If what Freeman claims might happen, — namely: PASTEDEIZED MILK. 179 the introduction of filth, manure, and fcecal matter intothe milk during the milking process,—then it seems tome that such milk should be discarded entirely, for it ishardly conceivable that sterilizing or pasteurizing canmodify milk contaminated in such a manner. Followingthe precepts of Professor Baginsky at Berlin, the mainpoint is to insist on the strictest stable-hygiene, andthus try to sterilize everything pertaining to the cow,the stable, and the utensils, and in this manner seek toobtain, by the strictest attention to cleanliness, a strictlyclean Fig. 25.—Authors Choice of Feeding-bottle. Directions for Pasteurizing Milk.—Pasteurization isreally sterilization at a temperature of 167° P. Experi-ence has shown that the bacteria usually found in milkand those which would be harmful for an infant can bedestroyed by subjecting milk to a temperature of 167°to 170° F. for 15 to 20 minutes. For this purpose Free-man has constructed his pasteurizing apparatus (see and 27), which, however, is rather expensive, althoughextremely useful. The author has used it and has beenwell pleased with the result. 180 INFANT-FEEDING. Freemans pasteurizer consists of a metal pail intowhich a rack is placed holding the bottles exactly as isfound in the ordinary sterilizing apparatus. This metalpail is partly filled with water—up to its first groove—andthe water heated to the boiling-point. U
