Abstract


Now-a-days we hear much about "clean milk," not only as regards suspended impurities visible to the naked eye but clean from a bacteriological point of view. In every health officer's report we see the wail set up for better quality of milk and also the reason for greater infant mortility. To sum up, he sets the defective milk supply as the root cause. It has been clearly shown by eminent bacteriologists beginning with L. Pasteur, that milk forms one of the best sources for the growth of such fell diseases as consumption, enteric, etc. Under such conditions it is no great wonder that the Indian Government should have Dairies of their own, un on modern principles under trained managers, for the production of milk under the best sanitary conditions for the benefit of the Military. In the following few pages I will try to give what I have seen in the Military Dairy Farm at Bangalore as regards the treatment of the milk ere it reaches the consumer.
