CLEAN MILK.
Little Talks on Health and Hygiene
By Dr. Samuel G. Dixon.
Not many years ago everybody kept
a cow. Now-adays the city dweller’s
milk may have been hauled across
two or three states before the milk
bottle finally ‘comes to rest upon the

doorstep.
The majority of people seem to feel
that if their milk is fresh it is likewise
clean. Unfortunately nothing is fur
ther from the truth. Dirty dairies and
unclean handling is far too common.
In the majority of smaller communi- |
ties there is little or no supervision |
of dairy farms and dealers. |
As a result milk is oftén the agent !
by which disease is transmitted. Ty- 1
phoid feevr, septic sore throat, scar-
let fever, diphtheria and other .com- |
municable diseases can readily be ||
spread along the milkman’s route. ||
This is particularly true where ths |
unsanitary practice is followeu of fill-
ing the empty bottles which have
been set out by customers and deliv-
ering them at other houses, instead of
taking them back to the dairy for |
proper cleansing and sterilization.

that you have secured one of these won-
derful little ‘‘assistant housekeepers” for

where extensive typhoid epidemics
have been traced to this practice.
Where city milk supplies are ob-
tained from a wide spread territory
covering several states, inspection of
the individual dairy farm becomes al-
most an impossibility and pasteuriza-
tion offers the only effective method
of protection to insure milk free from
disease germs. This does not necessari-
ly mean clean milk.
Milk produced in states where the
dairy farms are efficiently supervised
by state inspectors is to be preferred.
When the cleanliness of the raw milk
is assured it is to be desired and is
more easily digested than milk which
has been pasteurized.
i Every action, in the handling of
milk and the care of the .dairy. stock
is important. If an absolutely clean
