PREFACE TO THE TENTH EDITION.

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 bacteriology 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 fundamental principles of this
subject.

The aim of this volume is not to furnish an exhaustive treatise of
the subject, but an outline and sufficient 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 tenth edition, the effort has been made to include all
of the recent developments of the subject. Especially is this true
in regard to the subject of market milk, a phase of dairying that
has gained greatly in importance in the last few
