BY 0. O. -SIMPSON.
THE MISTAKE of purchasing cheap
utensils is too often made. The
cheapest means of improving the
output of the dairy is the purchase of
good utensils. Cheap utensils are poor
ly tinned, and the seams and crevices
not thoroughly flushed with solder.
Evorv article that comes in contact
with milk or cream should be rinsed
with cold or lukewarm water before be
ing washed. The washing is to be done
1y brushipg the surface of each article
with hot water containing washing pow
der. Cloths are not as good as brushes
for cleaning tinware or any utensil with
square corners, because they will not
reach into the comers and crevices. A
good washing powder for milk utensils
may be made by mixing sal soda and
salerntus (sodium bicarbonate). It is
not necessary- that the washing com
pound form a suds. There are a num
ber of compounds put on the 'market
by dairy supply houses that are espe
cially compounded for washing dairy
utensils. Soap is likely to form a thin
film over the surface of the utensil, a ncfj
unless thoroughly rinsed off before
scalding, may dry on. No utensil should
be considered clean until it has been
brushed. No amount of sloshing or
whirling in the wash water will thor
oughly remove the thin film of milk
that adheres to the surface.
Scald Thoroughly.
In washing the separator, the bowl
parts and tinware may be put in the
Bupply can, covered with cold or luke
warm water, and allowed to drain off.
The parts may then be taken out,
washed in hot water, returned to' the
supply can, rinsed and then scalded.
The separator should be washed and
scalded after each run. If no hot water
is available, it should be washed with
cold water after one run, and after the
second run thoroughly washed and
scalded.
The most thorough scalding is done
with live steam. Boiling water is sat
isfactory if . the temperature can be
maintained long enough to accomplish
sterilization. The chief benefit derived
from pouring' scalding water on the
utonsils is that the utensil is heated and
dries quickly. Bacteria do not thrive
in dry surroundings, and care should
bo taken to keep the utensils dry when
not in use. If the utensil becomes dusty
before using, it should be rinsed with
pure water.
Summary.
Brush the cow aud sponge off flanks
and udder before milking.
Use small top paiL
Do not feed strongly flavored feeds
till after milking is completed.
Do not feed hay or other dusty feeds
till after milking.
Bemove milk from barn immediate
ly after milking.
Cool milk to 50 degrees F., or below,
as soon after milking as possible. Where
cream is to be sold, separate as soon
as possible after milking, and cool the
cream to SO degrees F., or below,
Cool down cream before mixing with
cream already cooled.
If cans are set in tanks of cold water
, tor cooling, stir frequently.
Keep cans in cold water till de
livered. Keep Cans Covered.
Separate cream, testing from 35 to 40
per cent Such cream will keep better
than thinner cream, besides .leaving
more skirt milk at home for feeding, and
lessening the expense charges on a given
amount of fat.
Keep the cream cans covered after
ream is cooled.
When eream is hauled any distance
-fa the sun, keep covered with blanket
r burlap saturated in water.
Deliver eream often, not loss than
three times a week in summer and
twice a week in winter.
t Im washing utensiia, first rnse ihem
in lukewarm water or cold water, then
brash them thoroughly in hot water
to which hat been added some good
washing powder, and, last of all, steril
ize by pouring boiling water over them,
Glandere Vaccine Is Not Effective
Department of Agriculture Experts Announce Result of Experi
ments on Seventeen Horses.
THAT GLANDERS vaccine is not
effective in rendering horses im
mune from this dangerous disease
is the conclusion reached by specialists
of the Bureau of Animal Industry, V.
9. Department of Agriculture, as a re
sult of extensive experiments with
horses and other animals. The experi
ments show that while mallein is high
ly effective as a means to discover-.the
presence of glanders in a horse, neither
mallein nor glanders vaccine lias snown
any positive value in curing animals
sick with glanders.
In the experiments 17 horses were
used. These were stabled under such
conditions that vaccinated and un-
vaccinated horses could be brought into
contact with a good discharging ease
of slanders. Mallein and eye tests were
UBed carefully to determine the results.
Besults Obtained Told.
The results obtained by these in
vestigations appear to be sufficient to
demonstrate the unsatisfactory results
of this method of immunization.
Of the 13 immunized animals, 9 con
tracted the disease from natural ex
posure, which is a large proportion when
it is considered that all animals were
aged and kept most of the time during
the exposure out of doors.
Of the four remaining immunized
horses, one died of impaction after the
second vaccination, while the other
three animals were killed August 20,
1913, in order to ascertain by post mor
tem examination the possibility of glan
ders existing in tnese animals which
had given positive serum reaction, but
which had returned to nomaL.

or better, by holding over live steam.
Use utensils that ere well tinned, and
in which the seams and corners are
flushed and smoothly rounded with
solder.
In artificial infections of the vacci
nated animals they showed no resist
ance whatsoever, as both vaccinated
horses promptly developed an acute
form of the disease from touching the
Schneiderian membrane with a plati
num loop which had been touched to
a growth of glanders bacilli.
"Refrain," " Advice.
For the present, therefore, it seems
advisable to abstain from immunizing
horses by this method, as a practice
of' this kind may do more harm than
good.
Owners having horses which are sup
posedly immunized would naturally be
come careless, thinking their animals
were resistant to the disease, and thus
even a better opportunity would be of
fcred for the propagation of the disease
than if the horses were not vaccinated.
Furthermore, the fact that the blood of
vaccinated animals can not be utilized
for serum tests for two or three months
after the injections is also a great die
advantage in the eradication of the dis
ease.
As a . result of this preliminary work
it appears that the control and eradiea
tion of glanders must still be depend
ent upon the concentration of our ef
forts in eliminating infected horses and
the adoption of proper precautions
against the introduction of infected ani
mals into stables free from the disease.
The results achieved in Germany, Aus
tria and Canada by these methods have
proved very encouraging, and no doubt
if executed in the same spirit m tnis
country a marked reduction in the tnieM
of glanders would result.
