The best bet, says DOA, is to heat grade-A milk to 155° for 30 minutes (or to 170° for one minute). Then it is homogenized, concentrated to one-third its volume, and frozen in sealed containers.

She sells grade-A vegetables to the local market, regrets that Marianna, like many farms run by hired help, costs more than it brings in. And there are other problems in the agrarian life. This year, Miss Anderson was much puzzled when the big (but unbred) daughter of her registered Guernsey cow did not give milk.
