itary condition Of milk is as follows:
Take a pint of milk as it is received
from the milkrnan, pour off few
spoonfuls, to facilitate shaking, and
place in a. painful of warm water, e5
to LOO degrees; when thoroughly warm
throughout, add one rennet tablet
which has previously been dissolved in
one spoonful OF water, and shake, then
set away in a warm place for few
minutes. When curdled, cut the curd
thoroughly with a knife, to let out the
whey. Let stand for a few minutes,
drain off all whey possible, and con-
tinue to pour off the whey as It ac-
cumlates. There Will then be q lump
Of compact curd. Cut this in two with
a knife, 50 that 1t VIII fall out The
character Of this cird will show very
clearly the sanitary quality of the
milk. II spongy and full OF numerous
holes, undesirable forms of bacteria,
particularly those that produce gas, are
present This class of bacteria is con-
sidered by authorities to BIO one OF the
causes of epidemic diarrhea. If firm
and smooth, with few or no holes the
milk is clean and has been handled In
sanitary manner. This test may be
continued further by placing the cllrd
back in the bottle and filling half full
of water. II the curd floats 1t indicates
that the milk is unclean; if 1t sinks, the
milk is reasonably clean.-W omans
