CARING FOR CANS.
Thorough Washing and Sterlll-
cation Is Necessary.
DIFFICULT Job FOR farmer
Dairy Division of Department of Agrl.
culture Points Out Advantages OF
Having This Work Performed
by Dealers.

fF'rom the United States Department OF
Agriculture.)
In justice to the farmer, milk dealers
should give considerable attention to
the question Of washing the cans be-
fore they are returned. If the cans
are allowed to go back unwashed to
the farmer, it is very difficulty task
for him, with his limited facilities, to
clean them.
In a circular letter recently sent to
milk dealers by the dairy division OF
the department, it was pointed out
that bacterial counts made from cans
which had been washed and rinsed In
the ordinary manner showed that there
were from 100000 to 100000 bac'
terra in each can, with an average OF
100000. If 10 gallons Of milk were
nut into one of these cans there would
be added more than 100 bacteria to
each cubic centimeter of the milk.
That Is to say, this is the least num-
Der that would be added. Whereas, 1t
was pointed out, with a little steam
ing these same cans could have been
rendered practically sterile.
Bacterial Counts.
One dealer who recently installed a
modern washing machine employed q
bacteriologist to test the results. It
was found that less than 100000 bac-
terra were In can, and among them
were no undesirable types. Bacterial
counts Of cans treated by less eff
cient steaming device which this deal
er had formerly employed ran as high
as 100000 bacteria to the can, In
Guiding some undesirable kinds.
There are a number of different
types Of cleaning machines on the
market. The aim of all the efficient
ones. however, is the thorough clean
sing with washing powder and water,
rinsing, sterilization with steam, and
rapid drying. After this the can should
be covered and kept from contamina-
ton.
One Of the simplest of the machines
is a Jet device, by means Of which
SPRAYS of cold and hot water and of
steam are successfully forced into the
can. This type also is equipped some
times with a drying attachment by
means of which O draft of dry air is
forced into the can. Another type is
the brush machine, in which cans are
brushed out with washing powder and
water and then rinseG. After washing
they may be steamed by a spray Of
steam.
Some of the largest machines are
fitted with powerful pumps, the cans
in an inverted position being run
through the machine and sprays Of
soap and water, rinse water, hot wa
ter. and steam successfully forced into
them under considerable pressure.
They are then dried in the same ma
chine.
Drying Is Important.
The drying Of the cans IS an import
ant factor, for 1t not only leaves them
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-04-26

in a much better condition, but 1t tends
to prevent rust. The cover also must
not be neglected. 1t is as important
that it be as thoroughly cleansed and
sterilized as the can itself. 1t can I'm.
til the latter is quite dry. In the in
terval the can should be kept in O
clean place where there is no dust o,
contamination.
On the farm, cans, pals, and other
utensils may be sterilized very efficient
ly with an inexpensive sterilizer which
is fully described in Farmers Bulletin
748. This bulletin may be obtained up
on application to the department.

DAIRY PRODUCTS IN DEMAND
Only Way New Districts Can Be Sup
piled Is by Breeding Up Herd
by Use of Good Bulls.

The great demand for dairy prod
ucts has caused the price of good dairy
cows to be very high. Reports from
associations of dairymen show that
1t Is impossible to buy first-class dairy
cows at even $50 a head. With such
a demand for cows in old dairy dis
tricts, there will be few good cows
moved into new dairy territory. So
the only way new districts can be sup.
piled must be by breeding up the com
mon stock by the use Of good dairy
bred bulls.

LESS IMPORTATION OF SEED
About One-Half of Alfalfa and Grim

Fiscal Year 1856.

Only about one-half as much alfalfa
seed and less than one-half as much
crimson clover seed were imported dur

either of the two previous years.
Less than 10000 pounds of hairy

Nothing will do more to economize
the labor of filling corn land and to
prolong the good effects Of tillage than
the presence Of an ample quantity Of
humus in the soil, says Farmers Bull
letin 729, Of the u. s. department OF
agriculture, which deals with corn cul-
ture In the Southeastern states. All
land, the bulletin points out, intended
for the profitable cultivation Of corn
should be stocked with humus as soon
as possible. This can be accomplished
by growing as preparatory crops le-
gumes such as cowpeas. velvet beans,
vetch, the clovers and beggarweed. By
the use Of such crops and the incer-
poration through this means of vege-
table matter, the capacity Of the soil
to hold moisture is much increased
and, in addition, part or all Of the
nitrogen necessary for the corn is OBJ

Telesphore Bousquet of Rutland Injured
By Hot Metal.

Rutland, July ls.--Telesphore Bous'
quet of 81 Killington avenue, moulder
in the Howe Scale company's works, was
seriously and possibly fatally burned by
hot metal in the foundry of the scale
works yesterday afternoon at 2:30
o'clock The injured man was taken to
the Rutland hospital, where it was said
that he had a chance of recovery, al
though the extent of the burns is not
definitely known.
Mr.. Bousquet was leaving what is
known as the "big bull' with small
hand bull" of molten metal when, in
some manner he stumbled and fell, the
metal from the ladle running onto his
face, left hand, left side and hip before
he could be rescued by fellow employees.
Mr.. Bousquet was burned at the foun-
dry only a few weeks ago, when hot
metal struck one foot. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Bousquet was assisting in the
pouring off" process and he was walking
from the furnace to a mold when he
either stumbled or slipped and fell.
A burn by hot metal is often very Sc
rious and such burns are liable to grow
deeper. Mr.. Bousquet is about 4s years
of age and he has mother and father,
two brothers and several children.
