Milk with Dry Hands.

It is not neat practice to wash the
teats or to wet the hands before begin
ming milking, though it is often prac-
tised, and occasionally is recommended.
Brushing off the loose dirt that adheres
to teats and udder is all that is re-
quired. If hands are wet some of this
dirt, full of germs, will be moistened
and adhere to them. More or less will
fall into the milk pail. By carefully
rubbing teats and udder with a dry
cloth all the particles that will come
loose by dry milking will be removed.
It is very rare that milk is injured in
this way While milking is being done.
It is much more likely to occur by the
odors of fresh excrement, either liquid
