THE RURAL WORLD.
THE COWS' RESPONSIBILITY,
A full berch of judges in England have recently decided that the dairyman who sells milk deficient in the usual qualities of good milk is blameless if it can be proved that the product ia sold just as it came from the cow. It seems that it is possible so to feed cows that a large quantity of milk may be yielded, although the quality may be deficient. If further legislation is deemed necessary, as was suggested, it will probably go in the direction of fixing such a standard of quality as will compel milkmen to select their breed o cows and feed them in such a way that that standard will be attained. Milk is an important and universal food, and great as are the milkman's worries already, it is inevitable that means should be taken, to ensure that the public are supplied with a real article. To tamper with the milk should not be a greater offence than to.tamper with the cow, because apparently in both the result is the same to the consumer.
