Improvement of a Dairy 



30,000 bacteria per c.c, and aside from the 

 satisfaction he felt in such a good record, 

 the farmer was free to admit that under his 

 new system the milking went more expe- 

 ditiously. 



It is to be noted in connection with the 

 improvement of this dairy that the changes 

 required a very small expenditure, and these 

 changes once made would be effective for a 

 long period of time. The whitewash, sheath- 

 ing paper for the ceiling, the green shades, 

 the new utensils, and the building of a milk 

 room did not cost much for the material, 

 while the work was done by the farmer him- 

 self. In return for it the farmer had trans- 

 formed his dairy so that it became a show 

 place in the community, he had improved 

 the stabling accommodations for the herd, 

 he had a new system of operations which 

 was more convenient and more rapid than 

 his former one, and he had equipped himself 

 to produce a superior grade of milk.
