SKIM-MILK AND DISEASES.

Much of the disease among dairy stock in tliis country is spread through pooling the skim milk at the factories. In Denmark it is compulsory for all skim-milk to be scalded before being taken home. You can safe-guard yoqr herd as well' as enjoy untold convenience by installing a “New Century” Steamer. By dropping the steam pipe into the can and turning on the steam, the milk can be scalded in a few minutes .without' any trouble, and any chance pf its spreading disease will be entirely removed.
