found out to our sorrow the first day hour to construct milk cooling tank spoilage of milk is wrt invariab ly the result of bacterial action while the number of bacteria in freshlydrawn milk depends chiefly upon the care taken in cleaning and sterilizing the utensils and equip ment with which milk comes in con tact the length of time milk will tie- main usable is also dependent upon the temperature at which it is held llence the importance of prompt and thorough cooling of milk on the farm various methods of cooling- milk have been advocated but for the fluid milk trade it is generally accepted that best result are obtained by plac ing the cans in a well insulated tank filled with ice water and circulating the water to speed up the cooling process while the ce may be plac ed in the tank in blocks the greater convenience of mechanical refriger- lun units is leading to their wide spread use whichever form of re frigeration is used it is importannt that a well insulated tank be provid ed otherwise heat will leak into the tankso rapidly as to decrease its ef ficiency and increase the cost of ojw ration in cooiteratlon with the dlvinlmi of bacteriology and dairy

hold fairs last year have fixed dates and are planning to revive their activities this year ttf official list of dates is now being com piled and it is expected to be com plete as soon as the various
