WEEKLY EDITION. ‘ The deceased woman’s face was! somewhat blackened and blood was oozing from her mouth and nose; A towel with considerable vomit on it was found near the bed. The woman had been in good spirits the night before, and had been out “spending the evening with friends. She retiri ed early and was then apparently in good health. . An inquest as toethe cause oflth'e woman’s death was held on Friday afternoon in the Council chamber. The jurors visited the ‘home, which, When Mrs, James Cassie. who lives on the top flat at the Shier block. did not set up to get her fusband‘s breakfast. Mr. Wm. _Br-ooks. a boards er, thinking there was something wrong. decided to make an investiga- tion. He proceeded to awaken Mrs. Cassie, but without avail. Opening the door of her room he went inside to find her wrapped in the blankets, dead. He immediately awakened the other members of the household and sent for Dr ,Brown, who, on arriving, announced that the woman had been dead a short time, but said nothing more as to the cause of same. i At the farms at which investigations fwere carried on, the cattle on inspec- tion appeared to be all right, and samples of their milk temed were proven to be free from the trouble. Samples of water from the wells, cis- terns and cooling vats proved these to be the source of the trouble in eVery instance. In one case, the barnyard well proved to be badly infected, and fro mthis well the cooling vats Were filled, and these were badly infected. just one spot of this water accidentally splashed into a can of milk would Mrs. Cassie Came to Her. Death FOUND READ IN RED LAOT THURSDAY MORNING BY A ROARDER NO EVIDENGE OF OUIGIDE=DRs BROWN FOUND NO POIION ABOUT THE ROOM=MIGHT HAVE OHOKID TO DEATH. } Although it is possible for cattle isufiering with inamed udders or gar- get, to produce slimy milk, we proved iconclusively in each case investigat- ‘ed, that it was not any disease in any of the cattle that was the cause of the ropy milk. In fact, this kind of ropy lmilk is not caused by a disease-pro- 'ducing germ, but by one that lives in ‘water, and is not at all dangerous from a health standpoint, either for xanimals or man. So that this kind of iropy milk is not caused by a diseased condition of the cow, nor will it cause any disease in man, but owing to its disgusting appearancfe, the slimy, ropy lstuff is thrown away by the house- ikeeper, and the milkman who supplies it is told that his milk is not wanted any more. Although it is possible for this condi- tion of milk to occur at any time of the year, this is the season when it is perhaps most prevalent; and so. thinking that probably other farmers or handlers of milk may be so troubl- ed, and entirely-in the dark as to the cause and the control of such an un- satisfactory state oi things, we take the liberty of sending to the press a few lines on the subject. During the past few weeks we have had brought to us for investigation several bad cases of ropy milk. Each case was presented by a farmer whose farm waslsituated near a city in which he peddled the milk of from twenty- five to thirty cattle, each having a good business and each rapidly losing his customers because the milk, it kept a few hours, would become viscid, slimy, or ropy, apparently altogether unfit for use, and disgusting to handle. This condition of their milk brought about a serious financial loss to these farmers, a loss which was increasing from day to day, and after trying their utmost to solve the problem, they were almost in despair of finding a remedy when they brought the matter before the Ontario Agricultural College auth- orities to see if we could do anything for them. We are able in each in- stance to find the cause and to suggest a simple remedy, which, if put into practice, would entirely do away with the mischief. (By D. . Jones, Lecturer in Bacteriology.) From an Unknown Cause ROPY could lend very little. assistance to the jury as to the oause offlthe de- ceased's death. He found no trace of poison in the room he said, but fihe way that she appeared after he!) Returning to the Council chamber again. the jurors listened to the evi- dence. Mrs. Margaret McKay, mother of the deceased. sat down and subbed through the entire proceedings. She had always slept with her daughter while her husband was away on the railroad, but on the night in question she did not. She told the jury that she had known her daughter to take chloroiorm to cure a headache (r send her to sleep. The last time she used it she promised never to touch it again. ..; Continuing her evidence, she said she thought she remembered hearing noises on the stairs between 2 and 3 o’clock, but was not sure. When she was awakened in the morn- ing, she rushed to her daughter's room and found her still warm. ‘ presented a very gloomy eepeeh Th green bhnda were lowered. and on bed in the centre at the room lay the 001_d body 01 Mrs, Cassie. or hands and clothes of all who have anything to do in the milking opera. tions. If this is carefully attended to. that: Will be no trouble from ropy mi _. Such, then, is the nature of the trouble and its cause; now for the remedy. When once milk is infected. it cannot be prevented from becoming ropy unless it turns sour. The sour- ing of the milk by the lactic acid germ will prevent the development of -the ropy milk germ, and we have known farmers prefer to have their milk turn sour rather than have the reputation of being retailers of ropy milk, and so they did not put their cans into the cooling vats. The re- medy for the trouble then is to prevent the germs from getting into the milk. and to prevent them from getting in. we must know how they get in, and whereby they come from. A simple way of ascertaining where they come from is to take a series of vessels. (such as tumblers, cups bottles or jugs. thoroughly scald these and put into them some milk immediately after milking. Then into one of these put about a spoonful of water from the cooling vat, into another the same quantity from the well or cistern, in- to another a little dust from the stable 'or milk-house floor, and so on, putting into one of these vessels of milk a little of the water or other material which maybe suspected to be the source of the infection. Then cover these over with a plate or saucer, or anything else that has been scalded. and put them away where they will not be disturbed for twenty-four hours or so. Then using a different spoon or fork for each one, thest them for ropiness, and in this way one can find out where the germ is coming from. All cans, pails and strainers should be thoroughly scalded or steamed be-‘ fore use each time. If thesource of‘ contamination be a well or cistern, the water from these places should not be allowed to touch the,-milk cans, pails. etc. Or if no other water is to be had ‘for filling the cooling vats, there may be put into these vats a little potas- sium bichromate at the rate of one part potassium bichromate to one thousand parts of water. This will prevent the growth of the germs in the water. This is, however, a poison, so care must be used to prevent its access into the milk. The floor and walls of the milk-house should be thoroughly up, the dust on the floor would be infected, and if this dust blew into ithe milk the milk would turn ropy. If any of this water got on to the milk- man’s hands, he would be liable to smear it on the cans when he was putting them into the vat, or when he was putting on the can lids. The re- sult would be ropy milk. In many other ways it would be possible for a little of the water to get into the milk. Then if the cans, pails, and strainers were not thoroughly scalded after they had once had infected milk in them. the milk that was put into them afterwards would become ropy. As it takes from twelve to thirty-six hours for the ropiness to (lavelop, the milk has usually left the milkman’s or far- mer’s hands, before it gets ropY. and these men know nothing about it un- til.they hear from their customers a- bout it next day cause it to become ropy.
