MILK STEAMERS COMPARED
Absorbent Cotton and Filter Cloth
More Effective Than Wire 0auze
Or Cheesecloth.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Clean milk depends primarily on
sanitary methods Of production, but
milk strainers as commonly used also
have a direct bearing on the quality
Of commercial milk. Certain kinds Of
strainers cause milk to appear clean,
but fail to remove all impurities. OF
all the milk filters In common use only
two-absorbent cotton and filter cloth
are reasonably efficient in actually
improving the commercial quality Of
milk. Even these filters must be kept
clean and changed frequently to in
sure satisfactory results.
According to reports from about
forty thousand farmers wire gauze
strainers are in more general use than
any other kind, but studies with the
microscope show plainly that the
meshes are much too large to hold
back any but the very coarse impuri-
ties. One thickness Of cheesecloth or
other cotton cloth is only slightly
more effective than q wire gauze
strainer. but when the cloth Is folded
to about eight thicknesses its ability
to remove dirt In milk increases some
what, but Is still inefficient as com
pared to absorbent cotton or filter
cloth.
Filter cloth. specially made cot
ton cloth, smooth on one side and
fuzzy" on the other. was found rea-
sonably effective. This cloth can be
obtained from leading dairy supply
houses. The milk should be poured on
the fuzzy side, the flbers Of which
stand up like the nap Of a carpet. and
remove all but q small percentage Of
the solid impurities. The most effec-
tive strainer Of all, however, accord
ing to the experiments, was q layer of
absorbent cotton placed between two
thicknesses Of cheesecloth.
