This is a Zip file of three JPG images. Typically during the 1930's in the United States, when the walls and ceilings in a dairy barn accumulated filth such as manure stains and fly specks, farmers removed the filth and white washed the barn. An aqueous slurry of lime was mixed (Image 1) and pumped under pressure through a hose (Image 2) to be sprayed on the interior surfaces of the barn (Image 3) - usually with the windows and lights masked. White wash improved the appearance of the barn, and reduced the microbial contaminants in the milking environment. A Milk Inspector visited the farm regularly, with authority to deny permission to market milk from an unsanitary barn. These three images also are available individually as NAL #4528, #4529,and #4530.
