Excerpt from Outlines of Dairy Bacteriology: A Concise Manual for the Use of Students in Dairying This text was originally the outgrowth of a series of 'lectures on the subject of dairy bacteriology to practical students in the winter Dairy Course in the University of Wisconsin. The importance of bac teriology in dairy processes has now come to be so widely recognized that no student of dairying regards his training as complete until he has had the funda mental principles oi this subject. The aim of this volume is not to furnish an exhaus tive treatise of the subject, but an outline and suf ficient detail to enable the general student of dairying to obtain as comprehensive an idea of the bacteria and their effects on milk and other dairy products as may be possible without the aid of laboratory practice. When possible the dairy student is urged to secure a laboratory knowledge of these organisms, but lacking this, the student and general reader should secure a general survey of the field of bacteriology in relation to dairying. In this, the eleventh edition, the effort has been made to include all of the recent developments of the subject. Especially is this true in regard to the sub ject of market milk, a phase of dairying that has gained greatly in importance in the last few years. The changes in the methods of handling market milk have been marked. The results of these changes in influencing the quality of milk offered to the con sumer are fully discussed.
