cane, the dogs van- I
ished and the proprletor, ti
J. NAUDET,
satpeared. He wore a melancholy appearance. c
His face had about it a sad expression that be.
tokened inward grief and gnawing sorrow.
When the interior of the statble was reached
there were twenty-six cows in the stalls. a
r. Naudet, when quetstioine I, spoke very
frankly about his animals. He said be had led
them for a long time past on tottion seed meal
and hulls, and hi vas satisfed iit had been the
cause of his losing many. Poluting to one that
appeared almost too weak to stand uip, its bonies
almost protruding through its skin, he said
that this feed hal been the cause of it,. After
feeding the cows on ctton seed for some time a
a swelling would come in the throat and after- 9
wards they would he seriously affeted in the c
liver. Then they began to lose flesh. tphir
breathing would be ster erous, and they would e
gradually go into a d/-line and die. Some t
time before death they would give no milk, but

waEB ALWAYS MILKED UNTIL THEY WENT DRY t
from the disease.
Several other cows were poinend out, suffer
ing from the saunt corn plaint, and one briathled
so heavily it could be heard sn-me i istini~an. He I
stated that these eows, wre, tihey were in the .
climax of the disease, could not be sold even to c
butchers for the markeot.
Pursuing the route the reporter came to the t
Mannessier dairy, owned by Mr.
N. BROUVsARD.
It was a pleasure, after some hours amongst I
manure heaps and filthy statble-. to enter the
scrupulously clean one kept by Mr. Broussard.
' he floor was swept and not Ait prticli of dirt
was to be seen the stalls were till in fIlneorder.
He has sixteen Creole cows and two, Western, annd
feeds them on bran, corn mnal, with cotton seed
hulls. After passing through the stable the re
porter was ushered into his dw lling, where the
floors were whi e is itrds. Ejryithitg showed

much better c nlditlon than thi-.e previously

great risks hire in aicilimatting Western stock,
which give more and better milk that our native
cows.
JEAN MAIHJORET'S
was taken in next. There were twenty-eight
cows stahled here, and their feed was on cotton
seed. The dairy formed a marked contrast with
that of Brousserd. A strong ammoniacal
stench perva, ed the place. and it was illy kept.
The cocs were thin and small, and did not in
crease one's appetite for their milk. Marjoret,
when asked ahoutit the harmful iffe -ti of f',ed
ing cotton seed, said that 1' was the best food
that could be given. When the sw"ltlin- in the
cows' throat, wats mentioned, he said that this
was nothing bit glanders. which cows had, no
matter on what they might reed.
When the aid of a vetert inry surgeon -iuld be
had the ball or swelling in the throat was cut,
and the cow would recover, but if it was left to
itself the symptoms before described by Naudet
would follow. Thi.i proprietor readily admitted
the watering of thelmilk now. Marjoret's place
seemed to be the campintg ground of all the
files in the parish, for at every sRep in the stable
they rose in clouds. Leavingthis dairy the ven
turesome reporter crossed thle narrow dividing
spaoe to another.
About the door, dressed in a shirt of as many
colors as Joseph's, stood some five or six rough
loOtIng te lows, who had for some time been
w tchig the report. r's travels. As he ap
proached th'ey all became silent. Singling ou
a gray-whiskered man, with t f ee that would
grace the deo of a b ,ceaneer, he inquired
aboutthe dairy. i hey interchanged sRiniflcant
glances. and remained for siome time silent.
Une, however, had some manners left, and in
an ambiguous way gave a little Infotrmation.
When the old man and proprietor was asked
his name the bowl was broken. Eveing the re
Dorter with a sinister Iook, he simtewhat ex
citedli asked iu return, "Why do you wish my
name? What fr?"
On being assutred in the reporter's blandest
manner that he merely 'esired the name of tth
proprietor because le dlid not kntw him and
desired that honor, the old fellow responded;
" I didn't ask your name when you came to
talk with me; what for should I give you mine.
No! No! I will not."
Here was a stump in the way of the searcher
after news, but lh resolved to find it. Hum
ming an air from Lucie, he pushed past the
crowd ad enter oed the talry, wh, rea milk iart

just then. and In reply t., Joan-Marie's rquest

said Jean-Marl. after the ques'ion, "''hy have

regular and reasonable customers an I the other
those who want plenty of ovilk for little money."
"Then the milk in the other can is watered?"

