PREFACE.

Knowledge in dairying, like all other technical industries, has grown
mainly out of experience. Many facts have been learned by observation,
but the _why_ of each is frequently shrouded in mystery.

Modern dairying is attempting to build its more accurate knowledge upon
a broader and surer foundation, and in doing this is seeking to
ascertain the cause of well-established processes. In this, bacteriology
is playing an important role. Indeed, it may be safely predicted that
future progress in dairying will, to a large extent, depend upon
bacteriological research. As Fleischmann, the eminent German dairy
scientist, says: "The gradual abolition of uncertainty surrounding dairy
manufacture is the present important duty which lies before us, and its
solution can only be effected by bacteriology."

It is therefore natural that the subject of Dairy Bacteriology has come
to occupy an importa
