Inspector Exposes Traders' Tricks
COW SWAPPERS RAPPED
Dairy Inspector tones In an Interview
today gave some startling Inside facts of
cruelty and erooaedness in the traffic in
milk cows, conducted on some of the
principal streets of "Atlanta cither city
| officials have taken note of the conditions
and a movement has been started Io pass
more stringent ordinances of regulation
besides demanding a rigid enforcement by
the police of the old laws.
The custom of trading and selling cows
on the street at the corner of Marietia
and Forsy th streets, which has held since
Atlanta was a village, today attracts at
tention as one of the unique industries
in the city It is as well organized as the
horse swapping business during court
week tn any small Southern town, despite
the modern city business around it. And
the tricks of the game are Just as in
genious
"The man over there sacs that cow
lias only had her second calf. ’ said In
spector Jones, and he Immediately has
the attention of all around him, for he is
recognized as an expert and it Is realized
that he Is about to tell the real facts
about the animal The cow Is at least
six years old. Ix>ok at her horns They
are thin at the roots and there are many
knolls toward the center The horns of a
young cow are full al the roots and taper
smoothly to the points.
Prime Trick of Trade.
"You see cows on the street suffering
with swollen udders The traders won't
milk them for many hours to make them
appear big 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 I hat you see a milk row
for sale without a young call at her side.
Rut 1 have frequently seen Jersey cows
with scrub calves It is almost easy to
sell the calf back to a trades for a good
price But 1f 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 had
not been milked for many hours. A hun
gry young calf was struggling at the end
of a rope held by a negro boy 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,
'1 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 ft there un
less I haul It.'
"Persons have bought cows on the
streets of Atlanta a-nd mHked as much
as two gallons the first milking But
thereafter they would nett get as much as
a quart a day. They sometimes think
they have a fine, new milker with a young
calf When they get home the cow won’t
have anything to do with the calf.
Rut It la a bard condition Io deal with
Many traders have been Indicted for
swindling Bit! 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 wrhat you think Some cows’
udders swell and 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.

down all thetr milk. If.the - 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 cow. 4
sold here are raised in Georgia. The
traders go out Into the country and buy
t hem.
I >r. Claude Smith, head of the city's
laboratory of hygiene, said that uncon
sciously flic trader and dairvmen do a
great service to the city. The practice
keeps cows in Xtlanta practically free
from tuberculosis.
He explained that most of the tubercu
losis Is found in large herds and among
fancy cattle that has been kept a long
time In Atlanta a cow Is usually sold
for beef when she goes dry. In this way
the milk producers are continually
changed The recruits come from iso
lated sections where they have had little
chance to become infected with tubercu
lar germs

is worth every penny that we claim for it. It is
never necessary to make allowances for exaggera
tions in our advertisements; we never encumber
them with exaggerations.

will be.
