ducers simple homemade sterilizer
costing not more than SIS, which if
used on the farm will help guard the
milk against this initial and serious
contamination. How great bearing
sterilization of milk utensils on the
farm has on the bacterial content
OF milk is shown by expert
ments which have proved that the
average milk can, when washed in the
ordinary way, may contain over eight
billion bacteria, and that almost every
milk can so treated harbors millions
Of bacteria which give high bacterial
count and hasten the souring of milk.
The homemade sterilizer for dairy
utensils which is to be demonstrated
uses steam as sterilizing agent. All
that is required to develop steam
enough to sterillze the ordinary dairy
utensils Is two-burner kerosene stove,
and there Is nothing about the device
which calls for special skill in its eff
fective use. The department has
twenty of these sterilizers, described
in Farmers Bulletin 74S, and has Of
fered to supply an outfit for two
weeks demonstration to any local
health or dairy official who will agree
to show 1t In operation to the milk pro-
ducers in his section.
The effectiveness of this sterilizer
has been fully proved both in the labo-
ratory and ON the farm. In one ex-
pertinent ten gallons of fresh milk
were divided into two parts. Five gal
Ions, passed through separator into a
tive-gallon can, both utensils washed
in the ordinary way, showed at the
end of an hsur 1,SS0,00o bacteria per
cubic centimcter The other five GAL
Ions, passed through separator into
can, after both utensils had been
washed and sterilized by means of the
homemade sterilizer, showed only "a, :
900 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
The device. moreover, removes foul
odors and leaves the utensils dry as
wen as sterilized. Experience shows
that the bacterial count is thus nate
rally reduced, while the producer finds
that his milk does not sour so quickly
and has an improved flavor.
The specialists of the dairy division
are hopeful that the device, wherever
1t Is demonstrated, win come into com
mon use. 1t is believed that this ster.
ilizer win find ready adoption among
small dairymen because of its low cost
OF construction and operation, and be
cause its use viii tend 10 improve ths
quality and increase the keeping char
acter of the milk.
