buttermilk back home, the university
bacteriologist says a tremendous for
ward step would be taken against
moldy butter. Coupled with these
precautions the watts of cream should
be pasteurized and the pipes and
pumps through which the cream pass
es should be washed and sterilized
daily. Tubs in which the butter is
packed should be cleaned with steam
and paraffin and lined with treated
liners and circles. By treating" is
meant boiling them in saturated salt
brine solution or soaking in forma-
lin solution.
Moldy butter is costing creameries
if the country many thousands of dol
lars. One small Minnesota creamery
which ships about 35 tubs a week was
responsible for a loss of more than
$1,000 because its butter was ex-
tremely moldy when it reached the
market.
