DON'T LET MILK SPOIL

Whole milk. skim milk. and butter.

able foods.

/ Keep milk continuously clean. cold
and covered. This injunction applies
equally 10 the producer. the whole.

Unclean milk sent from the farm

milk safer.
Milk. 10 keep properly. should never
Get warmer than 50 degrees +. until

perature the better The milk will keep.
Bacteria-such as those which
cause milk TO sour-develop very
slowly and cause little change in milk
kept at such low temperatures.
A slight rise in temperature. even
for a short time. permits these bac-
terra to multiply rapidly and bring
about rapid deterioration OF the milk.
which may render it unfit for ord
nary use.
Don't leave your milk bottles on
OF porch or doorstep. A short ex-
posture in the sun or a warm place
hastens The spelling even of cold, bot

your premises.
Don't leave milk bottles or }sels
in a warm room for a moment longer
than is necessary.
Never pour milk. which has beeu
exposed 70 the air, back into a bottle
containing other milk. Keep such
milk cold and covered in another
clean utensil.
Milk. when warm Is an ideal cul,
tural medium for bacteria. Keep milk
clean. You can keep it clean only by
keeping it covered so that the bacteria

Keep your milk bottles covered o.
with caps or by placing glasses over .
them. Keep them covered in the re.
frigerator and in the kitchen or dining
room.
Never pour milk into an unsterile .
bowl or pitcher. Scald all vessels in .
TO which milk ia poured for keeping .
or serving. Cool these utensils after
scalding, before you put milk into
them.
Before you open bottle Of milk,
wash and wipe the outside of the cap
