The life history of the milkâ€"can in Copenhagen is interesting. To start with, the cows are kept in bright, airy sheds all day; only in the summer months are they allowed openâ€"air pasâ€" ture, for the effects of coldâ€"and rain on the milk yield are well known. There are no fences in Denmark; the cattle are pegged down and moved{ systematically over certain restrictâ€" ed areas. | _ Cleanly milking from the Danish point of view does not begin and end with a clean cow; it is a far cry from the cow to the child‘s mouth. The milkers, the pails, the sheds in which the"cows are milked, even the walls and the floors; the transit of the milk from the farm to the retailer, and thence to the consumer, are all inâ€" cluded in the Danish programme forl the purest milk, bacteria increase enâ€" ormouslyâ€"uncovered milk is always liable to infection. it ed milk.

Denmark has attained a distinction of which any nation might be proudâ€" she ensures to her young children the daily, yearly supply of pure milk, says Marion Jameson in The World‘s Work. Since more than half of the farms of Denmark are associated with the coâ€"operative dairies, it fol-} lows that ideal conditions for milking must obtain practically throughout, the country. h A Description of the System in Vogue in the Coâ€"operative Dairies CLEANLINESS OF.THE DANISH DAIRY IS AN ART.
