. The dairyman's manual; a practical treatise on the dairy. Dairying. THE CARE OF MILK. 255 iness dairyman whose Hying depends upon his success. Nevertheless, there are dairies and creameries where the system in operation is totally devoid of the commonest means of insuring the necessary cleanliness; and in see- ing this the natural consequence—a poor quality of product which unfortunately is the rule rather than the exception—is by no means surprising. Above the sink there may be a rack in which shallow pans may be kept upon their sides ; or lath shelves upon which deep pails may be placed bottom upwards. An outdoor rack placed in a sunny exposure wdll be found very convenient. For shallow pans this may be provided on the porch of the milk- house, or of the kitchen ; for deep pans ^io-, 49 a post set in the ground near the dairy, DEYraa rack for and furnished with a number of pins, as *"^^ pails. shown at figure 49, will serve as a rack for airing them. The greatest mistakes in the dairy are made in setting the milk for cream. In the family dairy, w^here one cow supplies milk and butter, the arrangements are usually better than in some farm dairies. Here the ar- rangements are often surprisingly bad. At times one may have seen the milk of four cows set in a sleeping- room, and under the bed. The young woman who man- aged that dairy prided herself on her good butter. What she knew of bad butter must have been fearful to con- template. In some farm-houses the milk is set in the living-room where the cooking and eating are done, and where, in the evening, the farmer and the hired man smoke their pipes and dry their wet boots and socks under the stove. No wonder some persons prefer oleo- margarine to butter made in that fashion. If these lines come under the notice of any one, man or woman, who keeps milk under such circumstances as these, or in any.
