A Swiss Conasn.lng FACTORY.

Some interesting particulars are
given by Mr.. F. C. Harrison, bacteriol-
ogist to the Guelph Experiment Sta
ton. in description published By him
of the great condensed milk business
OF Henri Nestle and Co., carried on by
them at Veyey, Switzerland, and else
where. The article says: The milk
supply is drawn from over $50 villages,
but the firm does not buy from indi-
vidual farmers. When the peasants
wish to do business with the company
they form into cooperative society,
and appoint one of their number as
manager. They then sign an agree
ment which binds them to feed certain
foods to their cattle. to keep their
sheds and utensils clean. and to do
many other things for the good Of the
milk. The manager arranges the terms.
settles difficulties between the COM
munity and the company, and exercises
general surveillance over his society.
The Nestle company have twenty-five
inspectors, each with a horse and rig,
whose duty is to drive continually from
village to village. seeing that all is
right and in good order. The inspec-
tor is always drawn from a remote vii
lage, has no association with the viii
lagos he calls at. and is selected for
his vigilance and experience. The
company also have their own veter-
mary surgeons, whose duty is to ex-
anime all milking utensils, and see that
they are scrupulously clean. also that
the byres are clean, well ventilated, and
drained. The cows diet Is confined to
hay and grass. and the inspector must
see that no forcing foods, like oil
cake, are used. Milk Is transported in
cans to the factory, and Is there care
fully weighed, sampled. and tested
every day, to ensure that all cream is
present.
The contents of all cans are then
turned into huge vat, where the milk
remains until required for boiling. 1t
Is then run into copper boiler and
carefully scalded. Syrup cooked in an
other boiler to the right temperature
and consistency is added, and the two
are then mixed together. Next the
milk is pumped into the condensers.
and there condensed within a vacuum.
The condition of the contents Is ascer-
tanned by means of tube attachment.
which Is rotated into the interior OF the
chamber near the bottom and drawn
out with a sample for examination.
Condensation completed, the hot fluid
is run out into cans to cool. To give
an idea OF the immense size of the
Nestle factories 1t is sufficient TO say
that they daily handle $4,000 gallons
of fresh milk, the production Of Is. 900
cows.
Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1901-10-05

Doubtless some OF our readers are
interested in the question of presery-
Ing eggs. For such we publish the fol-
lowing from the London Rural World:
The method most commonly In use
Is as follows: The eggs are placed in
large vessel or tub, holding large
or small quantities, as the case may
be, and these are all piled up, one on
the top of the other. A preparation
composed Of mixture of five gallons
OF water with one gallon Of fine slaked
lime, to which about a gallon Of salt
has been added, is made, and
when the water has dissolved
as much lime as It can, It is
poured over the eggs until they
are entirely covered, keeping back any
lime that may be at the bottom which
has not been dissolved. The eggs may
be kept in this manner for a very long
period, but one drawback to this sys-
tenn is that the shells of the eggs be-
come so brittle that they break with
the slightest touch. II is necessary to
keep adding a little lime from time to
time, otherwise the preparation will
lose its effect, and the eggs will not
be In very good state when the time
comes for them to be taken out When
the eggs are wanted for use, they are
taken out Of the solution and wiped
dry, but they should be used as coon
after as possible. as they do not keep
very long. 1t may here be said, and
this applies to all methods OF presery-
Ing eggs, that 1t is absolutely essential
that the eggs shall be put down quite
fresh-if possible, the same day as laid
otherwise they will not preserve
nearly as we'll.
Another method adopted is that of
placing the eggs In salt. This keeps
the eggs in splendid condition, but
there is slight taste given to them,
but 1t is not by any means disagree
able. The salt absorbs little mois-
ture from the interior of the egg, hence
the inside becomes rather loose. and
as there Is rattle when shaken, It
gives one the idea that the egg is stale.
Another method In common use in
some parts Of the country Is that of
making mixture OF sulphur and lamp
black. The eggs are placed into box
with small hole In one side, and the
mixture referred to is put upon
saucer and lit inside the box. The
eggs are by this means entirely COW
cred over with covering OF black:
and 1t Is claimed for this system that
the eggs can be kept for any length
OF time, and always be quite fresh and
sweet Whether this Is a good method
or not. can best be judged by the read
ers. Personally. we do not recommend
1t, as the eggs being quite black would
not increase their market value-rather
the reverse.
There are other systems adopted in
various parts, but the ones that we
nave given are the chief English ones.
There is another by which It is claimed
eggs can be kept fresh for long time

and that is by dipping them into wax
or paraffine; but this Is tedious meth
cd. and one that involves much time
and labor.
The very best way of preserving eggs
is by freezing them. and this is the
only way, we think, by which eggs can
be kept quite fresh and good or course
there are very few poultry keepers who
are able to do this as very few possess
freezing chamber. and are thus able
to freeze their eggs. For this reason
we have put 1t last. as to the ordinary
poultry keeper 1t is quite useless.
Too much Importance cannot be at
tached to having the eggs perfectly
fresh when they are put down. and I'M
less they are in this state they will
never keep. No egg should be put
down that is more than twenty-four
hours old, and even less than this is
advisable.
As to whether fertile or infertile
eggs are the better for preserving, it is
difficult matter to determine. We
think-and several experiments that
have been made go to prove it--that
the infertile ones are the most suit
able.
