FROM THE PRACTICAL VIEWPOINT 



beer. More cooling tanks or additional showers 

 are therefore required. 



In a rather new machine, not shown in this book, 

 the bottles are placed in a thoroughly insulated box 

 or compartment, where they are subjected to a 

 shower of water, the temperature of which is in- 

 creased or decreased at will by proper regulating 

 devices on the outside of the apparatus. It is 

 claimed that with this outfit the heating and cool- 

 ing is rapidly accomplished, and that the com- 

 plete insulation of the compartment prevents the 

 loss of heat. It is also said that, for the same rea- 

 son, the same apparatus can be used as a cold 

 storage box, and the treated milk can be allowed 

 to remain in the apparatus after the completion 

 of the process till it is ready to be taken out for 

 delivery. These claims would seem to make it an 

 especially desirable outfit for small dealers, and 

 for dairymen in or near the cities where the milk 

 is to be sold. 



The objections which are advanced against 

 the process of bottle pasteurization are, first, that 

 the cap which it is necessary to use upon the bot- 

 tles in order to secure a tight seal is expensive; 

 too much so to warrant its use upon milk which is
