Jasper County Democrat, Volume 10, Number 43, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 January 1908 — The Separator. [ARTICLE]

The Separator.

Recent German trials indicate that the separator removes from the milk and cream not only the dirt and slime which pass through the strainer, but the greater portion of the bacteria. As cows are usually cared for and handled there are always some dirt and dandruff from the cow’s udder that get into the milk. These cannot always be caught in a strainer, but if it passes through it is included with the slime which remains in the separator bowl. The German trials indicate that most of the bacteria remain with It.
