Jt is not purely a co-operative af
fair, so the word co-operative was
left out of the name, because, under
Alabama law’, the use of the word
would have excluded the handling of
milk ot non-members. The plan of
organization was broader than that,
based on business methods, and the
plant will handle any good milk that
meets health regulations.
At the rear of the plant there is
a platform and leading into the.
building a narrow door. As soon
as t he collecting trucks place a can
of milk on the platform and it is
taken to the door it will be opened,
and inspected by an expert. It he
passes it, it will go into the build
ing, where another dairy expert will J
make a second test, after which it !
will be poured into a receiving and
chilling vat with a capacity of 1.000
gallons. There are two of these tem- |
porary cooling vats of similar ca
pacity.
The next step will send the milk
to a nickel-plated and nickel-lined
heater, a grouped mass of sanitarily
joined pipes, where the milk will bo
given :i temperature of HO degrees
Fahrenheit and held at that tempera
ture for thirty minutes and the tem
perature will he reduced to 40 de
grees Fahrenheit from there going,
to the iilling room and bottled. Once
in tin*, bottles the milk will go into
oases and the cases, .on conveyors,
w ill pass out the side of the building
to the distributing trucks for de
livery to eusomers.
