Milking machine sanitation saves milk from rejection
A powder plant manager confronted a patron driving away with a truckload of cows producing rejected milk. He blamed the milking machine so both men discuss changing the sterilizing solution for rubber tubes. The article cites New York experiment station guidance: mix chloride of lime with water to create a stock solution, dilute into a brine, and immerse tubes between milkings. If dirt enters, change solution. otherwise reuse it with periodic top-ups. Thin brine reportedly outperforms chloride bleach for keeping milk clean from milking machines.

Proper washing of cream separators boosts quality
South Dakota State College dairy department found that washing and scalding separators after each use halves bacterial counts in cream and greatly improves keeping quality. In tests, a rinsed separator yielded cream with 10 800 000 bacteria per cm³ versus 5 500 000 from a thoroughly washed and scalded machine. Skim milk also reflected larger bacterial differences.
