REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT BACTERIOLOGIST. 25 
In response to the offer made by Director Clinton at the 
State Dairymen’s meeting last winter, the Station has received 
a number of requests to have farmsinspected. Fight dairymen 
have availed themselves of the offer, and these farms have been 
visited and such suggestions given as seemed advisable. Some 
work has been done to determine the effect of the centrifugal 
separator upon the germ content and keeping qualities of milk. 
Another line of work which has been carried on is the testing 
for bacterial content and dirt contamination of the milk of a 
number of milkmen as it wasdelivered to the consumer. Con- 
siderable study has been given during the past few months to 
stable conditions as affecting the quality of milk. This work 
is not yet completed, but the results obtained thus far will soon 
be published by the Station in bulletin form. 
Respectfully submitted,
