Many times the milker goes to his task after brushing horses or doing other dirty work, with his hands soiled and his clothing thickly covered with dust. Both soiled hands and dusty clothing are loaded with germs that injure milk. Before commencing to milk the milker should cleanse hl* hands and slip on a clean suit and cap, which are used for no other purpose, and which may be easily washed. He should always milk with dry hand* and never allow his hands to come in contact with the milk.—Missouri Dai ryman. The Queen Bee. n.cst valuable. convinced.
