Fort Collins, Colo.-The report of Dr. George H. Glover, city food inspector, covering six months, shows that of 1,036 beeves, 251 veals, 1,534 hogs and 397 sheep inspected, six beeves, ten hogs and six sheep were condemned for various reasons before they were slaughtered. Twenty-one dairy cows of the 371 inspected were condemned as unfit to supply milk for human consumption. In closing his report, Dr. Glover said:
"It is not sufficient to inspect the cows, the barns, the milk for butter fats, adulterants and bacteria, but the health of the dairyman's family and helpers should be carefully guarded. There should be a severe penalty for any one found guilty of selling dairy products from either a dairy or private house where a person associated there with has an infectious disease. Some of the worst outbreaks of typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diphtheria and other diseases have unquestionably been started in this way."
The city pure food ordinance went into effect September 9, 1907.