"Of course " was the reply.
Questin-lince you s'eem to know all about
the milk buain"ss, Jeon-Mlar e. it me ask you
what is the proportion of water that is general

the cows nice little milk it amounts to ab *ut a

the demal i is very great; at other times it is
about one .luhth.
Q.-Do they water the milk they furnish the
hotel r, staurant and coff',-hous," kee: erv?
A -No. sir. These people have le ,rned to use
the galaeto-I e'er, and wn't stand anything but
the pure arti. i..
Q.--The gaslctmeter, however, only indiRtesa
the spciflA'uravity ,'f the milk. Can't the milk
men manag." toadll foritgn ing'edit'n's to their
milk to make it weigh up to thea andard after
adding wa.t ?
A.-No; they have not neiiired that science
here. as yet In fact, they itcn't know how ti do
it, and the only adutera'ion, that my experience
teache- mi", is that done with water.
Q.-Don't the milkmen generally use swili
from the beweries and whisky distilleries?
A.-Th-y di not. Many do not think there is
a roflt i sad there are so few breweri' a
and atllerlta In this ity that there is little
swill, and that little is moaouplitisd bra f ew

How are our oowa in thIIP .e 1,
A.--Well, you may heat eoe our milkmen
boost of their chlt pin cow some tim es gv- g
ingextraordlinary quantities of milk, but eneor
ally, when you g* into a dairy and ask a dairy- n
man which Is his besr cow, and he will take you I
out into the yard and point to his ioto gallon I
lestern. i
Q.-How much do our cows yield?
A.-Our Creole cows. those born and raised r
here, can be depended upon for two gallons at
day. The Western cow, when they can be ac
climated, yield from three to four gallons. But I
there is great risk with the We torn cows, of
whirh one out of ten Is saved. and th'n with C
a great deal of care. They must not be allowed t
to go out in the hot summer sun, or they can't s
be saved,
SQ.-Is there any danger In the milk yielded I
by sick cows ?
A.-There cannot be. for as soon as a cow gets a
sick it ceases to yield milk, and that is about the
only way that the dairyman learns that she t
is I11.
Jean-Marie then went on to say that the dairy t
business was a precarious one nowadays. and
that a man who owned forty cows could reckon I
on no morett an about thirty gallons of milk at
day on 'he average, owing to the illness of the
cowaalvinsg-end other accidents.
Q--Why isn't the business as profitable now
as it used to be?
A.- Because formerly corn, which is the bent
feed for yi' Iding purposes, used to be cheap.
It used to sell for as cents, and now corn comes
to 80 cents, s1, and even more, It is true this 1
year corn is cheaper, but the usual high prices
nave caused the milkmen to cease sing boiled I
corn, and take to cotton seed cake, which is also
fine feed for the cows,
PAUL BROURBs
also runs a dairy on the Metairie Ridge. near
the Orleans Hhooting Park, and has about thirty
cows. Our visit to his establishment was dis
tinguished by a lamentable occurrence in his
family. A young white heifer had just been
brought in with a gored udder, and the entire C
household was in an uproar at the accident. t
As we entered we heard a gentle, yet com.
mending voice, calling out,"Put (something) in t
a cream cheese can and smoke it." We were
soon initiated into the mys cries of curing a
cow with a good udder, and given an oxpplnna
tlon of the myste lon1 "smoking" proc ss. The
cow was led tnt, her stall and her legs tied with
strong ropes, and she was held b. astalwart cow
boy. In a few seconds an elderly woman came
into the stat'le, armed with an old cream cheese
can filled with coa's, whi'h she placed under
the ble'tding udder, and then poured upon the
fire a quantity of sweet oil from a bottle which I
was handed to her. While the proc'ss of furni
gation was going on, Mine. Paul Brousse, the
handsome young wife of the proprietor (who was I
absent), looked on with humid eyes. It was one
of her best cows, she Fald, a ot born and raised
In the familv,that had just gone out to graze, and I
there she was in a pitiful s ate. Thefumigation
was Intended as a preventive against lock-jaw,
and was untIvr-ally practised daus ntre papa. i.
"But," said she. plaintively, "she will dir. We'
have lost already many in that way." The cul
mination of the scene was a violent struggale on
the part of the maimed hl-ifer to free herself t
from her shackkl's, and in a second more the
cream cheese can and the coals were flying in
note direction, the bottle in an',th-r, and the old
lady was retreating hastily from the vicinity of
the cow's hoof.
A few minutes afterwards we were conversing
Iwith Mmine. Br'usse about the milk bu-ines.'.
From what she said we concluded that this dairy
was being conducted on old principles, esrbew
Ing the use of swill. which phe said fattened
the cattle, but did not always improve the yield
of milk, but. on the contrary, made It watery.
H"r husband still continued to feed his cows
on blled corn, na was evidenced by one of the
old time cauldrons lying in the corner of the I
dairy lot.
The milk business was had now. As far as
their dairy was concerned there was no ners
sity of watering the milk. for they had more,
than they could sli;' and people didn't pay
now.dlays as they used to.
What do you do with your surplus milk ?
A.-We make cream cheese; but., my dear sir,
just Imagine, it takes twenty cents worth of
milk to make a cream cheese that we sell for
five cents.
Madame Brouose then related an incident
of the busines., afftcting a restaurant man on
St. Cha les street and a journalist. to
show how preoarious the busiamss was.
It appears that her husband had sup
plied the restaurant kenper with milk for some
time and when thebill had rea'rhed the sum of

