squares of cotton to throw over the churn and 

 worker when not in use. These keep the dust 

 and flies from settling on them. 



Lime is used freely in Danish creameries 

 and dairies to clean and sweeten wooden utensils, 

 and is gaining favor in this country. After 

 scrubbing the utensils with hot water, while the 

 wood is yet warm, cover the surface with a thick 

 lime-wash and let them stand for a while, then 

 wash off well. It is not to be recommended every 

 time of using, as it hardens the wood too much. 



Applied in the same way, lime has no superior 

 for removing oil or grease from floors. 



If the churn be washed occasionally with lime 

 water it will keep it from getting an offensive smell. 

 Lime takes the place of washing soda. It cleanses 

 better and is cheaper. Patrons of creameries are 

 recommended to use it instead of soda in washing 

 their milk vessels.
