23. The milker should be clean in all respects; he should not use
tobacco while milking; he should wash and dry his hands just before
milking.
24. The milker should wear a clean outer garment, used only when
milking and kept in a clean place at other times.
25. Brush the udder and surrounding parts just before milking and wipe
them with a clean damp cloth or sponge.
26. Milk quietly, quickly, cleanly and thoroughly. Cows do not like
unnecessary noise or delay. Commence milking at exactly the same hour
every morning and evening, and milk the cows in the same order.
27. Throw away (but not on the floor--better in the gutter) the first
two or three streams from each teat; this milk is very watery and of
little value, but it may injure the rest.
28. If in any milking a part of the milk is bloody or stringy or
unnatural in appearance, the whole should be rejected.
29. Milk with dry hands; never let the hands come in contact with the
milk.
