portant factor in this business the
small incandescent bulb is specially
desirable. 1t gives a clear, white
light, with no dirt, smoke or SCOT,
and does not radiate a great amount
of heat as do other forms of arti-
fetal illumination. This last item
is an important one, as the dairy
must be cool to prevent the milk
and cream from souring.
The electric current for power
purposes is fast being adopted in
modern diaries. The refrigerator
plant, the churn for making butter,
the bottle washer are all operated
with the aid of the electric motor.
The same source of power is used
in motors for handling the hay, cut
ting the ensilage, chopping straw,
oats and other feed. In fact, all the
hard work about the modern dairy
can be done by electric motors.
Another application of electricity
in the dairy is the vacuum cleaner
for cleansing and currying the COWS.
Successful experiments are also be-
ing made with view of pasteuriz-
ing or sterilizing milk by electric
itv.

ELECTRICITY IN THE DAIRY
MnLKS THE COWS AND CLEANSES
AND CURRIES THEM, TOO.
Electric Light and Power Have Done
Much to Simplify and Purify
This Great Industry.


Milk and it by-products, butter,
cheese, etc, rank third in the great
products of this country Annually
it totals a valuation of nearly $780,
100000, and is distanced only by
our mighty corn crop and the sale
of food animals on the hoof. OF such
vital Importance in our everyday
lives it is not strange that every
thing is being done to keep the
sources of milk supply Of the best
and to guard against every contami-
mating influence from the time the
milking is done until it's consumption
in one form or another.
Milk, cream, butter, cheese, all are
very susceptible to contamination.
They are easily infected with dan
gerous germs, and the slightest fault
robs them of their market value.
The first step in purifying our milk
supply was the cleansing of the foul
and dirty stables and the banishing
of hand milking. The stables were
soon made modern and up to date
and strict laws keep them so. The
milking machine came and was pro-
nounced a practical success, remov-
ing one of the greatest drudgeries of
the farm and making it quite impos-
CT mil n inf
during the milking process. This
machine will milk four COWS at the
same time and far quicker than one
could be MIXED by hand. 1t operates
on the suction principle, which is the
natural way, and the necessary
vacuum is produced by a small mo-
tor operating a vacuum pump. Elec-
tricity is best for this work because
it is the safest power for use around
the barns and it is easily controlled.
The turning of a small switch starts
or stops the motor-driven vacuum
pump.
In the modern dairy, where the
milking is easily and quickly done
by machinery, the milk is deposited
in tightly closed cans, safe from the
germs floating in the stable air, and
carried to a cool milk room, where
it is sterilized for shipment or run
directly through the motor-driven
separator and the cream removed.
This cream is ripened by an artificial
process and can soon be churned
and worked up into butter when it
is stored in refrigerators.
Very few up to date dairies there
are nowadays not equipped for cleo
trio lights. AS cleanliness is an i'm
