Show Clean Barn for Milk Cow, The stnblo in which the cow Uvea, and particularly that In which the milking Is done, should be kept In as clean a condition as possible. The habit of removing the cows to a separate sep-arate room Is one which Is undoubtedly undoubt-edly very useful In reducing the chance of bacterial contamination. It Is deslrnble that In the place where all manure and barnyard refuse Is placed should be removed as far as may be from the milking stall, and no stagnant water should be allowed near the barn. Manure Is not only a source of bacteria, but it Is a great breeding place for flies, which are also al-so a great nuisance; one fly falling Into the milk pall has been known to be capable of introducing 200,000 bacteria bac-teria in milk. |
