Improvements in Dairy Methods.
r. A. Pearson Of the Department Of
Agriculture at Washington. says:
The dairy industry has not been
backward IN making changes IN the
past few decades. This Is a fact OF
common observation, and il is plainly
shown by statistics In 1860 the cheese.
output Of the country was about 1907
900 900 pounds and only a small part
OF this was made in the Eve factories
then in existence. Il Is estimated that
the census Just completed viii show
that the amount Of cheese made In the
United States has increased to 30o0o0,-
600 pounds. IS per cent Of It now being
made IN factories. Thus we see that in
cheesemaking the change from farm TO
factory methods has been almost com
plete In 1860 the butter output was
nearly 460. 900 900 pounds, an Of which
was made on farms. Il Is believed the
last census win show the annual output
OF butter to have increased 10 l.400,
600 900 pounds, one-ffth Of which was
made 10 factories. There Is yet an im-
mense amount Of farm dairy butter on
our markets and much OF It Is sold az
a low price. which means a tremendous
loss to those who make It. High grade
butter Is made In some farm dairies.
but a large part OF farm dairy butter
packed In various forms IS purchased
by dealers for renovation.
Every dairyman IS mofe OF less IA
miliar with changes In apparatus and
methods which have been made n his
own line OF work. The method of but
termaking Is being almost revolution
ized by the centrifugal cream separa-
tor. the Babcock tester and new meth
ods Of ripeDing cream
With a few notable exceptions. there
has recently been but little change in
the method OF supplying milk for city
use. We think that the system of su-
pervising city milk supply. as followed
in some cities. is radically wrong MIX
eonsumers are often informed through
the pubic press that certain dealers
have been prosecuted for selling adul-
terated. preserved OF otherwise impure
milk and they get SO much informa-
ton Of this kind that they are led 10
believe that milk IS a dangerous article
of food and should be avoided as much

George II. Blake, IN his book on
Common Sense Ideas for Dairymea,
says:
"The cans. pals. dippers, IN short,
every utensil that COMES In contact
with the milk, should not only be
thoroughly washed. but they should be
immersed in boiling water for several
minutes. The seams and joints in all
utensils should be filled with solder
plumb with the surface OF the vessel,
as these small receptacles form excel
lent breeding places for all kinds Of
germs. To many these precautions
NAV seem unnecessary, but they are
not for analysis shows that milk put
into cans that have been treated in
this manner, contains a much smaller
number of bacteria per cubic cent?
meter than does milk from the same
lot put into cans washed in the usual
way: and it viii remain sweet from SIX
to twelve hours longer. In many
communities the same cans In which
milk is taken to the factory are used
IN carrying home sour milk and whey
While this is a custom that should not
be encouraged, II cannot always De
avoided: but when practiced it Is
doubly important that the cans should
be thoroughly boiled before they are
again used for milk MIX is often
taken to the factory IN cans covered
with a green coating inside Of the neck
and along the seams; such cans are
alive with destructive organisms ana
10 have them In such condition shows
unpardonable neglect. Milk put into
such a receptacle for a single moment;
besides. its mixing at the factory with
other milk is sure to infect the whole
lot. often resulting in much inconyen'
ience and pecuniary loss. Where the
cans are taken home empty 1t IS ad'
visabie to wash them at the factory
where steam can be used in steriliz
I ing them. 1t should not be necessary
for the creamery management to EN-
ploy an extra man to do this work;
wash box and steam jet can be pro
vided and the farmer be permitted &
wash his own cans. When this i
done the cans should be closely GOV
cred with canvas to keep out th'
dirt while returning from the factory
