Most ce the bacteria which gets into
milk comes from •utensils, such as
cans, pails, straincrs, coolers and sep-
arators, which have not been properly
cleaned. A dairy authority recom-
mends the following method for clean-
ing the utensils: First, rinse in luke-
warm water as soon after use as pos-
sible; second, wash in hot water con-
taining washing powder, which will
remove grease; third, rinse in ,clean,
hot water and place in live steam fif-
• teen seconds, drain and place right
side up until steam evaporates. Where
steam is not available sunning will
give effective results. Drying should
• not be done with a cloth, but by heat-
ing the utensils in steam or an oven
sufficiently to evaporate the moisture.
Fourth, invert a clean protected place
when dry.

Supervzsion of Stock Yards.
Stock raisers who have not been in
the habit of marketing stock for them-
selves or in co-operation with others,
need have no hesitation in submitting
their animals for sale on the.public
stock yards. Through the Dominion
Live Stock and Live Stock Products
Act, stock yards .are under govern-
ment control, which sees to it that
full justice is done to the sellers. The
system, which has been in operaeion
since 1917, has done much to inspire
-confidence in production as well as in
_marketing. It has not only promoted
a feeling of confidence` but has meeult-
ed in many stock raisers obtaining-
• a knowledge of the business of mar-
keting. Marketing at the public stock
yards is so regulated as to prevent
any form of extortion. Equal oppor-
tunities are provided for all, both in
purchase and sale, and disinterested
and timely information as to the live
etock market situation is constantly
being issued from the yards. The
facilities provided tend t� sofeguard
against abnormal market conditions,
by promoting intelligent distribution
and the encouragement of more
marketable types of live stock. Dur
Ing the course of the year covered by
the latest -annual report of the Hon.
W. R. Motherwell, Minister. of Agri
culture, approximately 865,000 cattle,
265,000 calves 800,000 hogs, 595,000
