CHAPTER VII 

 EQUIPMENT 



EXPENSIVE or fancy apparatus is not neces- 

 sary for producing clean milk. The rank and 

 file of dairy farmers can do good work with simple 

 and cheap equipment. There are three primary 

 dairy operations for which such utensils are re- 

 quired; namely, for milking, for cooling, and for 

 sterilizing. 



EQUIPMENT FOfc MILKING 



Brush and Wash Pail 



Brushes such as are used on horses, and when 

 necessary a curry comb, should be used to clean 

 cows. Milk pails should not be used for wash 

 pails. There should be a separate wash pail for 

 washing cows. 



Wash Cloths 



Burlap makes a good wash cloth, because it is 

 strong and coarse. Fine white cheese cloth or 

 white towelling is best for wiping udders dry.
