The above chart shows that even with the 
advantages of extremely cold weather in the 
winter months, the mixed milk of all farmers at 
the receiving station contained many millions of 
bacteria, but during March and April although 
the weather and snring-water were growing warmer, 
these farmers, by the adoption of sanitary methods, 
reduced the bacteria in the mixed milk at the ship- 
ping station to less than 50,000.
