A Glance at q Baltimore County Cream
ery-A Model of It's Class.-Mr. John Gould
has been visiting some Maryland diaries and in
the Ohio Farmer he has the following to ssy of
one be saw in Baltimore county:
"Here comes man with huge sitter; he is
busting down the cutters with plaster and
South Carolina rock, half and half. There
must be no odor in these stables or semblance
of ferments, and the mixture prevents it. Then
we encounter men with combs and cards,
brushing and Sticking up the cows before milk
ing. In another apartment the men were COM
pounding the ration, made up of q little corn
meal, gluten feed, bran and a trace of oil meal
-four and one-half pounds of the mixture for
a feed, or nine pounds day to the cow on the
al Iacu Horn M
the 1Omen who are to milk the 101 cows. They
90 to the bath room and thoroughly wash and
don freshly washed white duck suits, q fresh
suit for each milking. The pals are fitted
with close covers and funnel strainer packed
with absorbent cotton, through which the milk
goes as drawn. The COW MIXED, the milk is
handed to an attendant, who disappears in the
dairy room, and the mixer washes his hands
and then milks another COW, repeating this for
each one. Another man with damp cloth
carefully wipes the udder of each COW, chang
ing places with the mixer. The milk is pour
ed into sterilized cans and quickly covered and
taken to the creamery, some 40 yards distant.
The team that draws the milk from the stable
is Merry Anthem and another go, 900 bull-a
pretty valuable team.
'sHere the milk is again run through filter
and over a cooler, and its temperature reduced
to 500 when it is taken into an ice cold room,
too cold for any bacilli that want to infest milk
to live. This milk with its bacteria popula-
ton only 400 to the cubic centimeter. when
good milk has $1,000 in a like manner, is bot
tied put in sterilized glass cans. sealed. packed
into boxes of cracked ice and locked, and in an
hour is in the laboratories of the Walker-Gor
don Company to be modified, reinforced with
more fat, etc., and then it is put out to the
hospitals, sick children and others who can
pay Is cents a quart, delivered. Samples of
this milk as prepared every day are now and
then sent to London and Paris and have been
returned good and wholesome. At st. Louis
there is to be q stand where this milk, two days
old, can be purchased, as showing what can be
done if milk is so handled that nothing falls
into the pail, can or crock.
1--WE can only mention the COW hospital,
where new cows are quarantined and other
cows tested and doctored. Even the men have
detention house, where they are sent If they
have only a cold. It was day of discovery to
the writer, and after seeing ali and being fold
more than be can remember he was shown Tin
with each man, carried out in faultless detail
that would have been credit to any bank.
And yet this man with great business interests
in the city found time to be master of every
detail and was not only reader of farm jour
nails, but of dairy literature of all kinds and
knew the latest discovery, and yet confessed
that he knew very little about dairying."
The dairy above described is that of Mr..
Samuel M. Shoemaker, of Burnside Farm,
Green Spring Valley.
