£77ie DAIRY, t CLEAN AND COOLMOTTO FOR MILK The two greatest causes of high bacterial counts in milk are unclean utensils and delayed cooling, says W. i E. Ayres of the New York State ColI lege of Agriculture. Even a moderate- ' ly careful dairyman may have clean utensils, for milk cans or milk pails may contain bacterial lodging places so concealed that the user fails to see them; or his method of washing may be incomplete. To prevent giving germs a home, j the cans should have no open seams or cracks. Such places retaining milk material and moisture form snug harbors for millions of bacteria; and the i growth which occurs here between j milkings will wash into and contaminate th# next warm milk that reaches it. All such pockets should be smoothly closed with solder. Immediately after using, milk utensils should be rinsed in cool or hike- | warm water, and then thoroughly : washed in a solution of washing I powder and hot water, using sufficient powder to readily dissolve any I greasy material. A brush cleans more j effectively than a cloth, and permits 1 using hotter water. ! When washed, the utensils should ! be rinsed and scalded with boiling | water and put in a clean airy placewhere they will drain and dry quickly. It is better not to wipe them, for I the wiping cloth may be a source of J contamination. The strainer pad. which serves for ; one milking only, is superior to the I strainer cloth, which often forms a | place for germs to gather. If the ■ strainer cloth must be used, it should ■be thoroughly washed and rapidly dried immediately after each use. , Milk cans are so rapidly passed through the washer at the milk plant that often they are neither clean nor dry when returned to the owner. Such cans should be well rinsed as soon as they reach the farm and inverted on racks at an angle which will permit them to drain and dry. A foul can may add great numbers of bacteria • to the milk. ■ Delayed cooling is one of the major j causes of high bacterial counts. 4'or ' the average dairyman a simple, wellI insulated tank of ice water deep ! enough for the water to reach the Lnecks of the cans, is most satisfacI tory. If the can is set in the water | as the first milk is strained in, and ; the milk is stirred as each succeeding. . pailful is added, little difficulty i should be experienced in" meeting the ; cooling requirements of city ordinances or of state codes. Any temperature above 50 degrees Fahrenheit allows bacteria to increase. Enouglj ice j should be used so that large pieces ' are always present in the tank. Little if any more ice is needed to keep ! the tank cold than to cool it after the ‘ temperature has been permitted to i rise. Proper insulation and a good | cover, of course, aid in maintaining : low temperature, and these are paid i for by the saving in ice. One Good Cow Sometimes Worth Dozen Old Scrubs Analysis of more than 100,000 yearly individual records from cows on test in dairy herd improvement associations indicates that, on the average,, cows that produced 100 pounds of butterfat a year returned sl4 each over cost of feed; those that produced 20O> pounds, $54 over cost of feed; 300 pounds, $96; 400 pounds. $l3B, and 500-pound cows returned $l7B over cost of feed. Thus the man milking a 500-pound producer would have more return than if he milked a dozen 100pound cows, and this would take no account of the added labor of milking and caring for the larger herd or of the much greater expense of providing: stable room for a herd Instead of a single animal. The figures from returns are based on farm prices fromall parts of the country, Including whole-milk districts. Long-Tested Herds Are Always Most Profitable The dairyman who is enrolled in a cow-testing association profits most after three years of testing, according to J. H. Brock of the University of Illinois. Farmers who have had their herds tested for three years made $25.56 more above feed costs fineach cow in their herds than those with only a one-year check on their animals. Even farmers whose herds had been tested for* two years pocketed $10.61 more per cow above feed costs than those whose cows had been tested only one year. Mr. Brock advises consistent testing and says that no herd is too small to be entered in a herd improvement association. Feeding Young Stock Young lairy stock coming in off of pasture in the fall should be provided an open shed for shelter and given all the roughage they will eaL A little grain may be fed also to get a& much growth as possible on a heifer before she has her first calf. The roughage may be all the alfalfa hay they will eat. a combination of sbme hay with about 15 pounds of silage per head, some alfalfa and some prairie y. or shredded corn fodder and alfalfa hay. Feeding Salt Probabl” the bed way of feeding I salt to dairy .cows is t? mix it with , the ground feed so that cows will get a regular supply. The Wisconsin station recommends that three-quarters of *an ounce daily for each 1,000 pounds live weight for maintenance and three-fifths of an ounce additional for each twenty pounds of niilk produced. With a good average herd this will mean slightly over an ounce of salt daily for each cow that is in average pr«»<lii<-tion.
