Impurities Removed While the Fluid II

The invention of Scotch dairyman
is for the purpose of purifying and
aerating milk This is an apparatus
adapted for purifying milk by the
process of eliminating from it all
taints and odors Immediately after it
is drawn from the cow 1t has been
found that milk SO treated will keep
sweet for a greater length of time,
and viii even withstand the influence
of thunderstorms TO the cheese
maker this is matter of special inn
portance, since first-class cheese can
not be made from tainted milk, while
in the case of milk for town supply
the preservation of its freshness
should prove of incalculable benefit
to seller and purchaser alike.
The appliance is extremely simple,
consisting of timed wire cloth so ar
ranged on stand that the milk flow
ing from the vessel above passes over
it, and gets broken into the finest
stream, thus allowing every part of

The aerator is equally useful to the
dairy farmer for the purpose of puri-
flying milk preparatory to cream rails
ing or separating, and it is desira BILE
to note that all milk should be aer-
ated before refrigerated. At present
the refrigerator is generally used to
cool impure milk, from which results
the fact that refrigerator milk goes
sour very quickly when brought to
temperature exceeding 60 degrees.
This appliance is undoubtedly a new
and valuable adjunct to the dairy.
