Inspector Exposes Traders' Tricks
COW SWAPPERS RAPPED
Pair* Inspector Jones in an interview
! today gave sonic startling ineide facts of
I cruelty and crookedness in the traffic in
milk cows, conducted <>n some of the
principal streets of Atlanta. Other city
officials have taken note of the conditions
and a movement has been started io pass
more stringent ordinances of regulation
»»esides demanding a rigid enforcement by
the police, of the old laws
The custom of trailing and selling cows
I on the street at the corner of Marietta
and Forsyth streets, which has held since
Xtlantft u;fs a village, today attracts at
trition as one of the unique industries
in the city It is as well organized as the
horse swapping business during eourt
week in any small Southern town, despite
the modern city business arbund It. And
the tricks of the gam< are as in
genious.
“The man over there savs Fhat cow
has onh had her second calf." said In
spector Jones, and he immediately has
the attention nf all aropnd him, for he is
recognized as an expert and it Is realized
that he is about to tell the real farts
about the animal The cow is at least
six years old Look ai her horns. They
thin at the roots and there are many
knolls toward the renter 'The horns of a
young cow are full at the roots and taper
smoothly to the points
Prime Trick of Trade.
'you see cows on the street suffering
with swollen udders The trailers won’t
milk them for many hours to make them
appear hjg milkers. Most of the cows
on the street have full sacks It is the
prime trick of the trade. Frequently
they low from suffering.
"It is seldom that you see a milk cow
for sale without a young calf at her side.
Rut I have frequently seen Jersey cows
with scrub calves. It is almost easy to
sell the calf back tn a trader for a good
pcice But if the purchaser’observes, he
may see the same calf with another cow
on the next day.
"A man told me the other day that he
noticed a cow suffering because she bad
not been milked for many hours. A hun
gry young calf was struggling at the end
of a rope held by a negro hoy to get to
the cow It seemed ravished. He asked
the trader why he did not let the. calf
feed
" ‘Well,’ said the trader with a drawl,
I will, if you will see that that calf gets
home tonight. If it isn’t hungry it won t
follow the cow when I start home and
there will he no way to get it there un
less I haul it.’
“Persons have bought cows on the
streets- of Atlanta* and -milked as much
as two gallons the first milking. But
thereafter they would not get as much as
a quart a day They sometimes think
they have a fine, new milker with a young
calf When they got home the cow won’t
have anything to d<» with the calf
Rm it Is a hard Vendition to deal with.
Many traders have been Indicted for
swindling But it Is almost impossible to
prove it It is almost impossible to tell
how long a cow has gone without milk
ing, especially when some one swears dif
ferent from what you think Some cows’
udders swell amt become Inflamed with
the best sort of care. But few ‘offered
for sale on the streets give the amount of
milk they appear they will.
Change Affects Milk,
"Then, any cow will give less when you
change her home. They must become ac-t

cuatorhed to a place before they will give
down all their milk It they are not given
the right sort of food they get sick and
probably go dry.’
While he was talking a nicely dressed
man walked up to look over a cow He
pulled a few times at her udder and
looked closely at her horns.
"That man knows a cow." said Inspect
or Jones "He shows it by the way he
examines that one."
Inspector Jones said most of the cows
sold here are raised In. Georgia. The
traders go out into the country and buy
t hem.
Hr Claude Srpith. head of the city's
laboratory of hygiene, said that uncon
sciously the trader and dairymen do a
great service to the city. The practice
ke*»ps cows in Atlanta practically free
from tuberculosis
He explained that most of the tuhercu-*
losis is found in large herds and among
fancy cattle that has heen kept a long
time. In Atlanta a cow Is usually sold
for beef when she goes dry. In this way
the milk producers aret continually
changed. The recruits come from Iso?
Iftfed sections where they have had little
chance to become infected with tubercu
lar germs.
