condemnation of 4 barrels of chickens at Albany, N, Y., alleging that the article 
had been shipped by the Armour Creameries, from Denison, Iowa, in part June 
12, and in part June 26, 1928,' and transported fromi the State of Iowa into the 
State of New York, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and
