CARE OF MILK BY PATRONS. 



Cooling. — As fast as drawn the milk should 

 be strained and some system of cooling and 

 aerating applied to it. A cooler like the Star 

 cooler is very eilicient for this work. It can be 



purchased of any dairy 

 implement dealer. It 

 will cool the milk with- 

 in-a few degrees of the 

 temperature of the wa- 

 ter used and aerate at 

 the same time. 



Aerating. — When the 

 milk cannot be both 

 cooled and aerated it 

 can certainly be aerat- 

 ed, as that does not re- 

 quire water. When 

 aerating be careful that it is done in a good at- 

 mosphere, as it is possible to do the milk more 

 harm than good if the atmosphere is impure. 

 The general practice in locations that I am 

 f%:piiliar with is for patrons of creameries, con-
