Caring for Ailk.-l. Never, under
any circumstances, put pail # milk
into your can before straining. Ore pail
of unstrained milk may spoil whole can
and OF. can Of impure milk will >rtainly
iriure all milk or cream with which =
comes in contact. In the ZANE Of de-
cency we beg of every patron to be par
,icul:r about milking and properly strain
ing his milk.
g. Cans containing n ilk should never
be keg.t in a milking barn durin' the
night. The scent of the stable Ghowevv=
we'll kept, Will iD)ure the milk and sEo!
the nice flavor fresh butter should have.
An open shed, a little distance from the
barn. your woodshed, or & cool Kitchen,
is the only proper place for keeping milk
over night.
3. Insist that your milking is done n
clearly manner. Too much pains can
not be taken in this particular. Caiele>s-
ness llrre will entail a great loss On tbs
manufacturer and insult the consumer.
T. Bed your cows with sawdust. If
possible: it will keep your COWS clean
and the stable sweet.
5. Do not, under any circumstances
leave Your pals and strainer at 1hs barn
house and insist that they be properly
washed both morning and evening.
Much depends on this.
6. Use only tin pals fer milking.
I. Tin strainer pals are the bts, for
straining milk. Same dairylnen use
strainer pai's and also cloth stretched
across the can, thus straining the milk
twice. We advise this double st-aining
of milk. 1tcos's you but little trouble,
while it will greatly add to the value Of
the butter and cheese made from your
milk american Dairvnadn.
