Rules for Clean Milking Contest. 



1. These prizes are open for contest to women, girls and boys who live 

 or work upon farms which keep three or more cows, and the owners of 

 which are practical farmers superintending their own dairies and gaining 

 their principal livelihood from the farm. All contestants must be of either 

 the regular or emergency milking force on the farm. Decisions of the 

 Dairy Bureau as to eligibility shall be final. 



2. All entries must be made on or before June 30, 1918. 



3. Dairies shall be visited at times most convenient to the agents, but 

 all samples will be taken, as far as possible, during the months of July and 

 August. No advance notice will be given of the day the sample is to be 

 taken. Owners of dairies will be communicated with by telephone, or 

 otherwise, on the day the samples are to be taken. Milking must not be 

 begun until after the agent arrives. No impractical method and no recep- 

 tacles other than those in everyday use by the contestant in milking will 

 be allowed. In case of change of help the new employee, if of proper age, 

 may be substituted by the owner. 



4. A sample of hand-drawn, unstrained, mixed milk from three cows 

 will be taken and tested for sediment.
