Ropy Milk 
T nni milking n rogistcred Ayrshire CoW, 
and we set her milk in the old-fashioned 
way. After the cream is taken from the 
milk there is a sediment in bottom of pan 
that appears stringy. The COW seems in 
the best of health, ('an you tell me what 
is the matter with this milk? We take 
tin very best of care of milk and cream. 
Monroe, N. Y. w. k. w. 
The difficulty which you are experienc¬ 
ing is that of ropy milk. It is most com¬ 
monly found in open vessels, where milk 
is kept at a low temperature for a long 
time. It begins to be observed within 
24 hours after milking; in some rare 
cases wit1 1 iu 12 hours. The milk is ot>* 
jei tionable because of its slimy, unpalat¬ 
able Appearance, but its use is not known 
tn be harmful. An appearance of ropy 
milk trouble bears no relation to the 
health of the cow. Laboratory study 
quite definitely shows that the germ is 
most commonly associated with water 
found in brooks, wells and stagnant pools. 
There is also conclusive proof that it is 
found in dust of stables, Cornell Experi¬ 
ment station, in a research extending over 
three years. Found that ropy milk bacteria 
multiply at a temperature lower than that 
reouired for cream ripening. 
Measures to prevent recurrence are 
cleanliness, use nf scalding water daily 
upon milking utensils and extra pre¬ 
cautions in regards to cows not being 
allowed to stand in stagnant pools and 
muddy yards. Water should n<>t be al¬ 
lowed to get into the milk, nor should 
milk pails be dipped in cold water after 
they have once been scalded, until after 
milking. Place all utensils upside down, 
so as ti> prevent accumulation of dust. 
Ropy milk does not appear in fresh 
milk, but increases with the age of the 
milk. I'liis distinguishes it from stringy 
or gargety milk, which is the product of 
a diseased or inflamed udder. This 
“siringiiiPSK** apmuirs as soon as the milk 
IS drawn from the udder, icpd tends to 
disappear with age. When gargety milk 
apnears. care must be given to the cow 
and ndrier. 
Xnte the distinctions between ropy and 
stringy milk. The One i s not related to 
the health of the animal. The latter is I 
directly caused by disease. Your trouble 
seems to be due to ropiness, and von. 
therefore, should check up o n the above 
oui lined methods of prevention.

Sore Throats and Dairy Milk Troubles 
(’an you tell u.s what is the troublp 
with our milk i Instead of having nice 
smooth cream on milk in the morning 
there is a regular crust. About six weeks 
ago the one washing the dishes was not 
particularly careful about scalding milk 
pails, etc., so three of us had sore throat 
at once: throats all covered with white 
spots, bm not real sick. Could that have 
come from the milk? Since then we have 
hern very careful about washing and 
scalding pails, etc. Cow’s tears are cov¬ 
ered with warts. Would scabs from 
these cause any trouble? Could there he 
some infection in stable, as we seem to 
have trouble with every cow after ?, year 
or so? She had plenty of nice grass'aud 
rye bran to eat. J’lie milk caused one uf 
the family to have sovert* cramps. We 
warn to get rid of the cow if the milk is 
going to make us all sick. MRS. k. s. 
New York. 
The trouble experienced in gettiug 
smooth cream is probably due to •juelean 
utensils. Temperature and atmospheric 
condition' might have affected your cream 
somewhat, but insufficient cleaning and 
sterilizing of utensils is the most com¬ 
mon cause of trouble of this naturp. 
So-called septic sore throat might be 
contracted from cows’ milk. This disease 
is din in c specific organism which i- as¬ 
sociated with inflammatory conditions of 
tlie udder. Small, stringy formations in 
the milk as it comes from the udder gen¬ 
erally indicate the presence of such an 
infection. Such milk should not be used 
for human consumption unless pasteur¬ 
ized or used in cooking. Warts ami scabs 
on the tents are no* usually associated 
with this sore thnat organism, (’racked 
or sore teats, however, might easily be the 
source of tin infection. I should by all 
means dispose of tin* cow if the trouble 
persisted after checking up the care of 
utensils, li would be advisable to disin¬ 
fect your stable. I’se a spray made up 
of a solution of one part bichloride of 
mercury in ."(Ml parts of water. <>r a car¬ 
bolic solution of one part carbolic tcveo- 
sol or lysol) to li() parts of water, or a 
solution made up of such commercial I 
lipyo-chlorito products, following individ¬ 
ual directions. A whitewash coating is 
liked by some people, and they add the 
disinfectant to the whitewash solution.
