PAsTEURIzED MILK IN FAVOR
Great Advantage In Proesss 10 70 In
sure Freedom From Disease
produeinu 0reanissns.

Tho great advantage In pasteurixtng
market milk is to insure it, freedom
tom disease-producing organisms.
This is . point which II constantly
brought forward In favor Of pasteurisa-
tion of milk. OF course the pasteurixed
milk will have better keeping quail
ties than the same milk that has not
been pasteurized and Of course this
is an advantage from the standpoint
Of the milk dealer. and is also an ad-
vantage to the milk consumer.
Outside the cost of the process,
there are practically no disadvantages
connected with the pastcurization OF
milk This Is especially true with the
way pasteurization Is conducted today.
There 10 absolutely no doubt but that
milk properly pasteurized and prop
erly handled subsequent thereto is
Just as healthful food for children
as we'll as for adults as is raw milk.
Most Of the commercial pasteuriza-
ton Of market milk at the present
time is done by heating the milk to-
145 degrees for approximately thirty
minutes. This temperature and time
of exposure does not change the milk
physically or chemically to any appre-
ciable extent. If milk Is heated to
higher temperatures or for longer Pc
RODS of time, the creaming powers
of the milk will be influenced-that Is,
the heated milk will cream less rapid
ly and somewhat less completely than
the raw milk. The milk will also ac-
quire, which is Objectionable to many
people, what is known as the cooked
taste 1t is not probable that the nu-
tritive value of the milk is injured:
in fact. at the present time many ply.
sicians advocate the heating OF chill
dren's milk to the boiling point.
