that peculiar animal odor of W
housekeepers often complain, and W
they overcome in part by pouring
milk into a shallow vessel and pla

prejudice against the use of mill
odor affects the flavor.
Airing is, in some respects, even ]
necessary in winter than in sum
Not merely is the COW kept under ,
confined conditions, but the food i.
ferent. Instead of the tender, juicy
lnsipid grass, she partakes of strd
tasting food which must inevitably
part foreign flavor to the milk.
