100000 cows; proportion Of one
cow TO every four human beings. The
value OF the national dairy products is
In excess Of $500 COO 600 annually. These
figures represent all that can be asccr-
tanned commercially concerning the
dairy business without taking into ac-
count the thousands and probably hum
dreds Of thousands OF dollars In value
produced by individuals who keep but
one or two cows for their families.
Tie dairy division, through its spe-
cial agents, by the reports from eSper-
iment stations. from state institutions
and state officials, Is devoting its en-
ergies to q scientific supervision of this
great industry, without in any manner
interfering with the methods and man
ners of individuals who carry on their
business In legitimate manner. From
time to time the department of agri-
culture issues bulletins about milk and
milk products, which would be of great
value to all dairymen and farmers II
their disse emination were universal.
The bulletins are of such value that Il

culture that the newspapers, par,icu-
larly the weekly newspapers, shall ben

crs the results shown in the bulletins.
Many farmers and dairymen are sue
cessful In this business. and statistics
Ashow that very many others are unsuc.
cessful. when their environments and
conditions are substantially the same.
This statement, however. might be
made concerning every business; and
the department of agriculture does not
undertake to supply farming or mer-
camille capacity to those who lack tai
ent or ability. The dairy division as
certnins the most likely causes Of fail
ure and endeavors TO advise against
those causes.
Milk, sometimes in very large guam
titles, Is refused because of It's adj
vanced state of decomposition. This Is
palpably because OF carelessness In
handling the milk prior to It's deliv-
cry, or by the mixing OF milk In diff.
ferent stages of decomposition. The
best OF dairymen find that milk Is not
properly handled on the farm before Il
IS taken to the creamery. From the
time the milk leaves the COW until Il Is
put on the train is the most important
period for cleanliness and care. and
there Is where the most of the blame
IL laid-at the farmers door.

ers who will ever think of cleaning
their finger nails. They win scarcely
do that before going TO church, much
less when going TO do their milking.
One OF the chief forms OF bacterial
contaminati ton Of milk comes from this
carelessncss. The udders should be
cleaned always before milking begins.
The fact Is overlooked that after milk
ing the teats are moist and germs plant
themselves there. some of them even
working their way into the tent cavity.
Unless the tcats are cleansed before
the next milking these germs are first
drawn into the milk pail. There they
begin their work of contamination
even while the milking Is going on.
They develop rapidly.
Likewise, when utensils are washed,
unless great care is taken. the milk
will not be completely removed from
them. and the tactic bacteria gather
and germinnte there, 40 that legions
OF the bacteria are in the utensils
when the next milking begins, Just rs
they are In or upon the uddcr or
tcats. Cleaning utensils upon the
farms requires constant and careful
supervision, because employees are
everywhere careless. They use pro-
miscuous rags and wiping cloths.

used, water from cistcrns and shallow
wells, and sometimes dishwater
which has been used for plates and
other table utensils.
AS stated above, the department OF
agriculture believes that there ara
very few dishonest dairymcn. The
dairy division says also that many
customers are unreasonable In their
demands, and that they do not take

That is the hult of the houseke-per.
Milk is often left in glass bottles

meats and vegetables. And yet the
housekecpers who are most careless
