MfLK-rANS — Gr.Ass vs. Zinc. — ll may not be uiiiiitrresting to many of your readers to 

 have llic result of some experitxieiits I have made testing the quMlity of glass versun zinc 

 niiik-pans. I have i)iit it in a tahnlar form, wliich yon will 8nl)join to this letter if you 

 deem llie matter vvoilhy of a place in your columns. By this it will l)i> seen tliat about from 

 'Mi to .50 l>oi' cent, more cream can be raised IVom milk set in glass than milk set in zinc. 

 AMiv sliould this lie '. I can only account lor it by the fact of the ghiss being [leileclly puro 

 and free from any chemical action u[)on tlie milk. The glass pans are the manulactiue of 

 Messrs. .lames Hartley vt Co., 43 U[>i)er Thames-street. Geokgk \V. Kirkiiy. 



Honifurd Dairy, Old-stroel Road. 



r. S. — I think a greater proportionate quantity of cream can be raised from small than 

 from large glass pans. 



[English paper. 

 AVe hope the above may catch the eye of our friend, ^h-. Dummer, of Jersey City, or 

 .Boine other glass manufacturer who may be disposed to bring this article into use. A pub- 

 lic-spirited friend, an amateur farmer, authorizes us to bespeak two dozen *' anyhow."
