Clean Milk 



and, in addition, the installation of a steril- 

 izer, which at most is not a heavy expendi- 

 ture, and in a pinch could be built by the 

 dealer's employees. 



It is hardly expected that cans will be 

 thoroughly cleaned while the farmer waits 

 for them. A double set is required, but this 

 provision is frequently of itself an econ- 

 omy, and numerous dealers have already 

 adopted it. 



Once the cans are emptied of milk they 

 should be rinsed in cold water to prevent 

 coagulation of the milk remaining in the 

 can and also to remove as much as possible 

 of this milk. Then they should be scrubbed 

 in hot water, to which has been added a sol- 

 vent, and finally rinsed in clean hot water. 

 They are then ready to be put upside down 

 in the sterilizer, and, after sterilization and 

 drying, covered, and the cans stored in racks 

 ready for the farmers to secure them on the 

 following morning.
