After examining the milk in el,
the tank, the bulk tank driver
records the dip-stick reading
and starts the agitator. The id-
entification label for the, sample
vial is attached properly and the
milk graded. The milk in the
farm bulk tank must be agitated
five minutes, or longer if nec-
essary, to mix the- milk thor-
oughly before the sample is tak-
en. Using a sanitary straw, a
one-ounce sample of milk is
taken and placed in the vial.
The vial should be placed in
the sample case immediately.
As milk samples must be
kept between 32 degrees F. and
40 degrees F. until transferred
to the official composite sample
bottle or until they reach the
Regional Health laboratories
for quality testing, a special case
for carrying milk samples has
been introduced. This special •
carrying case is well insulated
and uses ice and water as the
cooling • medium-. The samples
are held upright in a floating
tray and the ice water surrounds
that part of the sample vial con-
taining the milk to be tested.
The bulk tank driver delivers
the samples to the plant to which •
he delivers his load of milk.
The samples are then transferred
to the official composite sample
bottles with the cooperation of
the plant •milk grader, unlest
the sample is to be• used for
checking milk quantity. If this
is the case, the sample is re-
frigerated until picked up and
transported to the regional Health
Laboratory by Milk Commission
personnel.
The Commission is res-
ponsible for supertftsing the
sampling of milk in Ontario. By
checking the condition of samples
as they arrive at their destina-
tion, feiewlhdeterh n arete 4aabraleptteos. hdat in
had proper care. Bulk tank haul-
ers who have a record of disreg-
arding recommended procedures
in collecting and transporting
samples are. required to appear
before the Milk Commission and
state reasons why the,,Ir certifi-
cate should pot be cancelled.
Many improvements have
been made in milk sampling pro-
cedures and in caring for samples
during transportation. The Milk
Commission will continue to
make improvements as field ob-
servations and studies establish
them.
The sampling of milk requires
the serious attention and co-
operation of the transporter, pro-
ducer and processor, as well
as those to whom the responsib-
ility for supervision has been
delegated.

BY J. C. Palmer, Director
Milk Commission of Ontario
New problems in milk samp-
lings have arisen with the instal-
lation 'of bulk tanks for the stor-
age of milk on the farm. The
economic aspects of the prob-
lem 'make it of general concern
to the dairy industry and of
particular concern to those res-
ponsible for supervision of milk
sampling.
Before the introduction of the
bulk tank, milk was delivered
in cans to the processing plant
where it was dumped. Dumping
the milk provided a means, how-
ever imperfect, of mixing prior
to sampling. The representative.
sample of each producer's milk
was added to a composite bottle
for testing at the end of the
period of collection.
In bulk tank milk, the iden-
tity of the product is lost when
the milk is pumped into the
transport tank. It is, therefore,
necessary to sample the pro-
ducer's milk before pipping it
'into the tanker. This sample mist
be truly representative of the
producer's milk. Samples that
are improperly collected.. or
transported are of no value for
testing. As the producer is paid
on the basis of this tested sam-
ple, he and the processor have an
interest in this sample being
representative. '
Sampling of milk is required
at, each pickup. The bulk milk
hauler is responsible for col-
lection of samples and must hold
a certificate„ofqualification from
the Milk CommiisiOn. This cert-
ificate is obtained on successful
completion' Of a- course in mirk
grading and sampling, and can
be cancelled for justifiable reas-
ons.
Legal standards and proced-
ures for the collection of milk
samples are set forth inStandard
Methods and A.0, A.C. If IS nec-
essary to follow established
guidelines in sampling to be sure
that the sample is representattY9
and that it reaches the labora-
tory with no change in its chein-
lical, physical, or bacteriological
