H. Treatment and Handling of Milk. 



Far more care than at present should be 

 bestowed upon the actual handling of our 

 milk. A large proportion of the infant 

 mortality in our towns is due to the bad 

 quality of the milk supplied. Far too large 

 a proportion of the milk produced in this 

 country goes into butter making. With 

 organization much more of it should be 

 available for the milk consumers in town and 

 country, and also for making cheese. Milk 

 turned into cheese pays the farmer nearly 

 twice as much per gallon as milk turned into 

 butter.
