45. The milking stools should be at all times kept clean, and iron stools are recommended.
46. The first streams from each teat should be rejected, as this fore milk contains more bacteria than the rest of the milk.
47. All milk drawn from the cows 15 days before, or 5 days after parturition should be rejected.
48. The pails in which the milk is drawn should have as small an opening at the top as can be used in milking; top opening preferably not to exceed 8 inches in diameter. This lessens the contamination by dust and dirt during milking.
49. The milking should be done rapidly and quietly, and the cows should be treated kindly.
50. Dry fodder should not be fed to the cows during or just before milking, as dust therefrom may fall into the milk.
51. All milk utensils, including pails, cans, strainers, and dippers, must be kept thoroughly clean and must be washed and scalded after each using, and all seams in these utensils should be cleaned, scraped and soldered flush.
The Milk.
52. Milk from diseased cows must not be shipped.
