Full Text
The ordinary milk pail is usually about ten inches high, much wider at the top than at the bottom and holds from twelve to sixteen quarts. An exceptionally well arranged vessel for catching all the foreign matter that may fall from the cow's udder, flanks or belly. Intelligent farmers and dairymen are abandoning these old time pails for the more sanitary small top pails. Pails with small openings in the top reduce the bacterial content approximately 50 per cent. Such pails are not expensive and will last as long as the old style. All milk vessels should be of good material, well tinned and have all the crevices well filled with solder. It is quite difficult or almost impossible to thoroughly clean and sterilize a milk vessel that has deep crevices along the seams.
