that there is as much importance in that matter as some of our dairy- 

 men think there is, 



Mr. Jones — I am just beginning in the dairy business, and want to 

 get right at the start, I have been milking twenty cows. In regard 

 to separating the milk, it does not seem practical to me to separate it as 

 quickly as you suggest. I don't want to begin separating until I am 

 through milking, because I would have to stop the separator to finish 

 the milking; I try to do it as quickly as I can after I get through, but 

 where you have a great many cows to milk it takes time to get around 

 to it. 



Mr. Webster — Of course, that would depend upon your circum- 

 stances as to how quickly you do it, and upon how much help you have ; 

 but it is the principle I am trying to emphasize — do it just as quickly 

 as possible. The quicker the better the results. 



Mr. Miller — Will the department at Washington furnish bulletins 

 to those interested in dairying ? 



Mr. Webster — Yes; just drop a line to the Dairy Division, stating 

 what you want in the way of information, and the bulletin will be sent 

 to you. 



Mr. Miller — Do you send a number to one person, or send to each 

 person, when a list is sent in? 



Mr. Webster — If you will send in the names and addresses, plainly 

 written, the bulletin will be sent to each person named. We send to 

 each person individually, because in coming direct from the department 

 it is given a personal touch, and will be given more attention, as a rule. 



Mr. Bruns — Speaking about milking with dry hands — I always 

 brush the udder off clean and then put tallow or vaseline on my hands. 

 Is there any injury in that? I don't like to milk with dry hands. 



Mr. Webster — No. Just so the dirt don't stick to your hands and 

 you have the udder thoroughly clean before milking.
