Some of the cream should be taken
out and let sour. If it sours right,
the cream has been, taken good care
of and so it is all right to make good
| butter.
SECOND PRIZE-RUTH SCHMIDT.
The first essential for the produc-
tion of good milk is the sanitary con-
dition of the dairy barn and surround
! ings. The yard should be kept dry
and clean. A barn built with con-
crete floor is desirable as it is easily
! kept clean and will last longer than
, a wooden one. The walls snould be
white washed so as to make the room
| lighter. Nine hundred to one thou
sand feet of air space is necessary for
each cow and to have perfect ventila-
tion many windows are needed to al
low entrance of air and sunshine,
which acts as a purifier. Bank barns
are not advisable for dairy barns. be-
ing usually dark and damp. Tuber
culosis among cattle is caused by
unsanitary conditions in the yard and
barn in which they are housed.
Cleanliness of the COW and mixer
as wella the barn is very important.
To pervent dirt from entering the
milk no dust should be in the air at the
time of milking and if the cow is
thoroughly cleaned with curry comb
a number of times a week and brushed
good with a bristle brush just before
milking, then damped with moist
sponge very little dust or scurf will
enter the milk. A partially covered
milk-pail is also very good.
Many people think milking a-dis-
agreeable and unclean task so they
put on their worst clothes at milking
time. This idea is wrong. The
mixer should wear clean clothes and
brush them every time before milking.
His hands should be washed and thor
oughly dried. Cows produce better
and more milk if milked regularly
and always by the same person.
Milk as it is drawn from the 0ow is
almost free of bacteria. AS soon as
any dirt enters in, bacteria, which is
minute plant life and causes decay,
rapidly, and hence as bacteria
is found in dirt it is best to allow
as little as possible to get into the
milk. ,
Milk pals of good tin ware with
all seams and joint soldered over are
the best kind obtainable. Vessels
which have had milk in them should
be thoroly washed after each using.
First rinse with cold water, as hot
water melts the fat and causes it to
adhere to the sides of the pail. After
being washed with hot water scald
with boiling water and expose to the
lirest rays of the sun, which will kill
all bacteria. A compound containing
no grease aids in the washing of milk
utensils. A stiff brush is superior to
Morris tribune., 1911-03-24

cloth in washing vessels as cloth
is hard to keep clean and absorbs odor.
Immediately after the milk is drawn
it should be removed to a place free
from odors as milk quickly absorbs
any odors.
The milk is then strained thru a
strainer having very fine mesh. The
place where the straining is done
should be free from dust and odors
and be perfectly clean.
Now comes the separation of milk,
which is the process of separating the
butter fat from the milk. A centri-
fugal separator is generally used for
this and works on the principle of
centrifugal force, which is an out
ward pull. The milk is poured into
large bowl which revolves several
thousand times per minute to get best
results and more even skimming.
The revolving tends to throw the heav-
ier portions toward the outside of the
bowl. The milk then, which is heav-
ier than cream escapes thru openings
in the outer edge of the bowl while
the cream is crowded to the center
and leaves thru a central outlet. A
separator worked right leaves very
little fat in the milk. The tempera-
ture at time of separation should be
about 80 degrees F. or animatl heat.
1t iaows more easily then, than when
colder. If the milk has become cooled
from staiding it should be reheated to
95 degrees F.
Now the cream snouid be quickly
cooled by putting in cans and submerged
in cold water in a tank, in a milk
room, which should always be kept
cool and will be if built of concrete !
or stone thruout.
The dairy is best built separate
from other buildings from which odor
might come. An abundance of water |
should always flow thru the milk room
as cool water is essential to the quick |
cooling of cream.
After the cream has been thorough I
ly cooled, to prevent quick souring,
it is ready to take to the creamery.

Cleanup Notice.

The time of the year is at hand
when the citizens of the town should
begin the work of cleaning back yards
and alleys of all Objectionable debris
which has collected during the winter
months.
All rubbish should either be burned
or hauled away. A small expenditure
in keeping back yards and alleys in a
presentable shape will in the long
run prove profitable. not only in pro-
noting healthful conditions but in
sending up the value of property itself.
1t is therefore desired that everyone
begin this work at once.
