with hardly appreciable additional labor 

 and expense. If keeping the cows free of 

 manure and boiling his utensils be an added 

 labor, they are practically offset by the sim- 

 plification of his routine, as the covering of 

 the can immediately relieves him of much 

 other care and trouble. 



It is expected that objections will be made 

 to this plan on the score of " animal odor " 

 and animal heat. The animal odor bugaboo 

 should have been banished long ago, and it 

 is high time that dairy farmers learn that 

 the so-called " cowy odor " is due to manure,

 demonstrated.

 when at body temperature, and differs in no

 the bacteria, which entered with the dirt, to 

 grow and ferment the milk.
