Thinking of Bulk Handling Milk
In the summer of 1055, about 200
Ontario milk producers were em-
ploying the bulk method. of hand- I
ling their niilk. As this method has
been growing in importance in
the U.S. and now in Canada, the
information presented in a new
bulletin released by the'Befiartment
of Agricultural Economics,
may he of assistance in avoiding
some of the problems which are
involvdd in the introduction of such
a now system.
Bulk handling involves the use
of a large refrigerated storage
tank on the farm to keep the milk
until, it is collected by a tank truck
fOr'cielivery to the Milk Plant. Olin
of ,the main advantages of this
system is that milk can be very
rapidly cooled in bulk tanks, thus
quality is preserved at peak level.
Similarly this rapid cooling results
in less milk being rejected because
of ,high bacterial counts, This faca
for alone may he adequate to.-inake
bulk handling advantageous to
many farmers,
With, this superior type of cool-
ing storage, collection of milk may
be made every other day, or even
every three days. This results in
a greatly .reduced labour cost of
handling the milk, as well as re-
clueing wear on the milk truck.
There is less spillage of milk from
tank trucks than from cans and
measurements and sampling can be
more accurately • done with the
bulk method. The ' drudgery of
handling milk cans is also elimi-
nated in this method.
Installation Expensive
To off-set these advantages,
there are several disadvantages in
bulk handling of milk. Primarily
the cost of the refrigerated bulk
storage tank is about three to four
times that of a comparable can
cooling system.
In the installatkin of bulk hand-
ling equipment, there is usually
considerable expense involved in
remodelling the milk house to ac-
commodate the new equipMent.
The result is tnat bulk handling of
milk involvea a higher fixed or
capital cost than does the ,ordi-
nary can method.
When .bulk handling equipment is
installed, the milk cans and can
cooler may have to be sold at a
lo88; and it is frequently iripossible
to dispose of the other milk hand-
ling equipment. Once the size of
tank is selected, the volume of
milk which can be handled is limit-
ed to the capacity of the tank
There are two types of tank in
use, the lee bank type, and the
direct expansion type, Each has its
advantages and disadvantages. The
ice bank type has a reserve of ice
built l et all . tittles and is thus
loss Seriously affected by electrical
power failure. The direct expansion
type has no such reserve and when
In poor adjustment may freeze the
milk; however, this type requires
less space and can he made in
more convenient shape for clettn,,
Mg.
Need Consideration
Poor cooling is not . the only
cause of milk rejection, so • bulk
handling will not necessarily eli-
minate this problem, A point to be
kept in mind is- that before con-
verting to bulk methods, the far-
mer has a bargaining point -which-
may enable him to obtain advan-
tages in price, but once the conver-
sion is complete the bargaining
position is lost.
An. additional consideration in
the advisability of changing to bulk
handling of milk is thatn the money
Spent might be put to better use
in some other improvement on the
farm. One way of reducing the ex-
pense of the change-over is for
several farmers to go together and
place a large order, with the ac-
companying reduction in unit cost.
The decision to change .over to
this method of milk handling is
one which requires much thought
and investigation. Additional in-
formation to help make the best
decision for any given conditions
may be found in the circular, "Are
You Considering Bulk Milk Hand-
ling?", which is available from the
local agricultural representative's
office.

During National 4-H Club Weiat
newsworthy happenings take place
that are often not uncovered until
after the delegates have rctdrncd
home, This year for example, on
learning that the train from Win-
nipeg would be late arriving in
Toronto on Sunday morning, a
committee of 4-II members orga-
nized an informal church service,
Miss Clair. Gardner, of Alberta
presided and Scripture readings
were given by Brynne Rothwell, of
Saskatchewan and Dorothy Olson,
of Alberta, Several hymns were
sung and prayers offered by Bev-
erley Nicholson and Betty Ander-
son of Manitoba and British Co-
lumbia.
The service concluded with a
collection, totalling $18,51, which
was fprwarded to the Crippled
