Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Milk Commission Appointed to Enquire Into the Production, Care and Distribution of Milk, 1909 To understand conditions and needs, it is first necessary to set forth present legislative enactments governing the production, care and distribution of milk for human consumption and manufacturing purposes. Like all other Canadian laws, these come under three heads - federal, provincial and municipal. In matters of agriculture, under which dairying naturally comes, the Dominion and Provincial authorities have concurrent powers, the federal being supreme. The provinces, therefore, may make practically what laws they choose within reason. The municipalities, which receive their powers from the provincial legislatures, may make only such by-laws as are within the scope thereby delegated. The production, care and distribution of milk being largely a provincial and municipal matter, it is not the subject of any extensive federal legislation. The Health of Animals Branch of the Dominion Department of Agriculture encourages good breeding by means of the record of performances and other agencies, combats contagious diseases, administers the quarantine regulations and has charge of the enforcement of the tuberculin test on animals for import or ex port. The tuberculin test consists in injecting a small quantity of tuberculin be neath the skin and taking the temperature of the animal at intervals both before and after. If the temperature rises to a certain degree, it is proof that the animal, in some part, suffers from tuberculosis. This is described as reacting. The tuberculosis law provides that all cattle which have reacted to the tuberculin test shall be deemed to be affected with tuberculosis and shall be permanently marked as the Veterinary director-general may prescribe. No reacting cattle shall be permitted to be exported. Imported cattle must be quarantined a week and tested, and if found to react, shall be permanently marked in the right ear with the letter T and released, except cattle from the United States and Mexico, which will be slaughtered. Cattle showing clinical symptoms of tuberculosis shall be destroyed or otherwise disposed of, as the Minister may direct. In addition, the Department agrees to supply tuberculin free of cost to anyone making application and agreeing to have his herd tested by a qualified veterinarian, make a report of the result to the Department and have reactors earmarked. No compensation is provided for. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
