 pp. ')'t5-5(}S, fiy^. l.'i). — This is the first annual report of the institute, which 

 was established on the plan of the Gouttes de Lait in France, with the ol^ject 

 of reducing the death rate of infants in the city of Melbourne and surrounding 

 municipal districts due to insanitary milk in Ihe summer months. There is 

 also an account by J. M. B. Connor of the equipment and methods adopted at 

 the model dairy farm which supjilies the milk distributed by the institute. 



During the 5 months the institute was distributing milk. 300 infants were 

 supplied, of whom only 8 died, a remarkable showing when it is considei-ed 

 that a majority when first put on the milk were already suffering from troubles 

 caused by impure milk. 



Mountain dairying, L. Funder (Norsk Landmandshlad, 28 (1909), No. 38, 

 pp. 465-467). — An article containing a brief account of present methods of

 Cream., 2S (1909). No. 2.J, itp. 1016, 1018, 1020, 1022, figs. '/).— A short sketch 

 of the development of the condensed milk industry in this country, which began 

 in 1850. 



In 1880 there were 1,1,0(10,000 lbs. of condensed milk manufactured; in 181)0, 

 33,000.000; in 1900, 187,000,000; in 1905, 303,000,(M)() ; and it will probably reach 

 500,000,000 lbs. in 1909. The amount exported amounts to about 25,000,000 lbs. 

 annually, and the amount imported to about 7,000.000 lbs. Figures are quoted 

 to show that by paying better prices for milk, condenseries usually take business 

 away from creameries and cheese factories.

 No. 2.5, p. 998). — Estimates are given for the cost of creamery construction and 

 equipment for cooperative creameries such as are in successful operation in 

 Oklahoma. There is an itemized list of the equiinnent necessary for a daily 

 capacity of 1,800 lbs. of butter. The entire cost of such a creamery is estimated 

 to be for equipment $1,180.70, for freight on equipment $100, for cost of install- 

 ing machinery $70, for buildiiig the boiler and refrigerator room $1,600, and 

 for water supply and sewerage $200, making a total of $8,150.70.