accepting the note of the journalist, a boarder
at the restaurant, for the amount, the jour
nalist, it also appears, thus settling his own
account with the restaurant man. The note is
now being sued for in one of our courts.
PIERRE MARCRIE.,tt
Metairie Ridge. near the City Park, has been to
ngagedl in the milk business since i0.o and'
thinks that prices have fallen down and busi
ness slackened considerably. He thinks that
there is tdo much competition; milk now sells
from thirty-five to forty-five cents per gallon. w
Cows are fe i on a great variety of fod trr.
Their principal nourishi eut constlts of cotton
seed meal. corn, rice chaff. oats. mixed together a
fine and moistened with well water. The cows
roam at large during a gren'er part of the day.
and are driven in the stables to be fed. They
are milked whilst eating. Mr. Marore 'on- tl
siders corn, cotton seed meal and grass as the b
hest nourishment and the most efficient food
for mluch cows. Cows are no more fed on the
refuse from distilleries and breweries, the sup- h
ply having fallen off considerably.
BERNARD TUHEIL, h
milkman. residing on Bienvilte street. near
Metairle Ridge. said: Thef best food for milh
co,wd is corn and hay. I have been a milkman
for eighteen years, and feed my cows principal- v
ly on a mOixture of cotton seed meal, chaff, corn
meal, and sometimes stale biscuits. It is not
very easy to state what quantity of mil.- a cow
yi.lls each day: it depends on many circum
stances: on the ftod, tre tment and manage
ment of the animals. I think that a fair aver
age is a yield f, one to one and a half gallons.
"Business is dull and siace." said he to the
reporter. 'and I lose a great deal of money by
dealinfe fairly with my customers-I give them
pnure milk and good measure. I sill be ruined;
Rure." The reporter assured Mr. Tueill of hi$
deepset sympathy, and withdrew to lutervi6w
another victim of honesty, the best of policies
in theory serhats, p not very remunerative
in rantlf0, jtidg-eed from the milkman's
We next called uponr
7 PFRANID,
who owns a large dairy on the Metairie Ridge,
about one square above the City Park. When
our teporter reached the place Mr. Ferrand
was about to start in his cart on his daily
round. The following is the interview with'
the gentlemanly seller of milk:
Reporter--Mr. Ferrand, will you allow me a
few minutes of your time in order that I may
have some information from you with regard
to dairies, cows, etc. ?
Ferrand-Why ?
Rep.--Bcause it is a question which may in
tere-t the ,ublie.
Ferrand (assuming a suspicious look)-Who
are you, anyhow? Do you want to buy a
dairy ?
Rep. (modrstly)-No. sir.
Ferrand-Then, do you want to sell me some
oRep. who had come to interview and who was
interviewed in return)-No, sir; I do not mani
pulate in the c w fe'.d market.
Ferrand-Well, who are you ?
BIep.-I have told you-I am a reporter: I
go C,b at in search of new. and hope to flad
some;hing interesting in this part of town.
Ferrand--No, sir; I can give no informati n:
i I have no use for a newspaper; I have nothing
to do with a newspaper. Good day, sir; whoa,
tget up. Jim-anud he was off.
The tnterview was thus brought to a sudden
r close by t he gentleman, who declined to make
a any statements, thinking perhaps, that the re- I
Sno ter had come to p,,ke his nose into his
,rivate affairs and expose suspected and mys
terious manipulations of the lacteal fluid.
S Ma. PIERRE CANTEROU,
owner of a very large stock of milch cows, being
r lintfrview-ed, tail:
I am in bh a business since 1842. Before the I
war I fed my cows principally on boiled corn
and p-as, but now I use cotton seed meal, corn
meal ard a little rice chaff. In spring the cows

