From cans to caps, no workers
handle milk as it goes through the
mecnanieal processes of pasteuri-
cation and homogenization until it
Is finally bottled and capped.
The full bottles are ready for
storage or delivery in only a few
seconds after the raw milk comes
to the company in cans from the
dairy farms. The first preliminary
steps OF dairying need no expla-
nation, because everyone knows
how milk is extracted from the
COW. However, there have been
some few jokes about the cost of
cream exceeding that of milk
since the bottles were smaller and
harder for the cows to fill.
First the cans of raw milk are
unloaded from the trucks and sent
inside the plant where they are
emptied. The milk is pumped up
stairs to the holding tank from
which it comes down to the short
time pasteurizer. In the pasteur-
izer, the milk is raised to 161 de-
grees to kill all bacteria.
The next process is homogeniza-
ton, by which 1000 pounds of
pressure is applied to break the
fat down and cause it to be u
pended in the milk. In other
words, it keeps the cream evenly
divided throughout the bottle of
milk.
After this final process the milk
Is pumped upstairs to a storage
tank, before finally coming back
down to a bottle filler. AS each
bottle passes on its way to the
filling machine, a girl checks it
through a large magnifying glass
to see that it has been properly
cleansed. If a film or other i'm
perfection is found on the bottle, it
Is taken off the conveyor and put
to one side.
When the bottle is filled with the
pasteurlzed, homogenized milk, it
is then capped by machine. Two
women stand on each side of the

many of the schools are dropping
milk from the menu.
Advocates of the continuing Use

By THE REV. d r
j. HOWELL

Author of the Book of Wilmington
1t was considered to be a great
honor for Wilmington to have as
a visitor the Chief Executive OF
the Confederacy. He came on
Thursday, November 5th, 1863, A
day which was destined to live
in vivid memory with the citizens
of the town. Wilmington then was
a port of large importance. be-
cause through it there flowed the
largest part of the commerce in
foreign imports that we're pro-
cured for the Confederate govern
ment and people. On this account,
President Jefferson Davis wished
to pay his respects to it by a
visit. It was known for some time
that he was coming, and all due
preparations were made to re-
ceive the distinguished guest.
Wilmington was then in the
midst of its great blockade-run-
ming traffic with England and the
West Indies, and its wharves were
stacked with munitions of wal and
necessary articles of food and
clothing which the Confederate
States could not produce for them
selves in the stress of war. The
Confederate government appreci
ated the value of this commerce.
and gave it's utmost aid in the
work of f%ortifying and protecting
the port. AS is we'll known, there
were numerous forts and batteries
along the Cape Fear and ocean
fronts to cover the entry of the
blockade-runners. All these were
very effective, and for a long time
the traffic of the port was almost
continuous. Wilmington then was
n high favor with the govern
ment.
The President was coming up
from the south, and on Wednes-
day, the 4th, a delegation went
to Florence. South Carolina, to
meet him and to offer to him the
hospitality of Wilmington. The
next day the party were in Viii
having arrived by the
Wilmington & Manchester railroad
at its depot on the west side of
the river opposite Princess street.
The great day was ushered in
by a salute at Z o'clock by South
erland's battery. which was then
stationed here. The commander of
the district, Major General W. H.
c. Whiting, and his staff were at
the depot to meet the President.
There were also the mayor of the
city and a further contingent of
the citizens to greet the President.
1t was said that his reception at
the depot was very cordial and
greatly appreciated by him.
When the party crossed the
river and landed at Market dock,
they found Market street crowded
with people from the river to Sec
ond street; for it was known that
the President was to speak On the
balcony of General Writings resi-
dence on the north side of Market
street between Front and Second.
General Whiting had invited the
President to be his guest; for they
had been lifelong friends, and
ere would be much in the way
Of military affairs that they would
discuss together. They were both

had entrusted the military securi-

ty of the city largely to the care
Of the general.
The President promptly ap-
peared on the second-story balco-
ny, and faced a multitude of peo-
pie who were waiting before him
to see and hear him. 1t was an
enthusiastic crowd. Wilmington
was having a great day.
William A. Wright, a prominent
attorney of the city, stood first to
speak. He welcomed the President
and expressed with pride the feel
ing of security enjoyed by the citi-
zens, because of the efficient forti-
fications roundabout under the
command of the capable General
Whiting.
President Davis, tall and digni-
fled, responded by expressing his
pleasure in being so warmly well
coined in Wilmington. He made a
fine reference to the city's de-
lenses and to General Whiting. He
referred to the city as the
ancient and honored town of Will
mington." He said he was familiar
with the importance of the har-
Dor, which was then the only one
through which trade was carried
on with the outside world. He
praised General Whiting as one of
the best soldiers in the Confeder-
ate army, and n who had been
tried in battle with honor. He
promised additional soldiers to aid
in the defense of the city in case
of attack by the enemy. Then he
spoke of the great struggle Of the
States, and called upon
everybody to do his part in bring
ing success to the cause-for the
independence and pros
Of the Confederacy." Thus,
in eloquent words, he appealed to
the people to make their sacri-
and command their efforts
achieving final victory and
His oratory was fine and
impressive.
He said he had been at Charles
ton and heard the daily thunder
of great guns against Fort Sum-
ter; but the old fort still stood,
grim, dark and silent.ns Fort Fish
err also still stood confidently. He
complimented North Carolina,
stating that the old State was
to the fullest degree to the
Confederacy; he exclaimed,
From great Bethel first to Chick
amauga last, the blood of North
Carolinians has been shed and
their valor illustrated" (The bat
tie of Chickamauga, Tennessee,
had been fought only a few weeks
before.),
Davis's voice was described to
be full, round and sonorous." his
slightest accents being distinctly
audible at the utmost verge OF the
very large crowd assembled" The
people often cheered h i m vlgor-
ously. Il
By nine O'Clock the speech had
been delivered, and the street was
cleared. The people had heard
their honored President, and were
ready to go along with him to
the end of the great conflict. 1t
would not be difficult to appreci-
ate the intense interest of the oc-
casion, because great undertake
ings were involved and deep
feelings stirred.
President Davis rested the bal
ance of the day. The next day
