64 CLEAN MILKING 



immense damage to milk from the bacteria which 

 grow in the old milk remaining in the machine. 

 It is a serious business to clean a milking ma- 

 chine properly. It must be taken entirely apart 

 twice daily, brushed with soda solution and ster- 

 ilized with one of the chlor- 

 ine sterilizing liquids. For 

 a large herd, the machine is 

 a much greater economy 

 than for a small herd. Dairy- 

 men with small herds make 

 better milk with covered 

 pails and hand milking. 



STEP NO. 5. STRAINING 

 MILK 



Clean milk needs no 

 straining. Clean milk leaves 

 no dirt on the strainer cloth. 

 The cleanest dairymen use- 

 no strainers. Clean diary- 

 men believe that strainers are needed only for 

 dirty milk.
