U. S. v. F. A. Burnham.     Plea of guilty.    Fine, $40.
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On June 8, 1910, the United States Attorney for the District of 
Connecticut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district an 
information against F. A. Burnham, Hampton, Conn., alleging 
shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act, on November 13, 1909, from the State of Connecticut into the 
State of Massachusetts, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated. 
The product bore no label.
Examination of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chem- 
istry of this Department showed the presence of an excessive number 
of bacteria. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the infor- 
mation for the reason that it consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, 
and putrid animal substance.
On June 24, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the 
information and the court imposed a fine of $40.
C. F. MARVIN, 
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
