known that the method of tasting
the milk employed by this man was to
dip the spoon into the can and then
put it TO his mouth, then put the same
spoon into the next can. IL will be seen
how certain was the infection of every
can of milk passed on by him.
TRACE DISEASE TO PADDLE.
From a model farm in Connecticut,
where thousands of dollars had been
spent upon the latest appliances, the
milk was sent to the surrounding
towns. Much to the owners surprise
and disgust, in spite of his finely bred
COWS and elaborate care given them,
complaints were frequent as to the I'M
desirability OF the milk, owing to the
impossibility Of keeping Il sweet. II
would turn sour within few hours at-
ter delivery. After striving in vain to
remedy this state of things, a renown-
ed scientist was sent for. He care
fully inspected the COW sheds. water
supply and all the dairy appliances,
questioning closely as 10 the care each
received. Were the tins sCalded each
day." etc. Finally a wooden paddle,
used for stirring the milk in order to
hasten the process of cooling after be-
/ ing drawn from the COWS, was exam
ined microscopically, and there was
found the primary cause of all the
trouble, as It was literally swarming
with bacteria. OF course the warm
: milk was at once inoculated, so TO
speak When the paddle, too, was sub
! jected to a daily bath in boiling water,
all complaints ceased.
How careful are many housewives
that their milk, fish, butter and other
easily tainted foods are kept from con-
tamination in the ice chest! But it's
like the tardily locked stable door so
far as milk is concerned, in many
cases, for too often in the past has 1t
come to the consumer unfit for use be-
cause OF the uncleanly surroundings
previous to its delivery
CONSUMER Is IN CONTROL.
First, last and always it is the con-
sumner that controls the production.
The fact is not always recognized. In
the various milk conferences held, the
voice of the consumer is seldom heard
If it were heard, it might be better for
the milk supply. for the consuming pub
lie is, after all, the important force.
An educated, enlightened public de-
handing clean, safe milk would be a
power for the improvement of the milk
supply Legislation, whether 1t is
state, federal or municipal, can never
be fully effective unless there is back
of it an enlightened public sentiment
demanding its enforcement.

The dirt in milk is proved by the
number of bacteria per cubic cent?
meter Cthe cubic centimeter equals 10
drops or about half thimblefuN, and
the dirt gets into the milk in the hrst
place through the careless methods
used in its production, where barns.
COWS and stables were not clean. Nei-
Their were the mixers nor the utensils
in which the milk was drawn AMI
strained. Particles of cattle feed, OF
wood. of clothing, flies and other in
sects and cows hairs are found in the
suainers through which this dirty milk
is strained.
II Is in the dirt that the danger lies,
when this milk is not at once brought
down TO a very low temperature, for
warm milk is an ideal field for the
growth of the bacteria. Even clean
milk may develop numbers Of bacteria
if it is not properly cooled and kept
cool The growth of bacteria increases
rapidly after milking; that is why our
clean dairies cool the milk instantly,
and pack it in ice to prevent this bac-
terial growth.
BUY ONLY CLEAN MILK.
It will be seen by these facts why
the housewife should buy a clean milk
! first, and then why she should keep it
clean and cold once 1t has reached
her home. A clean grade of milk,
Known as certified milk" has been
kept On ice sweet for As days. CDR.
