Nutritional authorities have pro claimed milk to be " the most near ly perfect fo o d " fo r human beings. It is likewise an ideal food fo r nu merous species o f bacteria which, harmless in themselves, are able to grow in and spoil the flavour o f the milk. While care and cleanliness in milking and subsequent handling will keep down the number o f bacteria in the milk to a minimum, there will always be a small number present as it leaves the udder. I f the num ber always remained the same as when the milk is first drawn into the pail, there would he little need o f worry over spoilage. But unfor tunately fo r the dairyman, bacteria are able to multiply at an enormous rate. Under favourable conditions some species are able to double their numbers every half hour, so that one bacterial cell at the start would increase to 1,024 cells at the end of ten h ours! When we remember that the milk delivered to the city housewife is generally at least thirty-six hours old, the importance o f preventing bacterial growth is ob vious. To check the growth o f bacteria, milk must be cooled promptly to a suitable temperature. Promptness o f cooling is o f value in conserving the so-called " germicidal property" o f the milk, as experiments conduct ed by the division o f bacteriology, central experimental farm, have de monstrated. This simply means that where milk is cooled without delay, and held at a temperature high enough fo r moderate growth o f bacteria to take place, the rate o f growth will be much slower than if cooling had been delayed. Cooling to a low enough temperature simply means making conditions so unfav ourable that the milk-souring bac teria will be unable to grow. This limit is reached at about 45 degrees F., hence the efficient dairyman strives to cool the milk to below this temperature and to keep it there at all times. Details o f im proved methods iaj- the cooling o f milk, construction o f insulated cool ing tanks, etc. are given in Bulletin No. 165, " Cooling Milk on the Farm," which may be obtained from the publication branch, department o f Agriculture, Ottawa.
