Dairy Score Card. — The score card system of comparing 

 the cleanliness of dairy barns and the methods of handling the 

 product is of value not only for the direct purpose of com- 

 parison but to point out as well to the workers in the dairy 

 where to look for trouble. 



Various score cards have been devised, but the one that was 

 developed by the Federal Dairy Division and approved by 

 the Official Dairy Instructors' Association has been most widely 

 adopted. The score card from Kochester, New York, is typical 

 of the one in most general use (see pp. 276-277). 



Material vs. Method. — While the dairy score card has its 

 uses it must not be judged that a high scoring stable will pro- 

 duce high scoring milk, or that a low scoring stable necessar- 

 ily means low scoring milk. There is no relationship between 

 expensiveness of barn and quality of milk produced and very 

 little between score raid quality. This becomes true because the 

 methods employed are so much more important than the material. 



A silk garment may be soiled and a cotton one the acme of 

 cleanliness.
