But that dream, built up lor dairy cows by a lot of elaborate designers de-signers of fine barns, is dissipated by experts of the United States department depart-ment of agriculture in a bulletin entitled en-titled "The Four Essential Factors in the Production of Milk of Low Bacterial Bac-terial Count." It gives the results of a series of experiments in which milk of low bacterial count was produced In an experimental ba'rn under conditions similar to those on the average low-grade low-grade farm. The three essential factors fac-tors were found to be: Sterilized utensils, cleaife-cows, small-top pails. A fourth factor necessary to keep the couiit low is holding the milk at a temperature of 50 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. All of these factors, It Is pointed out, may be operative in . an ordinary barn just as much as in the "marble hall" type. |
