UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND, JANUARY 22d, 1866
10 THE CITIZENS OF BALTIMORE: In accordance
with the request Of several families who are now
using Condensed Milk, and others who desire to
sdopt It, II found pure have visited the Works of
the BALTIMORE CONDENSED MILK COM
PAM n, near York Pa. and now give the results Of
my obSeryaIlons there, confined by subsequent ex-
amlnatons OF the Milk IN my Laboratory. The
Milk received at the Factory door carefully ex
amlned all not absolutely fresh was rejected and the
sweet pure Milk put in clean brass kettles stand
ing in vat Of hot water. There it remained brief
time sufficient to accomplish the eosguiation of the
into large copper kettle, when it was again mOder-
aely heated by steam, and then transferred by eX-
haustion to the vacuum pan for final concentration
This concentration carried on in partial vacuum
at a temperature not exceeding 1902 Far. thermome-
ter From the vacuum pan was discharged into cans
vat Of ice water, and the Milk then ready for
distribution. By this simple process, in few
hours, while stood watching each successive STEP
some 800 gallons of sweet pure country Milk fresh
from the COWS. without dilution or adulteraton was
reduced to about rs gallons ofthe condensed article
The Condensed Milk thus produced containing of
necessity everything originally present except the
very small per centage Of csein lett adnering to the
inside Of the brass kettles alter the preliminary heat
ing and the seventy-ye per cent. of expelled
in the vacuum pan. This almost selt-eyident truth
eonnrIaed by subsequent chemical examinat
One OF the articles removed the casen, is the ane
constituent of Milk most prone to change mostready
decomposed, and when undergoing change it ALWAYS
change in the sugar by which Tactic acid is produced
This partial removal of the casein from the Con-
denSed Milk must then diminish its tendency to be-
come sour, @,f at the same time must prevent that
obJectionabe conshpatng action that SO often fol-
lows the habltual use Of coagulated casen as an ar
ce 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 an equally
important sensa i IS absolutely pure in being abso
lutely clean. No one visit the factory without
being struck with the extreme care taken and the
efficiency OF the means employed to insure the most
perfect cleanliness Every utensl, from the smallest
cup to the vacuum pan. shone like mirror, while
boiling water and high steam was laYishy used to
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 1t IS passed out again to the consumer it
is never touched by the human hand 1t is not
emily clean, but it is also undfluted. and in
this respect differs widely from City Milk supply
During numerous examinations of Milkfrom various
than one-ioutth ana sometimes found one-third
water This affects the question of cost. Twelve
water makes the Milk cost 16 cents quart But nnn
quart OF Condensed Milk at As cents with four quarts
OF cOld water, VIII give hive quarts of Milk better
than any ordinary Milk that can find and viii cost
less than 70 cents quart, with three Quarts Of wafar
to one quart OF Condensed Milk the cost becomes 10
cents quart, and the product tastes like cream
Even were 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 accommodation or
swil Milk from stall fed and diseased cows Itwould
be worth something TO got rid of the annoyance of
discovering deposit Of mud in the bottom of the
Milk vessel from which, perchance we have lust been
helped. And lastly, it is worth something to have
responsible parties standing between us and the farm
yard pump to guarantee that we shall never be called
on to buy pump water at the rate of good Milk [
need hardly add that all that have said in relation
to the Condensed Milk applies with equal force to
the preserved Milk, that is manufactured in pre-
cisey the same way, and differs only in containing
a large percentage OF grapulated white sugar.
