If they are allowed to remain a few minutes in the hot water, it is better. The heat will reach every part, and should be continued long enough to destroy bacterial life. After the rinsing in boiling water, the surface will quickly dry and should be allowed to do so naturally. Turn the vessel so that it will drain, and in a few minutes the heat in the metal will dry the surface. A cloth for drying can rarely be kept clean, and for this reason does more harm than good. It is an excellent practice to stand the pails and other milk vessels in the sun so that the rays will reach every part of the inside. Most species of bac- teria cannot live in the direct rays of the sun. For this reason milk-rooms and simi- lar rooms for hand- ling milk products, except cold - storage rooms, should be built so that the sunlight can enter in abund- ance. Dairy - rooms are usually damp, and if dark, will permit the growth of molds and the development of bacteria, and will speedily become unfit places to keep milk. The troubles with stringy or ropy milk usually occur in places of this kind, and can be overcome by a thorough cleansing and the admission of plenty of air and sunlight.
