KEEP DAIRY UTENSILS CLEAN
Bacteria Increase in Astounding Num.
bers When Conditions Are Right
Must Be Kept Dry.
(Prepared by tha Untied RtnUn Department
ot Agriculture.)
Inlcause bnetorin increase in num
bers at shell an astounding rate when
conditions are favorable, it is neces
sary not only to kill ns many of them
as possible in order to keep dairy uten
sils clenn nnd Insure a good product;
but utensils must bo kept dry, so that
the fow organisms that nro.left after
sterilization will rot multiply greatly.
In nddltlon to tho proper temperature
Ml Dairy Utensils Should Be Thor
oughly Sterilized Before Use.
It Is necessary thnt moisture ho pres
ent for these germs to grow, but only
a very thin film of water Is needed.
It is particularly Important that
milk cans lie thoroughly dried und
kept dry until used ngnln, says tho
United States Department of Agricul
ture. In addition, thoy must be pro
tccted from contamination with dual,
other dirt nnd files. Experiments car
ried on by the department show that
In milk cans which were covered be
fore being dried tho number of bac
teria Increased 700 times In 24 hours.
An nvcrago of seven tests showed that
the count lncronscd from 1,111,514
to 775,751,429. Milk put into cans In
which the bacteria have been permit
ted to multiply to such an extent will
cans that were dried before being cov
ered. To securb rapid drying the cans
must be sterilized with steam or boil
ing wnter. If a sterilizer is used tho
cans may bo left in it until time for
them to be used again, but there must
bo some means of ventilation to carry
off the moisture. Cans may lie,got on
a rack to dry, but thoy should be pro
tected from flies' and dust, preferably
In a ivell-screened milk house.
Producing Clean Milk
Factors to bo observed In pro
ducing good clenn milk:
Clean, healthy cows in clean,
well lighted and well ventilate!
quarters.
Plenty of pure water Xor the
herd and mllkhouse.
Clenn utensils, thoroughly
washed, steamed and sunned.
Small-top milking pulls. Milk
with dry hands.
Removo milk from stable as
soon as drawn from each cow.
Have a separate mllkhouse for
handling milk nnd dairy utensils.
Cool milk to 50 degrees V. or
lower as soon ns drawn.
Keep milk at a low tempera
ture until delivered and deliver
regularly. G. K. Morton, Col
orado Dairy- Commissioner.

EXCELLENT CALF PEN HINTS

Calf pens aro preferably located
near tho south side of the bam and 'so
arranged that sunlight enters them.
Exercising yards to the south of the
barn connecting wltli the pens aro de
sirable In order tlint calves may bo
turned out for exerclso even on cold

from tho standpoint of durability and
cleanliness, but aro cold in winter un
less covered by nn abundance of dry

Beware of Moldy Silage.
In opening tho sllogo it is necessary
thnt all moldy silage be removed or
sllngo poisoning mny result and some
times it may cause death of live stock.
. Silage Not Balanced Feed.
Silage Is not n balanced ration. It
should always be supplemented by oth
er feeds.
Poor Feeding Practices.
Unwlso feeding practices will pro
duco bad results In feeding silugo
or molasses. A systematic study Indi
cates thnt the losses have been duo to
tho mnnner lu which silage Is fed or to
nn excess of dirt.
