CAN DEPEND ON DAIRY COWS
Reservation Of Milk Is as Essential as
ProductIon--keep Out All Dis
ease Germs.

The dairy COW will be called upon
to yield her maximum share of the
worlds food supply during the COM
Ing months of war. She can be de-,
pended upon for production, but pres
ervation of the milk is mans part. The
value of milk is dependent upon the
care it receives after it is drawn from
the COW. Consequently preservation is
as essential as production. Milk is
dangerous as human food II 1t con-
tains disease germs or worthless If 1t
is so loaded with bacteria that Its COM
pick food nutrients are partly decom-
posed. It is equally valueless to the
producer and distributor If 1t sours be-
fore 1t can be put to use.
To prevent the entrance Of disease
germs into milk, healthy, tuberculin-
tested cows free from any udder In,
flammation or garget are the first es-
sentials. Healthy men, and pure wa,
ter from protected well or spring are
of second importance. Clean utensils,
covered pals and clean cows come
next.
Keeping milk sweet is entirely
matter of cleanliness and temperature
regulation. Cows free from manure and
dirt especially in the region of the I'D
der and TANKS; utensils that are care
fully cleansed, scalded and dried; and
careful protection of the milk from
flies and dirt after production, will
prevent the entrance of bacteria into
milk.
Milk is soured by bacterial develop
ment and multiplication. Bacteria can
not reproduce fast enough to sour milk
in "a hours If 1t is kept below tenn
perature of So degrees Fahrenheit.
Therefore, milk should be cooled as
soon after production as possible. The
easiest and most practical plan Of
cooling is to sink the cans to the level
of the milk In a tub or running spring
of cold water and to stir the milk fire.
quently for five or ten minutes until
cool. It should be held at or below
IS degrees Fahrenheit If possible until
used.
The FIVE essentials for production
of first grade milk, as given by Percy
Werner, Jr. of the Missouri college Of
agriculture, are: /. Healthy cows and
men; 2. Clean cows and mems Clean
cans and pals; 4. Covered milking
pals; 5. Cooling milk to 55 degrees
Fahrenheit or below within an hour af-
ter production and holding it as low
as possible until delivered.
