Milk bottlers — Where large quantities of milk are to be bottledsome form of apparatus whereby the work can be more rapidly done thanwould be possible by ordinary hand methods must be employed. Thereare several patent bottlers upon the market. Among these Childs is prob-ably most largely used in the Northeastern states. This is made in differentsizes. One of the most convenient sizes fills at one operation 8 bottleswhich are placed in a row. The platform containing the bottles will hold20 rows, making 160 bottles in all. It has recently been found as the result. Fig. 246. Childs Bottle Filler. of bacteriological examination of milk that the use of a bottler of the typeof the Childs very greatly increases the number of the bacteria. It appearsto be impossible to so cleanse and sterilize the rubber tubes through whichthe milk passes as to avoid this. Such tubes cannot be subjected to thehigh temperatures essential to destroy bacteria without at the same timedestroying the rubber. This objection appears to hold with almost equalforce against other bottlers and a thoroughly satisfactory bottling machine,as far as the writer knows, is yet to be produced. There is yet anotherobjection which holds against all forms of bottling machines that the writerhas seen, the bottles are not equally filled. Some will begin to run husbandry. 761 over before all in the row are full, and since to allow the milk to run over theoutside of the bottle is very undesirable the flow of milk to all the bot-tles in the row must be stopped when the first bott
