Milk should be kept covered with a cloth to prevent it from absorbing impuri- ties from the air. It should be sterilized for babies and 3^oung children ; especially during warm weather. Vessels used for milk should be kept perfectl}^ clean . Rinse them out after using, fill them with water in which a tea- spoonful of borax or washing soda has been dissolved and let them stand an hour. Then wash them in hot soap-suds, scald them, rinse again and let them cool. Sterilized Milk.— Sterilize rnilk bottles or jars by boiling them twenty minutes in water. Remove them, fill two-thirds full of milk, and cork with baked or prepared cot- ton or with rubber corks which have^ been sterilized. Place the bottles on a wire stand in a kettle of cold water, heat the water gradually to 165 degrees Fahrenheit, and keep it at that temperature fort}'^ minutes ; then remove the bottles and cool quickly by placing them in cold or iced water. Keep the bottles in a cool place. A thermometer for testing the tempera- ture may be bought at any pharmacy, but if there is none at hand heat the milk until a scum forms over the top, and keep it as nearly as possible at that temperature for forty minutes. Do not allow it to boil.
