THURSDAY EVENING,
and ccntraJizcrs of the country ship
ping tlioir products into Interstate I
Commerce. .
When Professor George Supplee of 1
Cornell University was seen in the fac
tory then turning out 300,000 pounds
of "pasteurized" butter for the United
States army and navy he was asked
where was the pond from which the
ice used in cooling the wash water
was cut.
He escorted the investigators to the
pond. Ii lay in a basin on the brow
of which stood two cow barns. With
every rain the drainage of these bains
was washed into the basin. The ice
i was cut from frozen water and cow
I sewage.
Come into the barn," said Pro-
I fessor Supplee, "and I will show you
| a condition which explains my reason
lor condemning three batches of but
ter. These people did not know I
meant business in inspeoting the but
ter made here for the government.
They could not realize that I meant
business until I had condemned the
third batch, after which they began
to clean up."
The barns to which we were es
corted were known as "the model
I barns." It was the cream originat
ing in them that Professor Supplee
had condemned.
"Do you mean," he was asked, "that
you reject the cream from these mod
el barns while using the cream that
comes from the dirty farms in the
country districts roundabout?"
"That is exactly the situation," he
said. "I don't know anything about
the cream produced in outside farms
delivering to this creamery. But I
, do know that the cream produced here
is not fit for human consumption."
He led the way to the room where
the cream from the creamery herd
was being made ready for churning,
i It was as bad as any of the barns
along the country roads. Tho walls
and ceilings were infested with flies.
Within twenty feet of the room lay a
manure pit over which the flies buzzed
in swarms.
"Now you can see for yourself,"
said Professor Supplee, "why I cannot
permit the stuff originating here to go
i into Uncle Sam's butter.
"I have been kept so busy here that
I have been unable to find a single
hour in which to make inspections in
the country, in consequence of which
I know nothing about the conditions to
be found there. •
"Perhaps very pound of butter pro
duced here should be rejected. I don't
know, for the sole reason that I have
been unable to find out.
"This plant operates every dav in
the week, including Sunday. For the
first time in its history a factory in
spector was here yesterday. When he
declared that the workers must have
one day of rest in each week the own-
HARRI&BURG TELEGRAPH
ers of the plant said: 'lf this is the
law we will have to dock the men a
day's pay. They are paid by the
week.' "
Asked concerning the disposition of
the butter condemned by him he said:
"The stuff I reject for Uncle Sam is
converted Into prints and shipped to
! Philadelphia and New York City.
"Furthermore, when I came here I
i found they were pasteurizing in name
only. I was obliged to change their
' methods so that the bacteria would be
killed as was claimed."
The conditions suggested by this
I description are to be found in thou
sands of other barns and creameries,
i They are common.
On year later in a pasteurizing
creamery in Chicago another group of
investigators, of which I was one,
I found men working over full tubs
scraping the surplus from the tubs
with a stick and squeezing it with
their baro hands into lumps. The
' lumps were then thrown into other
tubs.
Butter hanging from the tubs fell
1 to the cement floor and was picked
up dripping with dirty water and put
back into the tubs. We had just
' come in from the Chicago streets and
our shoes were In the water in which
the butter fell. It was "pasteurized"
butter.
The girls in the print room squeezed
off the extra weight from the butter
on the scales and deftly added the
i finger excisions to the prints which
were found to be short weight,
1 smoothing the handled butter cleverly
i with a knife.
In this "pasteurizing" plant process-
Ed, renovated, and ladles butter were
also manufactured.
In the ripening vat dirt and dead
flies were scattered over the surface
of the pasteurized cream, thus rein
fecting it. The man in charge in
forjned us that he was ashamed to
let us see the plant, as it was "all
wrong."
"Improvements are on the way," he
declared.
Ho agreed that naked hands should
not be used in making butter unless
the workers are under medical in
spection.
He agreed that flies should be kept
out of butter at all cost' for the same
reason that they should be kept out
of milk.
He knew the meaning of the phrase,
"the typhoid fly."
He knew that the fly is a carrier of
disease.
He knew that the fly, feeding on thr
spittle of the floor or the street o
emerging from a visit to a cuspidot
or toilet- room can infect milk, pot
cheese, ice cream, cream or butter
with measles, diphtheria, septic sof
throat, tonsilitis, scarlet fever, typhoid
fever, and tuberculosis.
He admitted that all the pasteur
ized butter sold by Ids concern wa:
not pasteurized.
He did not know what percentage 1
came from other crearndries or cen- i
tralizing plants.
We later learned of shipments of
raw butter from various centralizing |
plants to this pasteurized butter in- !
stitution.
There was no medical inspection of'
the men or the girls working in the

butter-making- and print rooms. They
could have suffered from any disease
and remained at their task. No gloves
were used in the factory.
The bureau of animal industry has
nothing to say concerning these evils,
although the products affected by
them are shipped into inter-State com
merce.
