Pointers for the Dairyman 



THE fertilizers in milk go to the cheese; 

 butter does not take it from the farm. 



Handle the heifer calves from the be- 

 ginning; it makes them gentle and easier to 

 break them to milking when they come fresh. 



Whitewash is a good thing in a cow barn 

 or dairy and costs but little time and money. 

 Spray the walls first with a strong solution of 

 carbolic acid (the commercial article) to put 

 the germs out of commission. 



Avoid having sharp corners and projecting 

 timbers in the cow barn, and make the 

 manure gutters smooth enough to be kept 

 clean easily. Use plenty of clean, sweet- 

 smelling straw for bedding; it will increase 

 the size of the manure pile and save the 

 ammonia. Change the bedding at least 

 once a day; twice" would be better. 



All utensils used in handling milk must be thoroughly 

 clean. Wash, scald and put out in the sun to dry 



The old saying " Cleanliness is next to 

 Godliness" is never truer than when applied 

 to the production of milk and butter. There 

 are no bacteria in the milk secreted in the 

 gland of a healthy cow, and the problem the 

 dairyman has to solve is how to get the milk 

 and butter to the consumer with as few germs 

 as possible. Absolute cleanliness in the care 

 of the barn, the cow, the milk, the dairy, and 

 the milk things must be practised in order 

 to have sanitary milk. Cool the milk as 

 quickly as possible. Bacteria are fond of 

 heat and damp and darkness, but they hate 

 sunshine and fresh air and boiling water. 

 The cows must be well brushed and rubbed 

 off before milking time and the milker's 

 hands and cloths clean. Plenty of scrubbing 

 with sal soda or soap, scalding with unlimited 

 boiling water, and sunning in the fresh air 

 will keep utensils clean and sweet.