is Kentucky and Arkansas cows, of which we
have a quantity here, are excellent milkers, but
a they are subje+ t to fevers and sunstrokes itur
ing the hit se.ason; it is very difficult to keep
e them in good condition. The Creoles are fair
it mllth cows, but not so good as the other kind.
The average y eld of milk is two gallons;
s sometimes, but very seldom, and under most
- favrable circumstances, a cow may give four
r gull uns of milk; but this is rare. The yield of
)r milk depends on the way in which the animals
are fed and cared fir.
i There is much more trouble in keeping a'
o dairy thai is leally though'. Cofws a-e subect

ii yields little or no milk. We do not feed a ws

a abandoned the practice, because I believe that
le this food is not good for the animals' health

this rarely oeours. The best season for milk is out
in the winter.
Being asked if the besiness was good now.
Mr. Canterou answered that. before the war, for
and for a period of four years afterward, he the
used to sel on an ave age, one hundred gal- the
lone of milk per day, but now his sales are very tax
limited in comparison to the business he did u
in former years.
The next milkman interviewed was one fa- i
miliarly known among theGas-ons as La Vienr ars
Cadet. who has been engaged in the dairy busi- thi
ness ever since isao. His dairy is some distance dol
in the rear of the Luzen urg Hospital. dth
On the renorter stating the object of his visit, Ii
Cadet looked a little suspicous; in fact he M
plainly said that "it was too thin." and that-the the
so celled reporter was a judicial officer trying II
to play a game on him for the purpose of rais- N
ing his taxes. Being assured that the visit wa sht
sim!rly toelicit some Interesting facts with re- sht
gard to dairies and the management of cows wh
etc., Cadet softened a little, but stoutly dPclined it
to givehis real name. He said that he was too yor
old to work any more, and had sold out his j wal
dairy last week, and was to retire from busi- M
ness. However, he was willing to give the pub- Wa
lie the benefit of his experience in the milk Intl
business. His statements with regard to the the
mannagement of cows. their food, the quality of n
tb A e-i-lia cln, e- with what th others; F"-- t
About the adulteration or milk. he thinks that bor
all the stories ou'rent that chalk, potato meal N
and other stuff-are mixed with the milk- an
are utterly groundless, but he knows that 1
many milkmen of the Third District but water till,
in their mil. said water being taken from wells M
and stagnant pools. The milk thus mixed is rut
injurious. He knows of some who mix their It
milk with condensed milk, and he can state as I
positively that a grocer named Dubosc, living M
on Broad street, sells large quantitles of boxes all
of condensed milk to thedairymen In the neigh- dos
borhood. I do not deny said Cadet that I put in'
water In my milk sometimes, but, I have some o' I
pure milk kept for certain customers whom I fro
cannot rdeceive,. because they have "lactome- II
ters." The others are not rartimstar about the to
quality when the quantity Is sufilTient, and If ins
this suits them it suits me aso. wil
Mr. Cadet then began to talk about taxs, hard it
times and kindred topics, to which the reporter ant
listened for s,'me time, but the conversatiotn pui
1hreate'ling to be too lengthy he left Cadet and dil
started on another interview. aft
MRe. PADDY CLARK. dli
The DEMOCRAT reporter then boarded the Car- bal

