'WYANDOTTE" NOVEMBER PRIZE ESSAY.

FIRST PRIZE (£3) WON BY MR ALAN McNEILL, WANGANUI.

Many trades can be carried on successfully amidst insanitary surroundings, but not so the dairyman's. He deals with a perishable product. Under the ordinary system dairy utensils require three waters to cleanse them effectively. The first, a rinsing of water, either cold or lukewarm— the second a washing water, hot with soda—the third a scalding water. If the first water is dispensed with, the albumen in the milk is set by the hot water on tne sides of the utensils, and is very hard to get off. If the last water is omitted, odours and germs are generally the outcome.

With "Wyaudotte" two waters are amply sufficient, aud neither need bo hot. " The advantage of this to the over-worked dairyman is three-fold — it saves time, water, aud fuel.

The various parts of a separator are awkward to set at. " Wyaudotte" aud water will get anywhere, unci are, iv combination, more than a match for the variegated filth of a separator bowl. The preservation dissolves readily in hot and cold water, will not rust or corrode metal work, and leaves tinware as bright as a new sixpence, and absolutely sweet and pure. "Wyaudotte" is no less suitable for cleansing the tubing aud teat-cups of milking machines. One of the strongest objections to these labour-savers is the cleansing. If hot water or ste.im is used, the rubber is cracked. Soap and soap powders leave a film of grease and disinfectants; such as formalin, destroy the germs without dissipating the filth which nourishes them.

"Wyaudotte" by it's potency dissolves aud purges away both the germs aud their breeding ground without the assistance of hot water.

"Wyaudotte" may be described as being'the factory manager's ablest assistant, the dairy farmer's unfailing rouse-a-bout, and the house-keeper's untiring companion. It is, in short, the doughtiest foe that has ever been engaged, in mortal combat with the bacterial legions of the Kingdom of Oorruptou.

Note.—The second prize essay (£2), which was won by Mr W. J. Nash, painter, 22 Chapel-street, Mastertou, will appear in a subsequent issue. The next competition will not—owing to the holidays—close until 9th February, 1908, see advertisement elsewhere.
