ON COURT HOUSE LAWN

The right and wrong way OF milking
"bossie" IS demonstrated at 10 O'Clock
and o'clock daily in the Old Court
House cow shed. The value OF rapid
cooling OF milk is also shown.

bacterial counts for Fridays and sat
urday's milklngs, under the headings
Of Clean" and Dirty Each heading
is further sub-divided into Iced" and
Not Iced That clean methods and
cooling give results are well shown.
Thus the sample from Fridays clean
milk which was feed. gave a count of
5,iOO bacteria per cubic centimeter.
while the sample from the same milk
ing which was not iced, counted $1,000.
An even greater difference Is seen in
the counts resulting from the dirty
milking, the iced sample counting 1000
bacteria per cubic centimeier and the
un-iced sample 2i0OO0 On Saturday.
better results were obtained. The clean
iced sample counted only 200 bacteria
and the un-iced sample 1000. This is
extremely clean milk. The samples
from the dirty milking OF The same
day were 5000 and 5000 respectively.