reporter next visited the st
ORLEANRs DAIRY,
owned by Mrs. Thompson. on the corner of Dry- ai
ades and General Ta> lor streets, andl adjoining a e
neat cottage hous'' almost heu,med in on one fr
side by a well cultivated flower garden, tast"- et
fully arranged in b' di and showing many rare li
plants.
Pushingupward the chain whi h held together '1
the swinging gates that led into the dairy our ci
repr esentative ushored himself into a clean and it
tidy barn some thirty feet high well ventilate t w
and with stall room for about firly cows. each
stall being amply large to p-rmit the cows to di
turn around. tr
In the stall" stood tied about twenty-five large t
and fine looking cows, each apparently having of
been groomed, and thi appearance generally of 0:
the interior of the elevated ba n indicating d
'leanlinessas well as system. Making known
the object of our visit to one of the attache,. o'
Mrs. Thompson was called, and in answer to
the vat iou-' questions pr',pounded. stated in a]
substance that she kept in all about twenty-five I
cows, all of which were Western raleal or from Ib
KeHntucky. They were kept In the stal s during
the day and fed on a mixture of hay. bran, ann ti
the best qu tilty of corn meal. At night, during
Iine weather, they were turned into an adjoin
ing lot, in which there was no grass, as the tl
grass which grows on the tommon injured the b
unnealimated cows or those not reared here,
but for what reason was unexplained unless it f
be that it did not possess that nutrition which C
the Western and Kentucky ca'tle found in t.h
stubble fields or in the clover fields of the North t
and West.
The bran, hay and meal was shown our re
porter, each havingthe appearsnee of being the
,est quality, and to feed on this. Mrs. Thomp
son sail, it cost her from $200 to $225 per month. 1
A gentleman present, and Interested in the
dairy, when asked as to the effect if "beer t
mash." or cotton seed hulls mixed. for feed, re- t
marked that the milk obtained from that kind I
of feed would not only be impure but was un- I
Ihealthy.
Resuming our inquiries as to the expanses
incurred in the mdinrenance of the dairy, ir
was learned that two horses and carts were
Srequired to deliver the milk, which, with the
drivers, horse teed, board of drivers. r pairs t
to e rts. horse-shoeing, etc.. averaged $75 per
month, making the total expense, not inelut- 1
ing taxes or licenses, $275,. The cows will aver
age in y cl I from th ee to five gallons of milk I
daily, which is sold to the principal hotels, r- a
taurants. mnd to consumers at 40 cents per gal- I
lon. Taking an average yield of four gallons
per day the revenue for the month would
be 51200. from which must be deducted the
maintenance of the cows when dry, averaging.
as some do, three or four months in the year.
One or two cows shown had yielded mirk daily
for three years, but these were theexception
and not the rule, while the Creole or native
cows would not yield one.h If the amount, and
were large consumers of feed. The Western
and Kentcky cows., such a-i were in the stalls.
cost from sof to $95 each, and after becorring
dry were fattened on the same kind of feed.
and were sold to the butchers at 10 cents par
pound gr ,ts.the cows averaging then in weight
from 600 to 7(i) pounds.
The daitry business, like all others, was better
during the winter mnths. as during the sum
Smer a lDirge proportion of the custmers left
the city; buit there was so muh cmpettlion
and so much impu e milk sold that it was
'ldromrn that better prices c;;uild bhe obtained for
the milk,
The next dairy visited was the
LONE STAR,
F. R. Hottinger, proprietor, corner of Carondelet
street and Napoleon Avenue. the proprietor M
readily consnting to glve all information his ti
long experience in the business would permit. el
He had at the time but ninr cows, l'rele, 0
which cost eah from $40 to $oo, with calf. and
which were fed on hay, bran and meal, with a
very little cotton se, d or cotton seed meal f
mixed. The cows were stabled at night, the
stalls being kept clean, and the stable, as it
showed for itself,being well ventilated and kept a
in perfect order.
"iMy feed blll." said Mr. Hottinger. "are t$9 a n
month, then a State license 515. cart itcense $to
city tax StI-to say nothing of the stock and
real etate--all of which is taxed a sin. Aid i
to this the expense for the serviles of two men,
