168 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
“The results of the examinations which we have made show 
that it is possible to keep the bacterial content down below 
50,000 per cubic centimeter and it would not be expecting too 
much to demand that no milk should be sold if it was found to 
contain more than this number.’’ 
The following table shows the bacteria counts from the milk 
produced at one of the Walker-Gordon farms during the first 
ten days of January while the cows were in winter conditions 
and during the first ten days of July while the cows were in 
summer conditions. ‘The highest number of bacteria found is 
3,200 while on more than half of the days the milk contained 
less than 1,000 bacteria per cubic centimeter.
