The system of handling milk at the dairy appeared to me to be excellent. The only human contact with the milk is at the point where the receiver smells (not tastes) it for acidity and pours it into a pipe connecting with the mixing tank which is in an enclosed room. The bacterial results obtained by Professor Prescott for the month of May were placed at my disposal and indicate exceptionally good conditions from the standpoint of cleanliness. The mixed milk showed once 300,000 bacteria and once 200,000 with all the rest below the latter figure. Two thirds of the farm samples examined were below 50,000 and half below 10,000.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
