Preservation by Pressure.

Preservation of milk by pressure is an idea with which agents of the de- partment of agriculture have been ex- perimenting. Enormous hydraulic pres sure has been applied to samples of milk inclosed in collapsible tin tubes, placed in strong hollow steel cylinders, the pressures ranging from 100 pounds to 100 tons per square inch. It was found that at ordinary temperature milk subjected to pressures of 10 to 15 tons for as many days was sweet at the end of the test, while at lower pres sures the souring was not delayed. Treasures of 30 tons applied for one hour delayed souring for upward of 24 hours as compared with check samples. Treasures of 70 to % tons for several minutes to one hour kept milk sweet from two to seven days. When the temperature of the milk was raised to 40 or ITO degrees F., low pressures gave better results than corresponding pressures at ordinary temperatures. Up to the present time it has been i'm possible to completely destroy all the bacteria by means of pressure, germ life being particularly tenacious. Germs of typhoid fever, tuberculosis and other diseases added to the milk for experimental purposes were not killed by the application of 10 to 15 tons for eight days and upward. AL together the idea would appear to be more interesting than practical

Yet, simple as it is, every milk dealer, every creamery and cheese factory, ev- cry buyer of butter aud cheese knows that it Is a condition very hard to se- cure. If every producer of milk would comply with this simple condition, there would be scarcely any poor milk. butter or cheese.
