 AND BUTTER DEPOT.

 .The Right Honorable the Earl of Meath" contributes to The Nineteenth Century Gughsh) a paper which will be full of interest to our dairy and cream. cry readers. It is a description of a famous model dairy in Berlin, "The right honorable' grows enthusiastic as Ir racounts it's excellences, and small blame to him too. He writes:
 Berlin posscsses a commercial undertaking which, owing to its success, its rapid growth, tu. benefit it confers on the people, and the pa.Iuuthrupc manner in which it is conducted, .s well worthy of notice, l allude to the i'm mcnse dairy of Herr C. Bolle.
 Tho business was commenced in 1881 with three carts. Now NS9D coo men, l40 horses and lu. vehicles are needed to satisfy the demands ut customers. The secret of hfssuccess lies iR lNu purity, excellence and cheapness of the m.Ia Che precautions which render adultera- UDu impossible, the scrupulous cleanliness uraatloel in the establishment, and the facili
 
 purchasers,
 Every driver Of a cart is detailed to supply mu, t0 8 certain portion of the town. He re. ...Eus 70 small map representing his part of the city, with certain spots marked at the corners u. streets where the cart has to stop and sell mIIk to all who care to purchase.
 The employees are shielded against tempta rt0u Co dishonesty by tho milk being placed en- Hr.ly out of tLeir control. The cans which arc made Co contain certain measured quan- titles of milk, are locked and placed inside the eurt which consists of an enormous metal box uu wheels, with holes just large enough to ad- wIt tbe taps from the CaIh inside to be pushNl through. When the metal box is closed 1t is impossible Co tamper with the milk. Outside, .u.t above the boles where the taps appear, tEc nature of the contents of each can, and the price, arc clearly painted As it is known cT. uerly how much each can holds, the omplOye whose duty iJ is to sell tho milk is responsible ..r lrs value, and has to produce the sum which .. .re.ruts the amount of milk missing whCiD ..e cart returns to the dairy. A similar ar .Hnrnmcnt is pursued in regard to the sale Oi butter and CrUam Cheeses, which are handed rG tHe cmplOyo in convenient sized pats and -..l.=, each having it's price clearly stamprd ug.u its face.
 The following are the articles sold, do. Hvarad from cart into kitchen;
 Pure milk. skinned milk, buttermilk, cream and whipped cream. Finest butter: Firh quality, second quality and third quality. German cream cheese: Square cheese, RamN .#u NarZ, Camembert, MOabite and Nou- ,U...L Dhlldren's milk in sealed bottles stcT. uIai milk, kefyr, sugar of milk, raspberry, cherry and Carrant sirup in bottles.
 Three travelling inspectors are continually employed in watching over the cleanliness and Ira... handling of the milk from the time it .... tho dairy until it reaches the customers .#..-. Almost all the work necessary for the maintenance and repair this large establish. a.uJ is carried out on the premises; for in. stance, there are lOCksmiths, blacksmths, r0Ulcrs, painters, carpenters and joiners.
 Ig autumn and winter from 5000 to 4O,00O, and u spring from 4j,OOJ to 5000, liters of milk are brought daily to the dairy from the differ yut Berlin stations. This enormous amount Is poured into great vat5 or basins after being carefully tested to insure its sweetness 1t Is then passed through Altering apparatus, by which all impurities are arrested, and flows into different parts of the building according Go The nature of the treatment it is destined to undergo One Of the speCialties of this gigantic dairy Is the production of sterilized or germ less milk After the destruction of all germs through the application of heat, carefully reg. u.1tud SO as never to reach the boiling point, rHe milk, which is sent to customers in sealed bottles, can be retained sweet and fresh for several days.
 The measure called litter" contains about one pint and three-quarters.
 It is pleasing to read that Herr Bolle regards his employees as his own family in the interest he takes in their welfare. If the profits of the concern rise above a certain percentage they are divided among the employees A hall for all man. her of meetings is provided for them; also a restaurant, in which for small sums they can obtain excellent food. A good school is maintained for their chil- dreu, also a chapel for religious services, in which the employees receive spiritual instruction every Saturday afternoon. A grand organ has been built in the chapel and there is a choir from among the em- pIOyes Herr Bolle maintains classes in which his employees learn wood carving and music. There is a Sunday school for the children.
 But this is not all. A chemical labor, atOry for making pure sugar of milk and for testing the milk as it arrives from the country is connected with the dairy. Part of the sugar of milk is sold to the druggists Part of it is added to ordi- nary milk for the use of infants. There are cows kept solely for the purpose of giving milk for the babies, and they are separated from other animals. They are fed throughout the year on similar se- lected fodder.
 There is agTcat demand for this milk, which is sold to the public for the use of infants in sealed bottles, The greatest care is taken to cleanse all utensils after use. There is one de. pag.mcnt entirely reserved for this purpose Every receptacle is carefully washed with soda and water, and then steam is forced into and through 1t. Thus every possibility is removed of any sour matter being left behind to con. taminatc and turn the milk when the vessels are next used.
 In conducting the above undertaking to a successful issue Herr Bolle has given conclusive proof. if indeed proof be needed, that practi- Cli interest in the welfare of employees is not inconsistent with the acquisition of wealth and has, | am assured. been the means of visi bly, improving the physical condition of the poorer children of tho German metropolis by supplying them at their very doors with cheap and pure milk, for lack of which, s5 days gone by, they not infrequently pined and died
 Inc low stature and weakly frame of many a child in our own large cities, and even in the country, Is in great measure due to the absence of milk from it's diet. The offspring of the British workingman is largely fed upon tea without milk, and white bread, from which Jhc most nOurishing part of the flour has been reWovcd-an insufficient and unnourishine diet, which will never produce strong and healthy men and women, and which, fear, ia rapidly becoming customary in the country as well as in the town, We British lack neither enterprise nor capital. Why should not Lon don and each of our large towns possess its BJllG as well as Berlin? Let us hope that ener.
