S. Jordan, local electrical and plumbing contractor, installed the intricate system of refrigeration, pasteurization and automatic equip ment at the Elmwood Farms Dairy. Said Mr. Jordan, viewing the lay out as it neared completion early this week, "This will be by far the best and most modernOy equipped dairy in this part of the country." The pasteurizing and refrigerating and bottling room at Elmwood Farms is a unit separate and apart, fly proof and sterile to a point approach ing a hospital operating room. For instance, the bathrooms and locker rooms can be reached only from the outside of the building. The refrigerator, a huge affair in which the crated and sealed bottles of milk are stored, is also entered, from the outside of the building. On the receiving end, at the first stage, Mr. Jordan pointed out, is a small room two doors removed from the milking barn. At this point the milk is poured into a model metal tank. This is where the men from the milking barn lose track of the process. From the tank in the receiving room, the milk runs through a spot less shining pipeline to a cooling coil that brings it down to a temper ature of twenty degrees as it flows across coils filled with circulating brine and then into the pasteurizer. The pasteurizer, installed along with the rest of the equipment by Mr. Jordan, is a hundred gallon af fair with a glass interior and an au tomatic temperature and timing de vice. Here, as an automatic agitator keeps the milk in motion, it is held at a temperature of not less than 142 degrees for 30 minutes by steam and hot water. When a small electric pump draws the milk from the pasteurizer, car ries it through other pipe lines to another and larger set of cooling coils which brings the temperature quickly down to 40 degrees or less, and . then allows it to flow to the same flyproof room. The bottles are then crated and stored in the large refrigerator ready for the delivery man. Similar to the sterilizer in a met ropolitan hospital is the sterilizing room at the Elmwood Dairy. Bot tles, cans, tanks, pails, etc., are stored here and subjected to live steam heat of 220 degrees. An eight horsepower steam boiler provides steam for sterilizing and pasteurizing and heating purposes. Elmwood Farms has an independent water system, electrically driven. JUvery room is equipped witn a separate lavatory. Mr. Jordan also furnished and installed the plumbing and steam fittings. Brine is stored in a 300-gallon tank in another compartment of the 9-room milk house, kept at 20 de grees Farienheit, and pumped by electricity as needed to the cooling coi'ls in the pasteurizing room. Elmwood Farms is an array of automatic devices. For instance, cows mv the barns draw their own drinking water as they need it. Ont small trough for each two cows is provided with a gadget which the cow presses down with her nose as the water gets low. Then more wa ter flows into the recepticle until Mrs.; Cow turns it off . . . and she never lets it overflow. Flourescent light furnishes illumi nation in the. milking barn. There are no bulbs and an illusion of day light is created. i I 1 aJ ft '"sftfflSRi- I;Mff If PASTEURIZING (Continued rrom rage One) seal the bottles without any contacf of human hands. Every bottle is in spected to see that it goes out in perfect sanitary condition. v When the bottles return, they are washed and sterilized; twenty min utes being required to wash each bottle. And then comes one of the largest rand most important jobs, the daily cleanup. It takes more time and care than any other, but it must be done to assure customers pure, fresh milk. Every piece of equipment, pipes, tanks, coolers, everything the milk touches, is taken apart, scrub- T)otttirig and capping machine in the I bed and sterilized Here is an interior yiew of the milking-barn at the New Elm wood Farms Dairy. The lighting fixture overhead is of the flour escent type which does away with glare and gives the illusion or daylight for early morning milking. Six of the individual milking stanchions are in the picture. There are twenty in the barn. Peanut Meal Is Good For Laying Mashes High-grade peanut meal can be used to replace' at least 50 per cent of the animal proteins in general use in well-balanced laying mashes for chickens, Prof. Roy S. Dearstyne. head of the State College Poultry De-1 partment, has announced, upon the conclusion of experimentsln poultry feeding. The tests were made at the Coastal Plain Branch Experiment Station at Willard, in cooperation with C. O. Bollinger, poultryman at the farm, and H. P. Brigman of the college poultry department. Professor Dearstyne announced the results of two series of experiments in a bulletin (No. 326) entitled "Ef fect' of Substituting Peanut Meal in Part for the Animal Protein in Lay ing Mash on Egg Production, Hatch ability, and Livability of Chicks." TJie publication is free to interested citizens of North Carolina upon re quest to the Agricultural Editor at Er, Needs Breaking? "My good man, you had better take the street car home." "Sh' no ushe. Wife wouldn't let me keep it in the houshe." J: Milk Is The One Crop That Does Not Get Thrown Out, Burned TJfp or Lef t to ROt There are more than 24,000,000 dairy cows in the United States re presenting an industry which brings in nearly a billion and a half dol lars in cash every year to American farmers, according to the Milk Indus try Foundation's condensed version of the sound slide film, "The Milk Dollar." "In the old days, there wasn't any real milk industry. Milk was just milk. Nobody paid much attention to sanitation and the farmer never knew whether he would be able to sell the milk. ".Today dairy farming has advanced and dairying requires as careful management as any other business. Farmers and distributors have built up in America the best milk supply1 and distributing system in the world. "A great many people do not real ize that milk is the Number One cash crop for the American farmer, bring ing in more cash than cotton or wheat more cash than all the grain raised in the country. "Milk brings the farmer almost twice as much as all the cotton,, five times as much as all the tobacco, half again as much as all the fruits and vegetables, about $500,00(5,000 a year more than hogs, nearly $30O,-1 000.000 more than beef. "Milk is the one crop for which there is always a ready market re gardless of how little or how much the farmer produces. It is the one crop that does not get thrown out, burned up or left to rot like some. fruit and vegetable bumper crops." The slide film goes on to state that of all the milk produced, around 31 per cent goes into creamery but ter, 10 per cent for butter on farms, about 6 per cent for cheese, 12 per cent for fluid milk Bsed on the farms for feeding stock, etc, and the balance for evaporated milk, ice cream and all the rest.
