TO$NS
Are
Calling
MORE
THAN EVER ....
If you've experienced a delay recently on a
call to a nearby town, you may have won
dered u>hy, since most of yonr calls to more
distant places are going through promptly.
Here's the answer:
Between nearby towns and cities, folks are
calling more than ever . . ? one-fifth more
calls today than during even the peak of the
wartime load. The resulting occasional con
gestion will be relieved as rapidly as mate
rials can be secured and additional circuits
provided.

Prompt Proper Cooling Preserves
Quality Vital to High Grade Milk
By IRA MILLER
Farm Electrification Bureau
Top quality in milk, the preserva
tion of which is as important as its
initial achievement, depends upon
milk being properly and promptly
cooled shortly after Bossie has made
WTVMUi ? ? I ? II
her contribution to the nation's food
welfare. r
The advantages of healthy herds,
the use of clean, sterilized dairy uten
sils and sound farm management
practices, can slip out of a farmer's
grasp as easily as a greased pig at
the county fair, unless milk is cooled
below 50 degrees within approxi
mately an hour and a half after milk
ing time.
Milk is cooled on farms in one of
three ways: by water, ice or me
chanical refrigeration. Just as storm
cellars cannot function adequately as
storage places for perishable farm
produce, so water alone cannot per
form the job expected of it in cool
ing milk to a point where bacteria
growth is halted. The addition of ice
to water, often proves too costly even
when a sufficient supply is available.
Tests show that from 75 to 175 pounds
of ice are needed to cool and store
40 gallons of milk per day in sum
mer weather, bringing the cost of
cooling, in some instances, to as much
as $40 per month.
Faced with uncertain results on
one hand and high costs on the other
most farmers have turned from ice
and water to electricity as a more
economical, time and labor saving
method for solving their milk cool
ing problem. Electric milk coolers are
of two general types ? "wet" and
"dry." The first type employs elec
trically chilled water, automatically
kept at the proper cooling tempera
ture by thermostatic control. The I
"dry" cooler requires an aerator for |
cooling the milk, which is then stored !
in a refrigerated compartment. Often
the refrigerated compartment is large
enough to be of the "walk-in" vari- I
ety, suitable for the cold storage of j
meat, poultry, eggs, fruit and vege- i
tables, in addition to milk.
In immersion coolers, milk cans
are placed in insulated tanks, filled
to the proper depth with "refriger
ated" water. A number of coolers of
this type are equipped with agitators,
which circulate the water, thus pro
viding more rapid transfer of heat
from the milk. In aerator coolers,
milk passes over a corrugated, metal
shield, which is cooled by a constant
flow of temperature-controlled water,
kept in motion by electricity.
The operating cost of electrical
milk coolers averages about 1 kilo
watt hour of power per 40 quarts.
One qiid-western farmer figures he
spends $1.71 per month for elec
tricity to cool 193 cans of milk In his
6-can immersion cooler.
