As this meth od has been. growing in import- ance in the U.S. and now' in Can.- acla, --the in:formatioa presented in - a new bulletin. released, by the De- partment of Agriicultulral Econ- omics, Ontario Agricultural Col- lege may be of assistance in avoid - hg some of the problems which are ineolved in the introduction of such a new system. Bulk, handlin-g involves .the use. of a arge refrigerated storage -tank on the farm to keep the milk until it is collected by a tank .trunk for delivery to the - milk plant. One of the main advantages of this system is that milk can be very rapidly cooled in buels -hies, thus dialog is eseservedd at peak level. Similarly this rapid cooling restilts Iess milk ,being rejected because of high ,bacterial counts. This fac- tor alone mayshesadequate to -make hulk handling advantageous_ to rpa iy farmers. Vitt this_ superior =type of cool- inxg and storage, collection of milk may .he made every- other .day, or even every three days. This re- sults in a greatly reduced labor cost of hauling the milk, as- well as reducing wear en the_, milk truck. There is less spillage of milk from tank trucks than from cans and measurement and sampl- ing can be more accurately done with the bulk method. The drudg- ery of handling milk cans is also eliminated in this method. To off -set these advantages, there are several disadvantages in bulk handling of milk. Primarily the cost of the refrigerated bulk stor- age tank is a ut three to four times that i a comparable can cooling syst This takes into account the fat that in order to accommodat less frequent collec- tion of milk, the bulk tank must have about twice the capacity,,of the can cooler. In the installation of bulk handl- ing equipment, there is usually considerable expense involved in remodelling the milk house to accommodate the new equipment. The result is that bulk handling of milk involves a higher fixed or capital, cost than does the ordinary can method. When bt ik handling equipment is installed, the milk cans and can cooler may have to be sold at a loss, and- it is frequently impos- sible to dispose of the other milk handling equipment. Also the size of tank is selected, the volume of milk which can be handled is limited to the capacity cf the -tank entailed.. There are two types of tank in 1k �. th-e 44,P bank 1-yp€a, acct -the direct expansion type. Each, has advantages and disadvantages. The ire hank type has a reserve of ice built up al all times and is thus less seriously affected by elec- trical power failure_ , The direct expansion type, has •mo such ice reserve and when in poor adjust- ment may freeze the milk; how- ever, this type requires less space and can be made in a more con- venient shaPe for cleaning Poor cooiing, is not the only cause of milk rejection, so bulk handling will not necessarily elim inate this problem. A point to be kept in mind is that before converting to hulk methods, the farmer has a bargaining point whisk" may enable him to obtain advantages in price, but once the conversion is complete the bar- gaining position is lost. An additional eonsid•eratipn in the advisability of changing to hulk handling of milk is that the money spent might be put to bet ter use in some other improvement on the farm. (}ne way of reduc- ing the expense of the c+ha.nge- over is for several farmers to go together and place a large order, with the accompanying reduction in unit east. . The decision to change over to this method. of milkhandling is one which requires much thought and investigation. Additional formation to help make the bust decision for any given conditions may be found in the cit ular "Are You Considering t>tlk - 'Milk Handling," which is available from the Iota' Agri/aural Represents tive'.i, office.
