A: — Yes sir., certainly. 



Q: — If that worked it would deteriorate the milk in time? 



A: — Yes sir. 



By the President: — That is a, very simple matter to remedy. I 

 would rather have your milk come to my factory that was simply 

 areated. Get the pure air into your milk. It is a good deal better to have 

 it cooled at the same time. Set it in a tub and stir it up. As you 1 milk 

 one can and bring it in and then milk another can and bring that in, 

 why stir the first one again. It will give you your ! skim milk in proper 

 shape. You can trace it back to he farm every time. 



Q: — It seems to me that when that milk is taken in the summer time 

 to the factory and the sun shines ol those cans and glazes the milk over 

 that the skim milk from that would not be worth very much for calf 

 feeding. 



By the President: — The heat in the summer antf the long distance, 

 that seems to me;a simple matter to get over. I think if the farmers on a 

 route where the hauling is done would get together and talk this over 

 rationally, I think you could remedy conditions. 



Q: — When you speak of areatlrg milk, you touch a vital pare? 



A: — I am satisfied of that. 



Q: — The way I made my cooler was to take an ordinary pail with little 

 holes around the edges inside of the pail. The bottom of the pail is sus- 

 pended above the milk can 8 or 10 inches. The milk is strained and 

 poured in above and it runs down into the can in very small streams, 

 all the time the air is going around these little holes and it took out the 

 animal heat. When you take out the animal heat that milk will keep 

 without cooling from 12 to 24 hours longer than if you simply take and 

 strain your milk right into the can. By areating it in this simple way, 

 which any one can do and it won't cost over 35 or 40 cents, and your 

 milk willi be brought to the creamery in much better condition and it 

 will keep from 12 to 24 hours longer than milk not areated.
