New Dairy Rules
New regulations covering the milk,
cream and cheese industries in On-
tario have been issued by Hon.
Thomas L. Kennedy, 'Minister of Ag-
ricultpre, under the Dairy Products
Actt, 1930, Many, of the old' regula-
tions stand and are co-ordinated with
the new ones enacted by the de-
partment.
'Under "Composite Testing of leilk,"
a new clause reads: "At all plants ex-
cept where a Government official does
the testing, the canepoeite slemples ,of
milk shall be tested within five days
tater the last samptle for the, testing
period is taken, and kept for ten days
following She day on which the com-
posite samples are tested."
A change in rules of sampling and
testing of cream says that each 'pat-
ron's cream shall be sampled and
tested tor butter fat within thwiety-six
hours after delivery at the plant
Ait imporbaut change in premiums
for different grades of cream reads:
"When a premium of more then two
cents is paid, the cream for which
such a premium is paid s'ha'll test not
more than two-'tent'hs per cent. acid,"
tPreViously three cents was bh.e lid
premium in this. clause.
Many rules covering ' the border
areas between Provinces are enacted
and much arranged:' through reciproc-
ity between the Gov'ernmen'ts.
