more than one-third of the patrons
who own a machine really knaws how
to handle it successfully,' From what
I myself have seen of'milking ma-
chines, as operated on the average
dairy farm, l: would say that in nine
eases out of ten the methods used
could be easily improved and the
quality of the, milk very considerably
raised,
In days gone by every farmer and
his good wife told you that the milk
produced on their farm was always
clean. But p,long came the sediment
tester, ai.d we found that much of
the so-called clean mills was really
very dirty milk, when it reached the
test room. Those little eaten discs
showed up the milk, and cony/fixed the
farmer that at was time to'turn over
a new leaf, and that he really must
clean up and keep clean. This is a
simple test - and one that 'is easily
understood. Every factory should
make sediment tests of their patrons'
mills every once in' a while and the
discs obtained should be returned to
them on mailing cards. Baeteriologi-
cal tests are more complicated and not
so easily understood by the average
farmer, but to one who has a knowl-
edge of the subject, they yield infor-
mation regarding the quality of milk
that can be gotten in no other way.
Clean milk is produced from clean
and healthy bows and sanitary stables
by healthy and `clean employes; ;it
must be handled in clean employes;
of
suitable material and construction and
in a satisfactory 'sanitary ma:~lner
from the moment it leaves° the, udder
of the cow. No farmer who fails; sys
tematically and regularly to wash his
'milking machine can hope to produce
clean milk, although he live up to all
the' other essentials, because the'new
milk' is quickly contamir. atecl with
germs which lurk in every corner of–
a dirty machine. No farmer who
leaves the rubber tubes and teat -cups

teeming with bacteria can produce

Let us turn to the question and see'
what we can learn abanr, the sanitary
problems of the milking machine: In
the first place let us consider the rub t
-fiber teat -cups • and tubing through
which the' milk has to pass in all the t
machines, with one exception, that.are- G
on the market. Owing to the porosity h
of its structure, we find that rubber, m

produce this change its germicidal
properties have gone and it must be
thrown away and a new solution made.
The: metal parts of theneilking ma-
chine should be thoroughly clean
and scalded each time after the m
chine has been used, and then plat
in a place where they will be ke
clean until -needed again. The teat
cups and tubing should be fitted on th
machine and well rinsed out befor
and after use every time; warm .ate
should be used for rinsing befor
milking to remove all traces of th
chloride of lime; warm water an
washing powder .should be need firs
after milking and then hot water, put
ting the -tubes in the sterilizing solu-
tion.
All teat -cups should be taken apart
at least once a weak and given a thor-
ough scrubbing with hot water and
washing powder, and the tubing must
be well washed outwith the brushes
provided as well. They should then
be rinsed in hot water before:putting
together and returning to the chloride
of lime.: If this can. be done `twice a
week so much the better, but it must
be done at least once a week if satis-
factory results are to be obtained.,
A.point that i soften` overlooked is
the necessity of having the teat -cups
and rubber "'tubing completely immers-
ed in the-- chloride of lime solution; a
sufficiently•large container and a suf-
ficient quantity of the< solution must
be used, as We do'.not get the required
results if these parts, as we often see
them, are'stickingiup out.of the solu-
tion into the air.. -We must be careful
to, see that the solution fills the tubing
and' net, as we find iti sonie cases,
where the ends dip into it but the
centre of the tube remains filed, with
