The Care OF Milk.
Here We are again; same old story, hut
it can't be told too often. 1t seems SO
difficult to make many creamery patrons
realize the Importance to them in dollars
and cents Of taking better care Of their
milk. The patron of a cooperative
creamery is no less than a partner Ia tho
undertaking and cannot deliver a pound
Of poor milk without its affecting his
share Of the returns. Not only this, but
he Is effected directly in the test OF his
milk. There Is a prevailing impression
that ii q patron can get his milk accept
ed the others will have enough good
milk to completely drown the inferior
quality Of his, and consequently he will
share equally with them in the returns.
An inspection Of bis composite test bot.
tls as testing time draws nigh will show
the fallacy Of such reasoning. As is
known to all patrons, a sample OF each
patrons milk is taken every morning
and kept IN a bottle or jar until tested,
which is done once or twice a month.
The milk is preserved by placing in the
bottle a certain amount OF corrosive
sublimate. Ii milk is delivered in the
condition it should be for the production
Of fine butter samples taken from it will
keep sweet and in perfect condition for
a month OF more i'll the hottest weather.
The compounds used for this purpose
will not, however, turn tainted milk
sweet. Aside from this il one or two
samples are added to the previous good
ones from milk which is upon the poiu,
OF souriCg the entire contents OF the
bottle will be effected to the detriment
OF the test. The milk will thicken ant
from which it is impossible TO secure ar
accurate test as to the actual amount o.
butter fat contained in that particular

. without treating the sample to achem
ical process no creamery is prepared t.
undertake. The result is the patron re
ceiyes a lower test than his milk woult

one is to blame but himself. He cause
loss Of money to himself and others ais
g to a certain extent. He receives for thi
reason all he is entitled to, and more
u too. His test bottle shows that his mil
was not right when delivered, thong

all poor milk without a more rigid in
spection than is practical in the ord
nary manner Of weighing in. Give

The patrons Of the Kimball creamer
: know how milk should be taken care {
by this time and it is not necessary
ID repeat it here. Suffice to say that min,
is tenths of the poorly kept milk coming /
is caused either by unclean cans an

chance to cool out and get tho air. III
der ordinary conditions and with but IL

four hours in the hottest weather, an
with no artificial cooling In kcepin
