Importance of Small Openings in Milk-pails.—(See Fig. 6.)—From the experiments above mentioned, it will be seen that it is im-practicable to clean the udder or free the air from dust so perfectly thatno bacteria will fall into the milk. The next question is, How can wereduce the number of those that will fall in, despite all reasonable pre-cautions? The easiest way known is to use a small-top milking-pail,thus reducing the size of the opening through which dirt can fall experiment to illustrate this point showed that milk drawn into an COWS MILK 53 ordinary milking-pail (Fig. 7) contained 1300 bacteria per c
