We are now considering those difficulties which happen with milk ,which prevent or in any way interfere with profitable use of it. Premature souring of it is one of most common of these, and there are in addition some conditions of the milk by which it is made unwholesome, either for food directly, or when made into cheese. These conditions may be due to causes existing in the cows, or to extraneous ones by which the milk may absorb poisonous matters from the air, to which it: is exposed, or be- come infected by impurities in the wa- ter used in the cleansing of the vessels or utensils used in the dairy. One of the most common of the dairyman’s troubles in the souring of the milk while in process of delivery to consumi- ers in its natural conditions. This may be due to the action of the weather, the hea,t, or the impurity of. the atmosphere. It is not that the milk is made unwh‘olesome, but that it is unsalable and useless for domestic consumption. This happens mostly in the M'arm weather when the heat is excessive, and a process of decomâ€" position goes on in the milk by which its sugar is partly changed into acid, To prevent their souring there have been several remedies proposed, but some of these are notoriously unwholesome, and actually forbid- den by laws providing severe penal- ties of their violation. Such additions to the milk as various preparations of even that of common soda, lest mis- Railway Company.

They receive 7,400 acres of-la‘hd per mile of railway, or in the neighbourhood of 1,500,000 acres. The land is to be laid out in alternate blocks, containing as nearly as may be 148,000 acres each. In cases where the blocks allotted to the com-pony include lands already located or claimâ€" ed’ by settlers or others, the company will be entitled to an equal average elsewhere I FACTORIES AT THE SAULT.

This serious variety of germs can only be killed by the pro- cess,ol' sterilization, that is, heating. the milk to a temperature of 180 deâ€" grees, which is not far below that of boiling, and this heat should be main- tained for a much longer period than that for mere pasteurization. Thirty minutes is the standard time for this process, and in the case of milk for the use of young infants it is always recommended. . We are to consider milk precisely as a means of drainage by which the sys- tem of the cow, is relieved of much mischievous matter that is productive of disease in animals or persons who use the milk, but most especially it is i.he.human infant that suffers seri- ously in those cases in which for un~ avoidable reasons a substitute is nec. essarily used for its natural supply. railway for the timber on the interven- ing blocks in addition to the regular Crown dues.
