After describing new machine for cooling
milk, by which cold air is pumped into the
milk, and alludng to the unwilingness of far
mers to assume the labor and trouble neces-
sary to cool their milk when in hurry to get
1t to the factory, the Rural New Yorker says:


The matter should be made compulsory on
all parties delivering milk. Hot weather is
now at hand, and until the last Of August we
are likely to have vast deal Of second-rate
cheese simply from inattention to the treat
ment OF milk before it arrives at the factory.


1t has been demonstrated repeatedly that
the cooling and aeration of milk at the farm
and as soon as drawn from the cow, puts it
IN condition to keep sound for much
longer period than when no such treatment
Is had. 1t has been repeatedly proved that
during the carting of warm milk to the factory
it decomposes rapidly, and not unfrequently
in hot weather, becomes putrid and rotten.
Floating curds are the result of such milk,
and all could have been avoided had the milk
been cooled and aerated as soon as drawn
from the COW. To charge the manufacturer
with the fault of floating curds and poor
cheese under such circumstances, is unmit-
igated abuse, and yet we not unfrequently
hear Of cases of this kind, and where the
patrons have resorted to law to compel the
manufacturer to make good the loss on such
cheese. We believe that cheese makers should
be held responsible for their work when they
have good material to handle; but to compel
them to bear the loss on rotten milk caused
by neglect of patrons, is not much better than
robbery, to say the least.


| No one but those who have had experience
in the manufacture of bad milk can appre-
ciate the vexation in the manipulation and the
trouble the curds and cheese will sometimes
give. If fpatrons could have realizing sense
of this side of the question, they would be
the more ready to adopt means for improve
ment.


Again; every factory that sends out i'll
favored or defective cheese, not only loses
in reputation and in money receipts, but by
throwing such goods upon the market, the
sale and price of fine cheese are more or less
affected


The great variety of apparatus now to be
had for cooling and aerating milk, its cheap
ness, and the benefits which accrue from its
use, demands a more general introduction, it
would seem than it now obtains. We hope
factory men and all others interested in the
improvement of American cheese dairying,
will urge forward this movement, for it is
one which can be adopted at once with profit.

A recent number of the Herala OF
Health contains an article on "Gold en-
Drip Sirup," a commodity that is much
used in Detroit, and as the author
seems to have given the subject care
ful investigation, we give his concla-
sions for the benefit of those who love
this kind of sweetening. He says that
it has long been known to chemists
that variety of sugar could be made
from common starch, saw-dust, cotton
or woody fiber of any kind by treating
it with sulphuric acid The sugar thus
produced is called grape sugar, and two
and a half pounds are required to equal
one of cane sugar in sweetness.


For some years this kind of sugar
has been used in the manufac ture Of
candy and Of alcoholic liquors, and
number of manufactures have been es-
tablished in this country. He says
the greatest fraud seems to be in the
article known as the golden drip sir
up. This sirup is very superior in ap-
pearance, but often contains not the
slightest trace of cane sugar, being
made entirely from saw lust, paper,
rags, search, aud other similar trash,
treated with sulphuric acid. This sir
up can always be distinguished from
the genuine by its reaction with an in
fusion Of tannin. AS tea-leaves con-
tain large amount of tannin, a very
convenient test is to put small guam
tity of the sirup into little strong tea,
and if the slrup is not pure the liquid
will become black upon being stirred.


Tests of this kind have frequently
been made, and the mixture invariably
became as black as ink, revealing the
spurious character of sirup. Some Of
it was also made into molasses can dy,
which, upon being eaten, turned the
teeth and tongues Of the eaters very
black. To place the matter beyond
doubt, specimen was sent to DR.. Rose,
professor of the Michigan University
at Ann Arbor, who, after a careful
chemical analysis of the sirup, reported
that the sugar it contained was not
cane but grape sugar. He stated also,
that beside grape sugar the sirnp con-
tanned large proportion Of sulphuric
acid, to. ether with some iron and
little tannin, and must have made
either from old rags, boiled with sui
phuric acid in iron vessels, or from
sawdust treated in the same way.

MONTREAL, August 5.-To-night at an

resolutions came up:


Resolred, That the honor of our coun-

accusations Of corruption made against
the government on the subject of the
Pacific railway be Immediately submit
ted to a thorough investigation; that
any delay in the prosecution of this in
quiry viii seriously compromise the dig
nity of the crown and the interests of
the people.


Resolued, That the commons, by APP
pointing during the present session OF
parliament a committee of chosen mem
bers to make the inquiry, has followed
the immemOrial usage of the commons
in England. and that any Intervention
Of the executive who are implicated in
these accusations, for the purpose of
Withdrawing from the house the eXeT-
else Of this undoubted right, must be
considered as s dangerous attempt to
deprive the people of their most precious
constitutional guarantees Of freedom.


ResOlred, That the delays that up to
this time have retarded the inquiry have
created throughout the country lament
able uneasiness and anarchy, which can
only be calmed by a public and solemn
inquest; that in consequence petit
tion, based on these resolutions, be pre-
scented TO the governOr-general, praying
him not to prorogue parliament until
the commons have had an OppOrtunity
Of fully satisfying public opinion on the
subject Of these charges.

ing it to take into serious consideration
the necessity Of proceeding without de-
Law, when il shall meet on the thirteenth
instant, to an inquiry into the accusa-
tions brought against the government,
