![(2) Arxredited Milk. JJurinj^ the year we had 260 Licensed Accredited Herds, an increase of .36 since the end of 1936, and as previously stated 27,149 Clinical examinations of cows producing this Superior Grade of milk were carried out. The cowsheds and equipment of those who apply for a licence to produce Accredited Milk are e.xamined by the County Medical Officer and must be approved by him before a Licence is granted, and they are re-examined before the annual re-newal; this yearly inspection of the Sanitary arrangements, and the three-monthly examination of all the cows on the farm, bring milk production as near perfec- tion as possible. It is regretable that some Farmers wishing to join are unable to on account of the state of their buildings or other sanitary defects; T am doing all 1 can to encourage the reconstruction of insanitary cowhouses by inspection and advising the provision of adequate lighting and ventilation and a properly constructed floor. (3) Pasteurised Milk. Properly pasteurised milk is undoubtedly the safest milk. THE MILK AND DAIRIES ORDER OF 1926. This Order extends to the examination of all milking cows that are not included in the Milk (Special Designations) Clrder: it is not compulsory for Local Authorities to examine under the Order, but this County decided to do the work in 1935. During 1937, 19193 Clinical examinations were carried out, averaging 9596 cows every six months. As mentioned in my two previous Reports many of the cow- sheds where milk is produced are in a very bad state. Since the Milk Marketing Board commenced to function a very large num- ber of I'armers now sell milk without having Registered with the Sanitary Authority according to ]:»art 3, Section 6 and 7 of the Milk and Dairies Order of 1926. When the milk ])roducer’s attention is drawn to this anomaly, the usual repl)' is “ 1 am registered with the Milk Marketing Board.” Apparently the rival concerns collecting milk under the Marketing vSeheme are not concerned about the condition of the premises where milk is produced and handled.
