MILK STRAINING IMPORTANT
Utensils and Strainer Cloths Should
Be Thoroughly Washed and
Then Sterilized.
,
I (Prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Strainer cloths containing 35,000,000
| bacteria per square inch have been
i found In use on dairy farms.
The average strainer cloth, of which
about 36 square inches is in contact
J with the milk, is likely to contain fully
a billion bacteria If it is not washed
| and sterilized after each milking.
If the cloth Is folded, the number of
bacteria Is likely to be still greater.
Milk produced under conditions
I where utensils were not sterile wns
found to contain more than 666,000
bacteria per cubic centimeter.
When all utensils were sterilized,
the average bacterial count was only
about 31.000 per cubic centimeter or
I less than one-twentieth as many.
Bacteria In milk are not necessarily
injurious to health, but they reduce Its
keeping quality. Certain kinds of bac
teria, if too numerous, also affect its
palatability. For the production of
clean milk the department of agricul
ture urges strict sanitation In every
dairy operation.
Utensils and strainer cloths should
be thoroughly washed with warm
water and washing powder, then
rinsed in clean water and ster
ilized by boiling or steaming for
five minutes. After sterilization, the
utensils, including palls, cans, strain-
ers, and strainer cloths, should be

Practically every farmers' organiza
tion of the county—Grange, the Soci

Guernsey Men, the Holstein Cattle
club—is co-operating in the better-bull
campaign.
What In reality amounts to a farm
bureau—a committee made up of a
representative from each township and
with the county agent as managing di
rector—is directly responsible for the
county's drive to repinee the grade and
scrub bulls with good pure breds.
“To keep its lead In dairying arid
live stock raising Wisconsin must dis
card Its scrub sires," said the executive
committee of county agents and repre
sentatives of all of the state's cattle
breeders’ associations.
“Count on Door county to help," said
this live live-stock committee. "Al
though somewhat off to one side, the
Door peninsula is still on our map, and
we are going to stay there. In one of
our townships, which happens to be an
island six miles out in Lake Michi
gan, each man contracted more than a
year ago to use only purebred bulls
and every one agreed to stay by bnt
one breed."
And by means of this same kind of
teamwork the other townships of the
county are promising to follow suit
"The entire county is going to wage
war on the scrub—only upon a much
more extensive scale." The county
agent spoke as If he represented men
who meant business.
"The committee Is out to give their
county a reputation for the production
of as high-class cattle as It already has
for Montmorency and Early Richmond
cherries.”
