Helping the Neat and Milk Supply (Special Information S?rvlc?, U. 8. Department of Agriculture.) A STEAM GERM-KILLER FOR SMALL DAIRIES < 4 Placing a Milk Can Over the Home-Made Sterilizer? It Can Be Used on the Kitchen Stove. DEVICE INSURES CLEANSED MILK - Steam Destroys Disease Germs and Injurious Bacteria. SMALL OUTFIT EASILY MADE Tests Show Five-Minute Treatment of Dairy Utensils Is Sufficient ? Two Burner Wickless Kerosene 8tove Is Useful. Steam Is the arch enemy of harmful bacteria that lurks In milk utensils. But steam Isn't the common method of sterilizing used In small dairies, be cause It Is not always available. In fact, lacking It, dairy utensils on small farms are not often sterilized satis factorily, and as a result diseases hide In milk and may be carried to many families. Washing milk cans and uten sils, at least by the processes or dinarily used, does not Insure free dom from Infection and contamina tion. For $10 or $15 a simple steam ster ilizer, which will serve a small dairy, can be made In a short time. At that price ? which includes a small kerosene stove ? this sterilizer should be prac tical In any dairy from which cream or milk Is sold. And the additional keeping qualities which the steriliza tion of utensils will give milk and cream probably will pay for the cost of the sterilizer In one season. For when utensils are treated with steam all bacteria or disease germs which may be In them are destroyed, and therefore milk nnd cream when placed In these utensils will keep sweet much longer. Directions for Making. This Is the way to make a small sterilizer. Specialists of the United States department of agriculture, who describe the process, say this sterilizer will be of greatest use to those who have one, two or three ten gallon or smaller cans, with a similar number of palls and a strainer cloth. It can be used, however, with n large number of cans. It Is made of a roasting pan, n cover, a galvanized-lron box and a removable top to the box. FOR $10 TO $15. SMALL DAIR IES CAN HAVE STEAM STERILIZER. The cost of the steam steriliz er itself should not be more than $8. If It Is necessary to buy n small stove the cost will be $4 or $5 more. The materials used in it can be bought at prices about as follows : Roasting pan. 25 cents to $1, depending on the grade of iron. The galvan ized iron with asbestos and con struction work should not cost more than $7, and the work can be done by any tinner. A two burner wickless kerosene stove costs from ?4 to $5; but in many cases it will not be necessary to purchase a stove. The details of making the sterilizer and sug gestions as to how it should be operated are described in Farm ers' Bulletin of the United States department of agricul ture. When properly operated this sterilizer destroys practically all the bacteria in the utensils, in cluding all disease germs, which may be present. It will accom plish the same results as any sterilizer irk.'&tflch steam not un der pressure is used. Experi ments with it show that the five-minute steaming is, for nil practical purposes, as good as the 15 to 30 minute steaming usually recommended. The roastlng-pan Is of standard size, 20 inches lung, 14 Inches wide ? top measurement ? and .'1 Inches deep. The cover to this Is close fitting and In sulated. Upon this Is placed the gal vanlzed-lron box with Its removable top. The Insulated cover Is made as follows : Take a sheet of heavy galvanized Iron and cut It large enough to allow It to project three-fourths Inch over the edge of the pan. Bend the edges of the sheet so as to form a shallow box with sides three-eighths Inch high. Then cut out a cover for the shallow box. Cut a hole one and one-half Inch In diameter In the center, through the top and bottom, of the small box. Iron braces should be placed crosswise of the box to strengthen It. Then fill the shallow box completely with pa per or asbestos sheets, after which the top Is carefully soldered on, care be ing taken to make the seams abso lutely tight Solder a round, galvan ized Iron pipe, four and one-half Inches long and one and one-half inch In di ameter In the hole in the center of the cover. Solder flanges beneath cover so that they will meet the edge of the roasting pan, thus making a tight cover. On the top of the Insulated cover solder strong folded gnlvanleed iron strips, three-eighths Inch high, to form a square 18 Inches by 15 Inches, for holding the upper galvanlzed-lron box. On top of the cover solder also four strips of stiff, galvanlzed-lron eight Inches long and three-eighths Inch wide. These strips should extend three PATRIOTISM AND GOOD MILK. Every owner of a dairy herd should consider It bis duty to himself and to the community to keep only healthy cows, sup ply them with wholesome feed and keep them In clean, comfort able quarters. There Is not only patriotism In the service to his patrons which results from such management, but there is more profit. The milkers and all who han dle the milk should realize that they have in their charge a food which Is easily contaminated and should, therefore, take all reasonable precautions to pre vent the milk from becoming a source of dunger to themselves and to others. The consumer should under stand that clean, safe milk is worth more and its production costs more than milk which con tains dirt and disease germs; therefore he should be willing to pay more for It than for dirty milk, which is dear at any price. eighths inch above the cover and run from a distance of one inch from the corners to one inch from the steam out let in the center. The galvanized-lron box has no bot? torn but tits in the square formed by the four strips on the cover. The box is 11 Inches high. Inside it, three-fourths inch from the top and one-half inch from one side, a stiff wire should be riveted and soldered. It is sometimes desirable to re-enforce the box at each corner with angle iron six inches long and one-half inch wide, riveted half way up the side. Kerosene Stove Used. In the department of agriculture's tests of the outfit described a two burner wlckless kerosene stove waa used with excellent results. The ster ilizer. however, may be placed on the kitchen stove or over any other source of heat, such as a gas. gasoline, or laundry stove, which burns either wood or coal. Good results also are ob tained at very little cost by building under the sterilizer a small brick fur nace 12 Inches high. It is necessary to have sufficient hent to furnish steam at the end of the outlet pipe at least ! 205 degrees Fahrenheit, and 210 to 211 degrees Fahrenheit should be obtained if possible. ??*KK*?*X**?K**X?K?KSKKKKK ? m x BUSINESS LOCALS. ? * wamamm * MCE CAR MULES WELL BROKEN Come look thtm over.
