under. There isn't one man in a thousand that keeps things clean. At 

 the factory you will find chunks o f dirt in the milk. We do not milk 

 right. You can get all the milk and all the strainers on earth and you 

 cannot make it first-class unless you begin at the beginning. 



Mr. Graham: I have been running a separator for ten years and 

 if Mr. Cohoon thinks there is so much dirt, I would like to have Mr. Cohoon 

 bring his milk to my place some time and I will run it through for him. 

 I will run it through and surprise him. He has no idea until he tries it 

 how much dirt will come out. 



Mr. Fox: In answering Mr. Cohoon's question, I will tell what a 

 woman told me. She lives in Mc Henry county. She said it took just a 

 week to make a dirty milker a good clean milker, and I tell it for Mr. 

 Cohoon's benefit. The way she did, her husband spoke to the hired man 

 about how he should milk the cows. He spoke to him again, but he 

 didn't pay any attention. He then said nothing more to him, but the last 

 cow that man milked^hq, would say to him, "You bring about two quarts 

 of that milk into the house." He took it in. This woman would strain 

 that milk in his presence, and the next morning skim that milk in his 

 presence, put it into the pitcher by itself, and turn that cream into that 

 man's coffee. In three days after they done that, that man was a clean 

 milker. 



Mr. Crosier: The separator takes out lots of dirt I know, but before- 

 it gets to the separator the milk absorbs a great amount of that dirt.* 



Mr. President: It certainly has, I should say. 



Mr. Harris: Cannot Mr. Cohoon ask something easier? 



Mr. Cohoon: We want the hls.rd question answered first.
