Donor Information “This is a milk strainer. The 40 quart can lid was removed and the milk strainer placed in the opening. A soft cotton disk pad was then placed in it. A spring wire ring applied to hold it in place. Each time the dairy man poured milk into the strainer, little bits of chaff or other foreign dust particles which might have dropped in the pail would be filtered out.”
