| ____________________________________ DEPARTMENT MAINTAINS INSPECTORS |
|
The Department of Agriculture, under the direction of the Dairy
and Cold Storage Branch, maintains inspectors at the railway terminals
at Montreal, Toronto and Halifax, for the purpose of examining refrigerator
cars as they arrive with butter, reporting the quantity of ice in
the bunkers, the sanitary condition of the car, whether the packages
are properly stowed or otherwise, number of packages and weight
and the temperature of the butter as determined by actual tests
with a thermometer. Daily reports are made to the Markets' Division,
Ottawa, and any defect in the service is brought immediately to
the attention of the railway company. The special refrigerator car
service for butter, which is arranged by the Dairy and Cold Storage
Branch, was in operation this year from May 12 to October 4, inclusive,
and during that time the Montreal inspectors reported on 1,040 cars
containing 290,491 pkgs. (18,800,825 lbs.) of butter. |
