These cows produce over 200
quarts of milk daily for the young
sters to consume.
This milk Is preferred for babies
because It Is tested and found to
be much purer than the average
milk. The cows are free from tu
berculosis and contagious abortion.
The milk is examined dally under
a microscope and a count made of
all bacteria present. Kor the past
year the count has been less than
2,000 bacteria per cubic centime
ter. Ordinary milk for adults con
tains a much larger bacterial con
tent. The cltv of Lincoln requires
that milk left on the doorstep
must have less than 100,000 as a
bacterial content.
Every precaution is taken to
keep this milk clean and pure.
The cows are fed specially pre
pared foods that tend to give the
milk an agreeable flavor which
will suit the youngster's palate.
