Clean Milk 



and then replace it, not to be removed again 

 until the milk is delivered out of the farmer's 

 charge. This can be accomplished by clean- 

 ing the cans at the country receiving station, 

 sterilizing them, and delivering them to the 

 farmer, who may take them away covered 

 and keep them so until ready to fill them 

 with milk. 



It should be an invariable rule that milk 

 cans are to be used for no other purpose 

 than to contain milk on its way from the 

 dairy to the receiving station. 



The milking stool deserves a word. As 

 this is handled by the milker at least twice 

 for every cow milked, it follows that it 

 should be clean, and not in a condition to 

 defile the hands. Some farmers have recog- 

 nized this and regularly boil them.
