PANY. near York. Pa, and now give the results of
alnlnatlons OF the Milk in my Laboratory. The
Milk received at the Factory door was carefully ex-
sweet pure Milk put in clean brass kettles stand
ing IN vat OF hot water. There it remained brief
time. sufficient to accomplish the coagulation of the
casein. 1t was then passed through q metal filter
into large copper kettle, when it was again moder-
ately heated by steam and then transferred by ex-
haustlon to the vacuum pan for final concentration
This concentration was carried on in partial vacuum
at temperature not exceeding 1902 Far thermome-
which were rapidly cooled by immersing them in a
vat Of ice water. and the Milk then ready for
distribution. By this simple process, in a few
hours: while stood watching each successive step,
some 500 gallons OF sweet, pure country Milk fresh
from the cows without dlution or adulteration was
reduced about 125 gallons ofthe condensed article
The Condensed Milk thus produced containing of
necessity everything originally present except the
very small per centage of casen left adherng to the
inside OF the brass kettles after the preliminary heat
ing and the seventy-ive per cent of water expelled
in the vacuum pan. This almost selfevident truth
was confirmed by subsequent chemical examination.
Ono OF the articles removed, the casein. is tho one
constituent Mi most to change mostreadily
decomposed, and when undergoing change it always
acts like terment, and brings about that chemical
change in the by wheh Tactic acid is produced
This partial removal of the casein from the Con-
densed Milk must then diminish its tendency to be-
come sour, and at the same time must prevent that
objectionable constpating action that so often fol-
lows the habitual use of coaguaed casein as an ar
ice of food whether taken in the form of cheese or
in ordinary boiled Milk. The Condensed Milk is not
only chemically pure, but in another and equally
lutey clean. No one can visit the factory without
being struck with the extreme care taken and the
perfect cleanliness Every utensil. from the smallest
cup to the vacuum pan, shone like mirror. while
remove from the premises every thing that might act
as the slightest cause of contamination. From the
moment the Milk is received at the door of the fac
tory until it is passed out again to the consumer it
is never touched ned BY the human hand; 1t is not
During numerous examinations of Milk'from various
sources have never met with any containing less
than one-fourth and sometimes found one-third
water. This affects the question of cost Twelve
cents for quart Of Milk containing half pint of
Of cold water. will give i've quarts Of Mix better
than any ordinary Milk that can find and will cost
"
to one quart Condensed Milk the cost becomes u
cents quart, and the product tastes like cream.
Even the cost greater, it would be worth some
thing to be free from all risk of swallowing stale Milk
kept until on the very verge of decomposition, or
swirl Milk from stall fed and diseased cows. 1t would
be worth something to get rid of the annoyance of
discovering deposit Of mud in the bottom of the
Milk vessel from which perchance, We have Just been
helped. And lastly, it is worth something to have
responsible parties standing between and the farm
yard pump guarantee that shall never be called
on TO pug pump water at the rate of good Milk I
need hardly add that al th2t have said in relation
to the Condensed Milk applies with equal force to
the preserved Milk. as that is manufactured in pre-
csey the same way, and differs only in containing
a ,erge percentage of granuated white sugar.

We need only add in full e9rroboration, of the
densed Mix a fair trial and examination fully con
cur in the opinion Of Prof. Akin.
Persons DESTROYS of trying this Milk can leave their
orders at the depot or send their address through the
Post office boxes established at the street corners.
