practical dairymen which lead to, the
conclusion that it is not necessary or
conducive to the best keeping qualities
of milk to practice aeration. The
method of treating milk as now advo-
|cated is as follows: Immediately after
milking strain the milk into common
eight quart cans or shotgun cans,
cover tightly and then place in the
cooling tank. All Of the milk in cans
of this size is within five inches of the
cold water or ice surrounding it, and
will soon cool without stirring or ex
nosure to air. Milk cooled in a tight
can without contact with air has been
found TO remain sweet longer and be
of better flavor than aerated milk.
Exneriments in treating milk in this
wav have been carried out by cream
erv patrons during the months of July
and August with the result that milk
in every case arrived in sweet cond-
ton at the creamery
Dirty milk may be readily detected
from the character of the curd be-
cause of the formation OF gassy tex
tnra and unclean favors produced by
bacteria.
tennt 70 C,,re.-It is better to prevent
by ordinary carefui metnoos the en-
trance of dirt into milk than to rely on
patent strainers and cheese cloth 70
remove the dirt or on aeratlon 10 re-
move bad odors. The flne dust paru-
cles from the hay NOV cannot be re-
moved by strainers or even py
separator.
BOTTLES VS. Cans-Milk should be
marketed in bottles. These are the
most sanitary carriers and are easily
cleansed and sterilized. Parchment
n.ner covers fastened over the top OF
tho hottie will prevent the regular
can from becoming dirty and from be-
inc soiled bv the hands. This simple
;nexnensibe precaution will prevent en-
tirelv the collection OF dirt in the open
ing of the bottle and subsequent access
TO the milk when the cap is removed.
| The pouring of milk from can TO can
in the open air amidst the NTH ol
dirty streets is unqueSuonably pau
nractice. MANY diarymen delivering
milk directly to consumers realize tna'
this is an unsanitary way OF marketing
milk and have adopted bottles as the
onlv satisfactory carriers.
TYNE of Wagon.-In retailing milk,
tho covered type wagon is the best, as
tho nroduct is protected from the warm
ravs Of the sun and from the dirt OF
the street. Further, ice may be more
conveniently packed around the potties
| in a covered wagon, and will Keep
| longer, protected in TINS way. Ill sollie
part of this State, dairymen pack the
bottles in ice during the Warmes'
months, and milk thus cared for IN the
wagons has been delivered to the con
sumner at a temperature less than %
degrees Fahrenheit.
