114 THE DAIRYMAN 



by anyone who is sufficiently interested, to actually 

 put into practice in an ordinary dairy the simple 

 sanitary precautions previously outlined, that the 

 figures can be accepted as not due in any way to 

 accident or to any error of the laboratory but to 

 correctly represent the facts. It is certainly true 

 that a dairy farm producing milk containing 

 millions of bacteria can in a single day at prac- 

 tically no expense change its methods so that 

 the milk produced at the next milking will contain 

 less than 10,000 bacteria per cc. All of this is 

 because the factor which exceeds all others put 

 together in importance is the dairyman himself.
