CARE OF See also:

MILK Remove the milk of every cow at once from the cow-See also:house to a clean dry See also:room, where the See also:air is pure and sweet. Do not allow cans to remain in the cow-house while they are being filled with milk. See also:Strain the milk through a See also:metal See also:gauze and a See also:flannel See also:cloth or layer of See also:cotton as soon as it is See also:drawn. Cool the milk as soon as strained-to 45° F. if the milk is for shipment, or to 6o° if for See also:home use or delivery to a factory. Never See also:close a can containing warm milk. If the See also:cover is -See also:left off the can, a piece of cloth or See also:mosquito netting should be used to keep out See also:insects. If milk is stored, it should be kept in tanks of fresh See also:cold See also:water (renewed as often as the temperature increases to any material extent), in a clean, dry, cold room. Unless it is desired to remove cream, it should be stirred with a See also:tin stirrer often enough to prevent the forming of a thick cream layer. Keep the See also:night milk under shelter so that See also:rain cannot get into the cans. In warm See also:weather keep it in a tank of fresh cold water. Never mix fresh warm milk with that which has been cooled. Do not allow the milk to freeze.

In no circumstances should anything be added to milk to prevent its souring. Cleanliness and cold are the only preventives needed. All milk should be in See also:

good See also:condition when delivered at a creamery or a cheesery. This may make it necessary to deliver twice a See also:day during the hottest weather. When cans are hauled far they should be full, and carried in a See also:spring waggon. In hot weather cover the cans, when moved in a waggon, with a clean wet blanket or See also:canvas.
