THE MILK PROBLEM.
Our great-grandfathers concerned
themselves as little about a safe and
clean milk supply as they did about
the water which came from the
town well. Typhoid fever and small
pox were visitations of providence,
a punishment for sin, which was
true, but it was the sin of ignorance.
The knowledge of the presence of
Bacteria in various forms is now as
commonplace as that a Holstein
a different quality of milk
from a Jersey cow.
Yet it is true that many families
do not understand the dangers
which may come from careless
handling and use of milk, and there
are farmers who do not comprehend
why we make such a fuss about the
care of cows and stables. The con
sumer has to trust to the milk pro
ducers to give her a pure, clean and
safe supply. But how is she to know
if it is all this? What is clean milk?
It certainly is not milk which mere
ly looks clean, because the opacity
of milk may cover a multitude of
Bacteria and particles of dirt and
dust. All dirt is not harmful, but it
may be. and there is harmless dirt
which is not pleasant to think of as j
an addition to our food.
Cleanliness means not only the
absence of dirt but the absence of
flies, roaches, rats and vermin.
Clean milk cannot be produced
unless the cows, milker, utensils
and stables be clean. Clean milk
cannot not be produced from dirty
cows in dirty stables or handled by
dirty milkers. The most scrupulous
care can not prevent the entrance
of all Bacteria, and absolutely ster
ile milk is so rare as to be a noted
phenomenon. Care can prevent the
changing or souring of milk for
days, and to a degree insures its
quality and safety.
Clean milk keeps. At the Paris
Exposition in 1900 one of the most
significant exhibits was of Ameri
can dairy products. At this exhibit
sweet milk and cream were daily
served from dairies from Illinois,
New York and New Jersey. These
products were free from preserva
tives of any kind, and it was here
demonstrated that nothing was
needed to keep milk for many days
but cold and cleanliness.
Pure from the consumer’s stand
point is the properly handled prod
uct of healthy, well-fed cows.
From the legal standpoint pure
milk must contain a certain percent
age of fats and solids, and there are
other things required in other places.
Bacteriological standards, as well
the ’ standard regulating the
percentage of fat, would help mate
rially in reducing infant mortality,
and it is here that we should be ed
ucated to demand protection. It is
illegal to water fhilk ot' : adulterate
it with chemicals, because of the
importance of milk. A. proved of
fense,of this na ure should mean a
revoking of license, but it ought to
be, regarded as far more criminal
to sell dirty and infected milk than
watered milk, and because, it is food
and the main dependance of the
most valuable portion of any com
munity, the milk question is a very
serious cne.
The unfortunate baby who has to
live on cows’ milk is not as well off
as kittens, calves or even incubator
chickens, for they are more helpless
and for a greater length of time,
therefore it is imperative that the
milk be nutritious and wholesome,
not just for the sake of the baby but
for the benefit of the world at large
Commissioner of Agriculture .J.
J). Price says: •’ We have foil nd in
a great many cases that the gentle
men who are running dairies are
really ignorant of the absolute sani
tary condition in which the law re
quires dairies to be kept.” As for
our local milk supply: Milk has
1 een tested by State and Govern
ment inspectors. Some were found
'ar below the requirements, in fats
Mid <o!ids, while other specimens
contained preservatives, viz: Form
ahde, chalk, etc. And one Inspec
tor -tated that in, all his trips of in
spection, he had never seen such
utter disregard of cleanliness and
sanitation. Knowing these condi
t on-- exisi, have we the moral right
to invite mothers of sick babies to
come to us? Poking as a health re
