Wisconsin Dairies (silent, 1927)
The film compares milk production on a small farm and a large farm, highlighting their different methods. On the small farm, a boy and his dog drive a small herd of Holsteins home, where the cows are hand-milked, and the milk is strained, cooled, and collected in cans. In contrast, the large farm features a bigger herd, both in summer pastures and winter barns, with automatic milking machines streamlining the process. Finally, the film showcases modern dairy facilities where milk is pasteurized, bottled by automated machines, and transported to cities in refrigerated and tank cars, emphasizing efficiency and hygiene in large-scale production.
