The most prevalent one is to thor-
oughly clean the machine in the Ordi-
nary way and then immerse the teat
cup and milker tubes into some chemi-
cal solution, usually strong brine made
by adding two pounds.of salt to a gal-
lon of water. The brine is keptsterile
by adding hydroc:hloi:ide solutions or
chloride' of lime.
Another accepted method of keep-
ing machines clean is to im;netee the
milking tubes and teat cups in hot'
water at a temperature of 160 to 130
degrees : F. There is no doubt blit
