Rule 3. It shall be the duty of each person using any premises for
keeping cows for dairy purposes to keep such premises thoroughly clean
and in good repairs and well painted or whitewashed at all times.

Rule 4. It shall be the duty of each person using any premises for
keeping cows for dairy purposes to cause the buildings in which cows are
kept to be thoroughly cleaned, and remove all dung from the premises so
as to prevent its accumulation in great quantities.

Rule 5. Any person using any premises for keeping cows for dairy
purposes shall provide and use a sufficient number of receptacles, made
of nonabsorbent materials for the reception, storage and delivery of milk,
and shall cause them at all times to be cleaned and purified, and shall
cause all milk to be removed without delay from the rooms in which cows
are kept.

Rule 6. Every person keeping cows for the production of milk for sale
shall cause every such cow to be cleaned every day, and to be properly
fed and watered with an abundance of pure, clean water.

Rule Y. Any enclosure where cows are kept shall be graded and

twenty dollars for each day during which shipments shall be made after
notice of such order.
