A New Treatment of Milk to Prevent its Turning Sour.
I, JOHN FRANCE, of Hay-green House, Marsden, near Huddersfield, Yorkshire,
Poor Rate Collector, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
My invention in reference to milk consists in a new means or method of treating
milk so as to preserve its sweetness, and prevent it from turning sour, irrespective of
age or the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. To carry out my invention
and attain the above named object, I make the milk aerated, and keep it in an air tight
vessel somewhat in the same manner as mineral waters are treated. If such aerated
milk is placed into bottles containing internal stoppers, the gases arising from the
milk will force the stoppers against the outlet, so as to keep the bottle air tight, or
such areated milk may be placed into barrels, and sealed up.
By this means, milk will not turn sour consequently it will be found to be a great
public benefit.

I JOHN FRANCE of Haygreen House Marsden near Huddersfield, Yorkshire,
Poor Rate Collector, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement:-
My invention has reference to a new means or method of treating milk so as to
preserve its sweetness and to prevent it from turning sour, irrespective of age, or the.
temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.
In order to carry out my invention and attain the above named object, I take
any quantity of milk which it is desired to preserve for a length of time, and charge
it with carbonic acid gas in the same way in which mineral waters are aerated.
If such aerated milk is placed into bottles containing internal stoppers, the gases
arising from the said milk will force the stoppers against the outlet and thereby keep
the bottle air tight, or such aerated milk may be placed into barrels and scaled up.
By aerating milk and bottling it as above set forth it is prevented from turning
sour, irrespective of age, or the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere, whereby
.it will be found to be a great public benefit.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of iny invention and
in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I claim is:-
The treatment of milk by charging it with carbonic acid gas or otherwise aerating
it, for the purpose of preserving its sweetness and preventing it turning sour
substantially as herein set forth.