their b ard, repairs to cartsand harness, b ack- C
smithing. and with a yield of twelve or fifteen C
gallons a day, at forty or forty-five cets a
gallon. my revenue, after the taxes. etc.. are
paid, will show a balance for me on the wrong
side of the ledger."
'Do you teed any beer mash?" asked our re
porter.
'No Indeed." was the reply. "I have custom
ers who have children, and I have too much 0
regard for the health of the little ones to use
any of that stuff."
•'Doesn't It fatten the cows and producer bet
ter yield than gras ?" inquired the reporter.
"Yes, sir." was the reply. "and it costs
scarcely anything; but you never saw po d,
pure milk from a cow fed on that. That's the
reason some of hose Gascon dairy men can un
dersell those who feed meal, bran and hay. 1
They buy no such feed, but get their 'beer slopo'
at from S2 to sa per 1000 pounds, and use tha'.
besides drooping in a few gallons of wa er in
their cans. Some use condensed milk to dilute I
their product with, getting that at ten cents a
p: ound, and you can always tell that milk, be
cause it will not be pure white. Tnere 1s
another class, too. who injure our business,
and they are those who pay no taxes or Ilienses
whatevor on four or five cows th 'y keep housed
upn in their back yards, perhaps, and who
t peddle milk from door to door in hand cans,
selling twice or three times as much as their
cows will yield, wnich i,. if course. eithhr made
trom wates r ornm cond na9ed ml!kn and srmte
a of them are not even particular as to the use of
I clean water."
The next dairy visited was almost opnoslte
the Lon.- Sar. the last meti,n-d. and was
a owned and managed by ~I?. F. Hottinser, the
- father of the proprietor of the Lon, Star. In
thi. institutin were fount nine Creole coas,
i which were fed upon bran. hay a'di meal, anti
they were turned out to graze upon the ctm
tmons during the day. t he expo use of feed,
e did not vary much from that quoted by the pro
Srrietor of the Lone Star, and the com plaint that
s the hand-can men, with their smuggledl r con
cealed dairies, injure the trade of those who
o paid license and taxes was repe'a'e. the pro
oitretor remarking that he had been in the
business fully 'w nty five sears, and had seen
s? no time when there was so much impure milk
sold.
y Mr. M. Francis, tke roprietor of the B-rlin
street dairy, was called upon at hIsestablish
I ment, where it was found that he kept thirty
eos, Creole, and realized from twenty to twena
tr- vev allm per dy. emvlblg two arts
nd tires horses. The cows were fed tnan
bran, masl, bay, cotton sme.,.jnd during the dy
were given the benefit of the rm upon tihe
ocmmons. Some of the nows he ad milked for
five years. and others he had known to last still th
longer. He would under no oonsderation use D
the malt or beer mash, believing it to be almost ,
as bal as still sl p for the animals.
Like others. Mr. Francis complained of the
injury to the business by the hand can men, who
paid no license, he thinking that all should be
taxed alike.
A visit to an establishment on COrondelet
Avenue found three or four savage looking
dogs at the entrance to th", shed yard, for such
It was, and not finding the proprietor, our re
porter found an employee in the person of a
young man "raised in adairy," as he expressed
it, but even con idering that he was so su1 l
elous that be coult not disclose the name of his
employ' r. He said however, that he had ten or
fifteen cows; that he turned them out during
the day, end fed them mornina and evening on
beer mash, which came from an up town brew
ery. and that when he was a little short of milk
he wou d rour water into the cans. He knew
"lots of them." as he gave it, that did the same
thing, else they coud not make IIt pay.
He was posted, too, as to the location of all
the Gascon dairies which used the slop fed
from the breweries, and had beard some of the
owners often regret that there were no distil
Ieo be An o erxathio 'n- th whislky swill was bet
ter. In their estimation, fr the cows and thirl
pockets.
When asked if he would o and nint out this
class ,of dairies he said, "'Not much : they would F
bounce me if I did." anft no persuasion could
inriue him to aceomptany the reporter; neither
would he go within four or five blocks of them
to point them out.
THE BEER MASH MATTER.
Witlh a desire to develop all possible inform
ation in the way of bear mash seed, our report
