RESULTS 



The reduction in the bacteria in the mixed milk 

 of all of the 28 farmers is shown by the chart 

 below. 



The above chart shows that even with the 

 advantages of extremely cold weather in the 

 winter months, the mixed milk of all farmers at 

 the receiving station contained many millions of 

 bacteria, but during March and April although 

 the weather and spring- water were growing warmer, 

 these farmers, by the adoption of sanitary methods, 

 reduced the bacteria in the mixed milk at the ship- 

 ping station to less than 50,000.
