CHAPTER XIII 



CARE AND USE OF DAIRY UTENSILS 



IN dealing with utensils it is always more econo- 

 mical to use the "best." There are many firms 

 in the Union dealing with dairy requisites who are 

 only too willing to furnish illustrated catalogues 

 showing their goods at reasonable prices, so that 

 there is no need for using middling or out of date 

 utensils. 



Buckets. 



To the average farmer or dairyman it may seem 

 absurd to talk about the care and use of buckets, 

 for every one knows, or thinks he knows, all about 

 this. All efforts to produce clean milk and cream, 

 that will remain sweet for a fair length of time, are 

 wasted if the milk-buckets and cream-cans are not 

 washed and scalded every day. 



After use, the buckets should be rinsed out with 

 cold water to clean the inside thoroughly, and then 

 washed in boiling hot water. After this they should 

 be put in the sun to dry where there is no dust, or 

 where they cannot be knocked over. Tin ware 

 should never be wiped dry always use boiling 

 water and sunshine.
