DAIRYING 133 



27. Throw away (but not on the floor 



better in the gutter) the first few 

 streams from each teat ; this milk is 

 very watery and of little value, but it 

 may injure the rest. 



28. If in any milking a part of the milk is 



bloody or stringy or unnatural in ap- 

 pearance, the whole mess should be 

 rejected. 



29. Milk with dry hands ; never allow the 



hands to come in contact with the 

 milk. 



30. Do not allow dogs, cats, or loafers to be 



around at milking times. 



31. If any accident occurs by which a pail 



full or partly full of milk becomes 

 dirty, do not try to remedy this by 

 straining, but reject all this milk and 

 rinse the pail. 



32. Weigh and record the milk given by 



each cow, and take a sample morning 

 and night, at least once a week, for 

 testing by the fat test.
