Milk is frequently delivered at houses early in the morning and is left outside without ice, ex- posed to the rays of the sun, and sometimes a prey to Fig. 159.—Sanitary hygienic milking stool. Domestic animals have been known to be carriers of diphtheria and other infectious diseases and may communicate the germs of these diseases to the milk by licking the caps of exposed bottles. Even after bottles have been cleaned and sterilized at the dairy there is possible danger of reinfection by handling (Figs. 153-158)..
