MILK RECEPTACLES.
The Importance of Keeping Dairy Uten
sis Clean and Sweet.

The Importance of Keeping Dairy Uten.
sis Clean and Sweet.
In no other work Is there as great
demand for cleanliness as in the three
parts of the dairy business, milk, but
ter and cheese. The most attention is
needed to maintain the cleanliness of
the milk receEtacleS, such as pals.
pans, cans and churns. In the first
place there should be sufficient sup
ply of pans that those emptied and
washed in the morning need not BE- used
until evening or the next day. After
washing they should be placed in the
sunlight until used. On cloudy days
they can be thoroughly dried about the
stove and not nestled when they are
wet, and allowed to thus remain for
several hours, as in that condition they
cannot dry, and when separated at
night they will give off disagreeable
Odor, and the warm milk placed in them
is certain to be contaminated. All tin
dairy utensils should be first washed in
boiling water, then thoroughly rinscd
in clean cold water, and turned bottom
side up to drain and dry until again
should be cleaned as soon as emptied,
and not allowed to stand neglected for
hours thereafter. The shelves, benches
and racks upon which the pans are set
should be washed with soap and water
every time they are cleared. Even a
few drops of milk allowed to remain
on them to mold or gum up with butter
fat would prove unhealthy, and detri-
mental to the milk in the same apart
ment Where only a few cows are
kept the same scrupulous cleanliness
should be observed. The surface of the
butter in the tubs should be covered
with cloth saturated with strong
brine, both during and after the filling
is completed Locate the filled tubs in
a cool, dark portion of the cellar, ex-
anime once a week, and if the brine is
found oozing through the slaves, it
should be wiped away and not allowed
to remain and stain the wood, giving it
most uninviting look.-American
