COOLING THE MILK.
0dors and Arrests the Process
OF Ferme ntation.

Clean milking by clean hands, IN as
pure a stable atmosphere as is obtain
able, must be supplemented by rapid
and thorough cooling Of the milk
Cooling at once lessons the capacity of
the milk to take up odors, arrests the
process of fermentation, and, if we'll
stirred during the cooling, the cream
is kept from rising to the surface and
will afterward more surely remain.
mixed with the milk while being dis
tributed from the wagon. These are
valuable considerations for milkman
who desires to give his customers a
good service.
s For us the simplest and best way to
accomplish all these good results is to
have a tank Of ice water in a room
near l,e or adjoining the milking-room.
AS fast as the pals are filed take inn
mediately to the tank and pour the
milk into tin cans which are suspend
ed in ice water. Have an agitator in
the can while being filed. The SIM
plest and best form for this is not
unlike an oldfashioned churn dasher,
only make the dasher of a piece Of tin
six or seven inches in diameter, sol
dered firmly onto the end of wire
handle, which had better be galvan-
lied and have a loop in the end to
hang it up by. Two or three plunges
with this implement in can Of milk
each time that pail is emptied will
be found to be very effective in agi-
tating, and consequently in cooling.
the milk.
We much prefer this simple and ef-
fective method to any Of the more
elaborate and expensive ones, and it
is our experience that milk so treated
will keep longer than as though ex-
posed to the atmosphere in fine
spray or q thin sheet, in neither Of
which cases are any germs removed,
but it is reasonably certain that even
under very. favorable conditions few
are added to the milk. Milk or any
other fluid will cool much more readi-
ly when brought in close contact with
water than in air.. even though the
air is considerably colder than the
water. This is especially true of milk
in tin cans or glass jars, If one must
have an aera tor, he should choose one
through which water is run for cool
ing purposes. - F. w. Mossman, in

story Of a Jealous Cow.

A strange piece Of spite on the part
of COW is reported from Slough, says
the British Dairy Farmer. The animal
belonged to Mr.. johnson, farmer, and
on valuable horse being driven into
the farmyard the COW charged at it, and
inflicted such injuries that it died. A
strange feature in the case is that after
the COW had brought the horse down she
appeared to relent, and while the suf-
fering animal lay in the stable under
Treatment she was constantly at the
door, and resented any attempt to drive
her off. Mr.. johnson attributes the
cows strange conduct to jealousy, as
the horse was often patted and made
much Of, and the COW was a young one
which he had reared himself.
