CARE AND USE OF DAIRY UTENSILS 153 



the sun where there is no dust, or turn them 

 upside down on a rack so that they may air 

 properly. Wash them again with hot water before 

 use, and never wipe them dry with a cloth. 



Avoid bringing whey or skim-milk back to the 

 farm in cream or milk cans, and don't use them on 

 the farm for anything else but for sending away 

 milk or cream. 



Never use soap in dairy work, but the occasional 

 use of a cleaning powder such as " Wyandotte " 

 (which can be had from your creamery) is not bad 

 and can be used safely, but all traces of it must be 

 washed out of the cans before putting milk and 

 cream in. 



Never use boiling water on a cream or milk can 

 or bucket until it has first been washed clean with 

 ordinary warm water. Boiling water causes the 

 cream or milk to " stick," and should only be used 

 after the cans are washed with a brush and water.
