STANDARDS.

OONDENoEO mtEN AlNbAn
Prof. D. F. Hunziker, head of the
Dairy Department of Purdue Univer-
sity, Indiana, has issued a bulletin
giving the reasons why the United
States standard for condensed milk
should be changed as founded on the
results of his recently conducted ex-
tensive experiments. He says:
There are principally two kinds of
condensed milk sold in Theoretically
sealed tin cans in all parts of the
world, namely:
Sweetened condensed milk and I'M
sweetened evaporated milk.
The chief difference between the
two is the method of preserving
The sweetened condensed milk is
preserved by the addition of consider
able quantities of the best refined
granulated cane sugar; the unsweet-
ened evaporated milk is subjected to
sterilizing temperatures after the cans
are sealed
The Federal standard for both of
these dairy products is the same. That
is, it requires these products to con-
tain % per cent milk solids.
Everybody familiar with dairy pro-
ducts knows that it is possible to con-
dense milk down to dryness, so that
the finished product may contain as
high as 95 per cent or more of milk
solids In the manufacture of dried
milk or milk powder no special meas
ure need be employed to preserve the
product, as the absence of moisture
in it is prohibitive of bacterial growth,
thus preventing fermentation.
Sweetened condensed milk can be
easily prepared containing the re-
uuired % per cent of milk solids. The
great bulk of analyses of this product
show that the milk solids in the
,sweetened product average about 30
per cent.
Unsweetened evaporated milk can
also be condensed to far beyond the
legal requirements, provided that it is
not sterilized subsequently. Most of
the unsWeetened evaporated milk sold
as plain condensed bulk milk contains
as high as 35 and 40 per cent milk SOL
ids. The milk, however, must be con-
sumed at once, as it does not keep
The unsweetened evaporated milk
sold in Theoretically sealed cans is ster-
ilized at temperatures far above the
boiling point. This process is abso-
lutely necessary for the successful
preservation of this class of condensed
milk.
It is generally known and has been
experimentally proven that the al
buminoids of milk are affected by
heat. The albumen of milk starts CO.

care of COWS, care of milk, weather
conditions, etc.
Considering the acidity of milk
alone it is not hard to understand
why the incorporation of too high a
per cent of milk solids in the I'M
sweetened evaporated milk causes dis
astrous results. A high per cent of
milk solids calls for a high degree of
concentration. Let us assume that
the fresh milk contains II per cent
acid. In order to incorporate % per
cent solids it would be necessary to
condense 1-3 parts of fresh milk,
testing IL per cent milk solids, into
1 part of condensed milk. This would
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

increase the per cent of acid in the
condensed milk to IT x 2 1-3 or
1896 per cent acid when exposed to
sterilizing temperatures, such as must
be used in preserving canned milk, is
bound to precipitate it's casein. And
the probability is that the coagulum
is SO firm and insoluble that no me-
chanical device for shaking that can
be made practical, will suffice to break
up this curd fine enough to give the
contents of the cans a smooth and
homogeneous appearance. In other
words, it results in the production of
an article that is not marketable
Furthermore, this curd is poor con-
ductor of heat, and renders complete
sterilization exceedingly difficult. This
means that large per cent of the
cans that come from the sterilizer may
not be sterile, and result in so-called
"swell heads" which are a complete
loss to the manufactures.
The relative proportion of albumin
oids to other solids also affects the be-
havior of the milk during the pro-
cess. Thus, the higher the per cent of
albuminoids, the more difficult it is
to concentrate the milk and make a
marketable product.
In addition to this there are phys
ical and physiological properties of
milk which cannot be analysed chem
ically and the changes Of which are
not detected therefore, in the labora-
tory. These properties are affected
by climate and weather conditions,
seasons of year, breed of COWS, health,
care and feed of COWS, etc. Thus, in
this section of the country (Indiana)
in spring and early summer, it is i'm
possible to put as high per cent of
milk solids into evaporated milk and
make marketable product as in the
fall of the year.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-11-01

the casein, condition necessary for the
natural action of rennet on the casein.
At a temperature of 269 degrees F.
the casein curdles into a hard and in
soluble coagulum. The degree of heat
necessary to curdle the casein, how
ever, is largely governed by the condi-
ton of the milk. Thus the more acid
milk contains the less heat it requires
to curdle the casein. There are many
other and important factors which gov
ern the properties of albuminolds, and
their behavior towards heat such as
season of year, breed of cows, feed and

Southern people are willing to take
their chances on the race question
with the Republican party, whose
unbroken record is one of favora-
tism for the black man over those
of their own blood in the South.
Mr.. Taft is not, we believe, Of that
kind, but stream can not rise above
its source, and Mr.. Taft is not go
ing to break the traditions or the
sentiments of his party,
In concluding the article from
which the above is taken the Post
says, nevertheless, as the minister
said upon receiving from one of his
flock a jar Of branded peaches, we
can appreciate Mr.. Taft's words, not
so much for themselves as for the
spirit in which they are offered, and
we hope to get along famously with
him and thai he will help us to
realize our splendid prospects of
material prosperity, but we can not
accept his kind invitation to vote
his party ticket on the mere assur-
ance from him that the negro will
be nothing between us if we only
let him in on an equal plane with
ourselves. AS long as Mr.. Taft holds
the views he expressed In his New
York speech it is hard to see where
he is a good friend Of the South.

1T is asserted that Mr.. Taft is a
great and good friend of the South
He may be, but, if he is judged by
what he said in recent speech, in
which he advised the people Of the
South to break away from Democra-
cy and vote the Republican ticket,
he has a poor way Of showing It
In that speech he said he recognized
the trouble we have with the race
question, but it will be all right if
we give the negro an equal showing
with the white man to win and then
to exercise the right of suffrage,
and if we voted the Republican tick

South, who have borne the burdcu

to that end alone, and must have
their reward, but, as the Charleston
Evening Post says, we shouldn't
worry about fhat-and we shan't.
The Republican party, he said,
would never attempt to coerce the
South into an acceptance of negro
domination. But, as the Post says,
the Republican party has persist
emily attempted to do that very thing
through Congressional legislation,
one of Mr.. Taft's own very good
friends, Gen. Keifer, of Ohio, hav-
ing been engaged in such an under
taking within the past two years.

States support the negro in any pre-
tensions to social equality. But who

tween the races? That is, of course.
not to be thought of-though it has
been practiced with Celebrations by
Mr.. Taft's own great protector, Mr..
Roosevelt.
Political equality for the negro is
the thing Immediately in considera-
ton. Mr.. Taft thinks that shou d
be assured, as it would be in a
strict and logical Interpretation Of
Ijthe suffrage laws of the Southern
States. But as the Post further says,
it is universally realized and general
Fly admitted that those laws will Re
only temporarily satisfactory to the
Southern people. They serve to keep
the vast majority Of the negroes
from the ballot box now, but they
may not always do that, and 1t is
the determined purpose Of the Soutr-
ern people not merely to keep the
| ignorant negroes from voting but
to deny to the negroes generally
any share of governmental RESPONSE
bility.
That is not the way it Is declared
in the laws, of course, but that is the
way the white men Of the South feel
about it, and there is no use to
gloss it over always, frankly admits
the Post. When Mr. Taft says ther
that we have only to help the ne
gro to become voter and then to
let him vote freely and assure an
equal share Of the political respon-
sibility of the South, he falls so far
short Of the mark that it is scarcely
worth while recording the score OF
his craftsmanship. Few Of the