er visited several breweries, first calling at the
Louislana Brewery, corner of Magazine and
Delord streets.
From the clerk It was learned that two or
three mashes were made weekly, averaging
from Ioo1 to 1500 pounds each. and th t Ptvady
Clark send another dairyman took it all, paying
therefor st per mash and that they distributed
or sold it to other dairymen to fe-d to the cow-'.
The Eagle Brewery. 54o T houpitoulas street,
was next hislted, and here it was learned that
two or three "brews" wr.e made weekly, the
"mash" being contracted for at $3 for ewach
brew by two dlairrman. named Rash and Ray
nor, who, when they did no: haul it themselves,
sent orders by other d ,irymen for it.
The Lafayette Brewery, No. 1010 TIhonpiton
las street. was next visited, and here our re
porter found one of the dairy mash carts
bckted ut, t, the mash tub. from which a stal
wart German was shoveling the mash Into the B
cart. ' he "brews" sold for s3 each, and were
contracted for. as on- of the employees a ated,
by "Little Fri z." who took one half. and by f
two other dairymen. who took the balance, the
three giving orders to such other dairymen as
they sold to.
THE TESTS.
Various ruses had to be resorted to ip order s,
to, btaln samples from the milk carts as they t.
were being driven about the city. In one in
stance, a serant in a privesa house up town g
was staticned on the banquet a or at the front
door early in the morning with a tin bunket
and a few nickels, with instructions to stop
each milk cart as iL c me along an i ,urchase
from each a pint and take the. number of his I
cart, the object being to test each pint with the
lietome. er.
The, flat cart hailed was No. -, driven by
'Pet,." from Bonneville's dairy- the pint our
chased, when rested,.showinga dil.tion amount
Ie to three-sixteenths or nearly one-fourth
water.
The next cart hailed was from the Bloom
dairy. The di ver stopped. but was loth to
sRll, remarking, when raked as to the name of t
the dairy, that 'there was some job in this put a
on the dair- men." He sold the nickel's worth r
of milk. howev r. anl when tested it showeol ar
dilution of s5 per cent of water.
The n, xtwas Bonetti's dairy cart, the sample
obtained showing pure milk.
Thompson's was the next hailed, the test
showing unadulterated milk, as dii also the
.sample from the dairy owned by the Lone Star
Dailry.
A visit was paid by the reporter to some of
the ('Ramp street milk saloons, who placard I
" Pure Milk " so conspicuously.
The first was the Nicholls Lunch Hmuse, near I
, the 'icayulne office. The reporter br ught a t
i bottle out, of his back pocket with some diffl
culty not having earrl d one before ant asked
t for five cents' worth of milk. Tihe waiter
i poured It in o the bottle, and it was tested by
the gal etometer. It showed 33 degrees above
t the standard of pure milk, indicating the pres
onne of considerab o cream.
The Champion Lunch House at the corner of
e Gravier street. was then "ailed upon, and the
like quantity obtaind. The test showed it to
1. be 1 degree above the pure milk standard.
e A negro vendor was stopped on Gasquet
r street, near Robertson. antd a sample of.his
- milk obtained. He said that he came from the
d Metairie Bilge. The litt!e instrument showed
the milk to contain a3', per cent of water. At
Claiborne Market milk cart, No. 330, owned by
Jno taurel. of Carrollton. was tapped, and five
c--nts' worth purchased, and 3-10 of it was
4 water.
water.
In many cases the milkmcn sUspectineg
something, refused to se'l a sample, and it was
with some difficulty that even the above could
be ,bhtain. d.
Enough has boon gathered from the hurried
investigations of the repr'er to show that the
milk sold to the c ýmmunity is not o' the ouall
ty the bygiAntl necessi.es of the Dp'pulation
reuire. It has baen discovered that the cow-.
or the major portion of them. drink from the
sewerage of the city; that ma y are milked
whilst in a diseased condition, and that the
milk is ad ltoe ated with water, of what kind it
i. imtossible to say. This is a matter of vital
impo tance, and the city authorities or the
Board r Heat h m'ght aid in reme 'ying the
evil. Already in several of the Statea there are
milk cnt mi-sioners aptointed 0o inspect the
milk offered for sale with all the instrumerts
of science. Hee, at lea-t, there shuld be some
action taken to s cure the consumer against a
fraud it is impo able for him to discover.
