FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION 119 



Utensils Must Be Cleaned Promptly 



It is not difficult to maintain the separator and all dairy 

 utensils in a clean condition, providing the work is properly 

 done. Dairymen should remember that milk and cream are val- 

 uable products from the farms ; hence reasonable care and judg- 

 ment should be exercised in their care. In washing the separa- 

 tor bowl and other utensils, it is a good plan to first rinse all 

 parts with clean cold water, then with a brush wash thoroughly 

 in hot water to which a little w^ashing powder has been added. 

 Then rinse with boiling water and allow each part to dry. 



The Final Word 



The future success of the dairy industry will in a large 

 measure depend upon the quality of the milk and cream deliv- 

 ered. No method has yet been discovered by which cream or 

 milk can be so treated as to deceive the consumer. In fact, the 

 consumer has a right to know whether the article is pure and 

 has not passed through a process of treatment to change as an 

 attempt to correct a defect, due to the carelessness on the part 

 of someone handling the article from the time that it was drawn 

 from the cow^ and until it reaches the consumer's table. Good 

 butter will stand on its own merit, and it can be produced in 

 every factory of the nation providing in its management the 

 same amount of care is exercised to control quality as is now 

 being put forth to increase the output. 



Dairymen, exercise greater care in the handling of the most 

 valuable product that leaves your farm. See to it that the fac- 

 tories are well-managed and placed in charge of well-trained, 

 experienced men, and pay them such salaries as will attract the 

 most skilled men of the country. The idea should not prevail 

 that a boy can leave the farm and in six months become a butter- 

 maker. High standards never fail."
