BLACKLEG IN CATTLE Blackleg in cattle ig a highly infectious and contagious disease gharacterized by its sudden on- set, rapid spread and high rate ef mortality. Kk is observed most frequently in young cattle

ebserved in ali parts. of the pro- vince. STORING MILK

Mechanical Refrigeration—Milk ean be cooled satisfactorily in ten-gallon cans, set in a tank of 35 degrees F. water when the water is circulated around the eans. The milk temperature will be reduced from 95 degrees F.

to 50 degrees F. or slightly be- low in one hour, and to 42 de- grees in two hours. Stirring the

milk does not materially speed me

the cooling by this method.

By means of a surface cooler, using tap or well water in the upper half of the cooler and eith- er refrigerated brine or water in the lower portion, milk can be cooled to a temperature of 40 de- grees F. or below. A “direct ex- pansion”’ cooler, using water én the upper half and gas refrig- erant in the lower half, may also be used with similar results.

Cooling with Water—With a surface cooler, using water at 50 degrees F. as the cooling me- dium entering the bottom of the cooler and leaVing the top, the cooled milk in the can will be only a few degrees above the temperature of the cooling water. With a normal flow of milk over the cooler about 4 or 5 gallons water for each gallon milk must

pass through the cooler. Experiments with cooling a can of milk submerged to the neck in a tub of water, with water at 54 degrees F. flowing into the bottom of the tub and leaving

required to cool it te 60 degrees F. Do not use this method of cooling.

Abserption of Oders—Milk ab- sorbs odors readily. Keep the

‘}milk away from the odors of

gasoline, unclean barns, musty cellars, and strong-flavored fruits and vegetables. Strong-flavored feed should be fed after milk-

Cevered Cans — Cover cooled cans of milk with clean lids in order to keep out dust and in- sects and to avoid absorption of odors. The lids should be left on the cans when the milk is being cooled in cold water tanks. ELECTRIC REFRIGERATOR The most urgent need in the butter industry is more efficient cooling and storing of cream on the farm.

On specialized dairy farms it should be possible to use mod- ern types of cream coolers and the problem should not be dif- ficult to solve. The object should be to cool the cream to below SO degrees F., preferably to 40 degrees F., and to protect the cream against contamination and objectionable odors until it is shipped to the creamery. But a large percentage of the cream used in butter manufacture is produced on farms where dairy-

yeasty flavor may develop. In very old cream, a definite moldy flavor may develop.

HOW TO CLEAN

How should the separator parts be washed, sterilized and stored? 1. Remove material deposited on the inside of the bowl. 2. Rinse all parts with cold or lukewarm water. 3. Wash all parts thor- oughly, using warm water con- taining cleaner. Use a good brush Do not use a cloth. Be sure to remove all milk and cream rem- nants. This refers also to discs. 4. Rinse all parts by means of an abundance of boiling water. 5. Allow the parts to dry and store them on racks in a clean, well-ventilated room free from in- sects. 6. Before using the parts, expose them to a chlorine solu- tion that contains 100 parts per million of active chlorine, or rinse with boiling water.

Common causes of low-grade milk and cream are: 1. Conta- minating milk with dirt and man- ure. 2. Milking in a dirty, poor- ly ventilated barn. 3. Using poor- ly washed pails, milk machine, cans, cooler, separator. 4. Strain- ing through an improperly wash- ed strainer cloth. 5. Allowing flies to fall into the milk. 6. Al- lowing the washed utensils to be-

come contaminated with bacteria

at the top at the rate of 4 gal- lons per minute, showed that 80) pounds of milk could be cooled) from 90 degrees to 60 degrees F. | in one hour without stirring. Do/| not mix warm and cold milk. Ceoling with Air—Air is a poor conductor of heat. Air cooling is| therfore an in-efficient method. | Bacteria grow rapidly in warm milk.
