The Picturesque Dairies of Europe Explored by Alvord
The Dairy Division of the U S Department of Agriculture traveled Europe to study dairy practices. Major Henry E Alvord found American breeds adapt best to U S conditions, and that Denmark offers the cleanest creameries though at high labor cost. He noted U S factory systems exceed European methods in variety and ease of cleaning, while European feeding and farm milk handling lag in refrigeration. He contrasted street markets and fairs in Normandy, Frome, and Alkmaar with the New Jersey and New York dairies showcasing natural milk.
