IV.—Thou shalt put no weterin thy milk, thou nor thy man servant nor thy maid servant. When the dividend com. eth not and thou goeth forth to seek it unto the committee, they shall say un- to thee, Dost thou-see anything in our i ‘Thou shalt get no sheckel from thy milk not if the court knoweth itself, which she think- eth she doth; moreover if thou settleth ral thing up, we will makeit hot for thee \V.—Fhow shalt-not kill thy deacon and leave the carcass to rot near the barn, for the stench thereof tainteth the milk. V1.—Thou shalt not bring unto the factory anysour or tainted milk, nor the milk of a cow that is sick or hath but lately calved, for from such miik cometh. lively cheese, VII.—Thou shalt not carry off more than thy share of whey, lest one should say to another concerning thee, Lo!a wonder; one hog doth carry food for another.
