arily confined to the lower part OF the
udder. and the greater number of the
bacteria are washed out with the first
few streams of milk. Sometimes, how.
ever. the growth may extend into IKE
smaller milk ducts, and the last part
of the milk will contain nearly as
many bacteria as the first.
Inflammation of the udder or fermen
tation of the milk in the udder rarely
occurs. because there is only very
small amount of milk held in the I'D
der. and most of the bacteria found
there have little or no effect on milk.
II is also true that fresh milk like the
blood, contains some substance which
has an inhibiting influence on bacteria.
This influence is so slight that it is
probably of little practical Importance,
but 1t may have some relation to The
comparatively slow development OF
macteria in the udder.
The real contamination occurs after
the milk has left the udder. In spite
of careful milking, dirt, particles of
dust, hairs, even bits of manure from
the TANKS or udder of the COW may
fall into the milk. All of these things
invariably carry more or less bacterial
contamination. Manure usually con-
tains large numbers of bacteria. many
of them being kinds which produce
very undesirable changes in milk. and
the dry dust OF the stable floor con
tains great numbers and varieties of
bacteria. This dust soon settles, and
an open milk pail catches surpris-
ingly large amount.
But the contamination does not end
here. The pals or the cans may not
be properly cleaned. and the corners or

this, as all other large affairs, the
services of a caterer are required. All
luncheons and dinners of less than 40
guests are managed by the regular do
nestle staff at the White House.
There are on an average three a week.
At each state reception the guests
invited TO the blue room, generally
about eighty in number. are enter
tanned at supper at the close of the ,e
ception. These affairs cost about $500
each.
The dinners of courtesy to visiting
foreigners and important government
officials depend largely upon the rank
of the visitor. The expense of all
these is borne by the president.
The presidents secretary has the
entire charge of the office and the
clerical staff. The chief usher keeps
a close watch on the caretakers of the
entire first floor. no tourist visitors

The steward purchases all supplies
and looks after the basement. There
are a cook. assistant cook, butler and

Sam, likewise the furnishing and care
of the linen, china, silver and flowers.
President Roosevelt brought his
own riding horses from Sycamore Hill
likewise his carriages. The service at
the White House is government ex-
pense and is sufficient for all practical
purposes. There are always personal
attendants for the family, who are
paid by the president.
The appropriation of $4,000 for
travelling expenses has been necessary,
since a president cannot travel as a
private citizen, alone or alone with
his family. but he must be accom-
panied by large retinue of secret
service men, his secretary, stenog
rapher and personal friends.

dirt or sour milk. These impurities
are full of bacteria. which quickly find
their way into the milk. The cloth
through which the milk is strained
may not have been properly scalded
and the bacteria are not only not all
destroyed. but have actually multiplied
in the damp cloth. When the strainer

are washed out by the milk.

other source of contamination
The contamination from each indi-
vidual source may be small, but taken
all together it has serious influence
on the quality of the milk.
1t should not be assumed that all
bacteria are harmful either to milk or
to the human system. In fact, many
kinds of bacteria will grow in milk for
a long time without changing its taste
or appearance, while many of the fer
mentations which make milk undesir-
able for direct consumption are used
in making butter and various kinds of
cheese. Very few of the bacteria
cause disease or produce poisonous by
products.
