NEW YORK MILK COMMITTEE 23 



(a producer of Certified Milk) and a member of the Milk 

 Dealers Committee with large experience in the sale of milk ; 

 both of whom are on the Executive Committee of the Board 

 of Directors, the company has begun its work. The manager 

 is Mr. H. B. Winters who can be addressed at 30 Church St.

SOME OF THE REQUIREMENTS NOW IN OPERATION. 



In testing the cattle by the State Board of Agriculture the 

 suroundings and care of the cattle must be conducted as they 

 direct, all reacting animals being removed. 



Further, all utensils that are used in the gathering, han- 

 dling, and carrying of the milk at the creamery, must be left 

 at the creamery to be washed and sterilized. 



The farmers have been wondering what further require- 

 ments, besides testing their cows and milking in certified pails, 

 would be required of them by our Sanitary Expert. 



One farmer who has 53 head offered his herd and farm 

 and allowed the Demonstration Co. to test and score. The 

 President of the company with its Sanitary expert and man- 

 ager, attended the investigation. The accuracy of the tuber- 

 culin test was proved in every instance. The examination of 

 the organs showed the presence of tuberculosis, although 

 the general appearance gave nothing to indicate its pres- 

 ence. The farmer was game, said he felt repaid and was ready 

 to go on, for he had a tuberculin tested herd. Other farmers 

 followed his example and are anxiously waiting to have their 

 farms scored and cattle tested, ready to meet the requirements 

 of the New York Dairy Demonstration Co. for the advance of 

 one cent per quart which adds about &5 per cent to their in- 

 come over the old way, besides the satisfaction of owning and 

 operating a farm that is practical and up-to-date. 



Let us repeat: 



Milk from tuberculin tested cows is taken in covered pails 

 and cans which are washed and sterilized at the creamery in 

 the country. 



If any other milk is received it is also milked into covered 

 pails and under the same sanitary control, but is immedi- 

 ately scientifically pasteurized, in a holding tank pasteurizer, 

 and labeled pasteurized, at the creamery in the country.
