Dairy Reference
Manual Available
The 1970’s will be the decade of
the “management revolution” in
the dairy industry and the man
who survives will be a dairyman
who can manage cows and large
amounts of capital and also
properly use the technical ser
vices of ag industry.
“The professional dairyman
needs many facts in reference
form to make sound management
decisions,” says Donald L. Ace,
Extension dairy specialist at The
Pennsylvania State University.
To help make more information
available a new “Dairy
Reference Manual” has been
Prepared by Ace and published
by the College of Agriculture.
The professional people in ag
industry who service the modern
.dairy farms of today also need
factual resource information to
properly service the “new breed”
of dairymen, says Ace.
The new Penn State publication
has been designed to be a catalog
of facts for the professional
dairyman and personnel who
furnish supplies and services for
the dairy industry.
Topics covered in the book
include milk quality and product
technology, diseases and
parasites, breeding and selec
tion, physiology of reproduction,
feeding, milking equipment,
structures and barn equipment,
and farm management data.
The 216-page book may be
purchased for $3 plus six percent
sales tax. Make check or money
order payable to The Penn
sylvania State University and
send with your name and address
to DAIRY MANUAL, Box 6000,
University Park, Pa. 16802.

MILK PRICE VS. WAGES
If food prices had kept pace with wage increases, what
would a quart of milk cost you at the store? Average
hourly wages m industry have increased from $1.52 per
hour in 1952 to $3.65 in 1972. If food prices had in
creased at the same rate (2.4 times their 1952 level)
your food bill would be much higher.

Clean Milking Equipment Twice Daily
Milking equipment on dairy
farms is washed after each use
just like the dishes from which we
eat. Milking is done twice a day,
so cleaning follows immediately
after, says county agent Sidney
E. Barnard, Extension dairy
specialist at The Pennsylvania
State University
Years ago milking equipment
was rinsed in clear water after
night milking and washed after
morning milking In those days
milk was delivered to the con
sumer the same day it was
produced. Today milk must keep
at least seven to 10 days from
production to consumption This
mandates the utmost in
sanitation.
All milking equipment should
be rinsed in lukewarm water
following use. Cleaning is done
with an alkaline cleaner and
brush or circulated with a pump

Proper strength and tem
peratures above 110 degrees F
are keys to success. Rinse with
clear water or an acidified rinse,
if the water is hard.
Milking equipment must be
free of bacteria, so milk will have
good keeping quality says Bar
nard. Dairy farmers must go one
step beyond what most
housewives use for dishwashing.
All surfaces are flushed with a
solution of chlorine or iodine
sanitizer. Hot water can’t be used
because temperatures of 170
degrees F are necessary to
sterlize equipment surfaces.
Dairy farmers follow twice-a
day cleaning and sanitizing
practices for their milking
equipment The purpose is to
assure consumers of good quality
fluid milk products, adds Bar
nard
