CHAPTER VII 
EQUIPMENT 
EXPENSIVE or fancy apparatus is not neces- 
sary for producing clean milk. The rank and 
file of dairy farmers can do good work with simple 
and cheap equipment. There are three primary 
dairy operations for which such utensils are re- 
quired; namely, for milking, for cooling, and for 
sterilizing. 
EQUIPMENT FOR MILKING 
Brush and Wash Pail 
Brushes such as are used on horses, and when 
necessary a curry comb, should be used to clean 
cows. Milk pails should not be used for wash 
pails. There should be a separate wash pail for 
washing cows. 
Wash Cloths 
Burlap makes a good wash cloth, because it is 
strong and coarse. Fine white cheese cloth or 
white towelling is best for wiping udders dry.
