II goes into the can. or ~ afterwards
done. II can hardly be kept in NJ condi-
tion by the use OF water alone, writes
c. II. Everett In Wisconsin Agricul-
turist. Il may seem TO be sweet In
the morning, as II starts for the fac
tory. but II Il has far TO go. and is ex-
posed 10 the hot sun on the way, or II
the mornings milk Is added to the
milk OF the night before, by the time
Il reaches its destination Il Is not good
milk, and Il is not to the interest Of
the patron. especially II II be a CO.
operative factory, to have the milk In
any other than prime condition. DO
not know OF a single farmer In my
nelghborhood besides myself that uses
The aorators; some OF them set the cans
In the stock tank over night, but that
method Is frequently Of no benefit as
the water IN the tank this hot weather
Is often nearly as warm as the milk
and "a really a detriment as the milk
Is kept warm throughout the night,
and more than that the covers are re-
moved from the cans and the foul odors
Of the barnyard find their way into
the milk. Others use small tank
through which the water flows from
. he pump to the stock tank That
method Is better. but nocessitates eN-
srclse at the pump handle many
night when there Is no wind TO turn
he wheel. and the farmer Is tired and
anxious for his well-earned rest.so that
he milk Is often neglected. Some men
strain the milk into the delivery cans
md allow II to set In the stable dur
ing Inc night. II I were boss at the lac
DRY would send such milk back; II -
not NJ for butter nor cheese. II seems
strange TO me that men will resort 10
M methods but the one that u the
cheapest. the easiest executed, the one
hat Will give the best results and re-
urn the greatest benefit a milk
