IT. S. v. G. E. Hillsgrove.     Plea of nolo contendere.     Fine, $10.
ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On September 2, 1910, the United States Attorney for the District 
of New Hampshire, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri- 
culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district an information against G. E. Hillsgrove, Barnsted, N. H., 
alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on or about November 12, 1909, from the State of New 
Hampshire 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 1,200,000 bacteria 
per cubic centimeter. Adulteration of the product was alleged in 
the information for the reason that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance.
On November 1, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of nolo con- 
tendere to the information and the court imposed a fine of $10.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
