All vessels and appliances which come into contact with the milk must be kept 

 in a clean condition.

 pochondriasis, Hydropsy, Garget, Mouth and Foot Disease, Pox, Diar- 

 rhoea or any and all fevers or diseases of any kind involving internal or 

 external medical treatment which in consequence may have unfavourable 

 effects on or cause damage to the quality of the milk; or
