H E M IS T A K E of purchasing cheap
u ten sils is too o ften m ade. The
cheapest m ean s of im proving the
o u tp u t of th e d a iry is th e purchase of
good utensils. Cheap utensils are poor­
ly tin n ed , and th e seam s an d crevices
n o t thoroughly flushed w ith solder.
E v e ry artic le th a t (?oraes in co n tact
w ith m ilk or cream should be rinsed
w ith cold or lukew arm w a te r before be­
ing washed. The w ashing is to be done
by b rushing th e su rface of each article
w ith hot w a te r co n tain in g w ashing pow ­
der. C loths are not as good as brushes
f o r cleaning tin w a re or any utensil with
sq u a re corners, because th e y will n ot
reach in to th e corners and crevices. A
good w ashing pow der fo r m ilk utensils
m ay be m ade by m ixing sal soda and
sa le ra tu s (sodium b ic a rb o n a te ). I t is
n ot necessary th a t the w ashing com ­
pound form a suds. T here are a num ­
b er of compounds p ut ^ n the* m ark et
b y d airy supply houses th a t are espe­
cially com pounded fo r w ashing d airy
u tensils. Soap is likely to form a th in
film over th e su rface o f th e utensil, and
unless thoroughly rinsed o ff before
scalding, m ay dry on. No utensil should
b e considered clean u n til i t has been
brushed. No am ount o f sloshing or
w h irlin g in th e wash w a te r will th o r ­
oughly rem ove th e th in film o f m ilk
th a t adheres to th e surface.
T
Scald T horoughly.
I n w ashing the se p ara to r, th e bowl
p a r ts and tin w are m ay be p u t in th e
supply can, covered w ith cold or lu k e­
w arm w ater, an d allow ed to d rain off.
T he p a rts m ay th en be ta k e n out,
w ashed in hot w ater, re tu rn e d to the
supply can, rinsed an d th en scalded.
The se p a ra to r should be w ashed and
scalded a f te r each run. I f no hot w ater
is availab le, i t should be w ashed w ith
cold w a te r a f te r one run, a n d a f te r th e
second ru n thoroughly w ashed and
scalded.
The m ost thorough scalding is done
w ith liv e steam . B oiling w a te r is s a t ­
isfa c to ry if the te m p e ra tu re can be
m a in ta in e d long enough to accom plish
ste rilizatio n . The chief b e n e fit derived
from pouring scalding w a te r on th e
u ten sils is th a t th e utensil is heated and
dries quickly. B a cteria do n ot th riv e
in dry surroundings, and care should
bo ta k e n to keep th e utensils dry when
n ot in use. I f. the uten sil becom es dusty
b efore using, i t should be rin sed w ith
