People's Pilot, Volume 3, Number 36, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 February 1894 — STERILIZING MILK. [ARTICLE]

STERILIZING MILK.

This is a process of destroying the injurious germs which the milk may contain. This is accomplished by placing it in bottles and submerging them in water which is heated to a temperature of not less than 50 nor more than 55 degrees Fah. The bottles are then removed from the heat, kept closely covered for half an hour, when all the germs are destroyed. Sterilization should always be resorted to when children are raised upon cows milk.
