140 A New Dairy Industry. 



shape to allow the adjusting of the feeding nipple 

 immediately after removing the stopper shortly before 

 warming and using the milk. Although small steril- 

 izing apparatus exist, and may be bought, yet, for 

 reasons previously demonstrated, they can by no 

 means be considered as giving the same security of a 

 dairying and sterilizing establishment, and German 

 scientists agree that the manufacture of infants' milk 

 cannot be conducted with any degree of success in 

 the household of the consumer, or by parties not per- 

 fectly versed in the functions or properties of the dif- 

 ferent ingredients and equipped with the most perfect 

 appliances that will insure the production of an article 

 of uniform composition and merit. 



Other reasons pointing toward the advisability of 

 entrusting a larger establishment with the manufac- 

 ture of infants' milk are that — 



1. By the use of the cream separator a large percent- 

 age of the most noxious germs are retained in the bowl 

 of the machine, imbedded in the separator slime. 



2. The percentage of fat contained in the fresh 

 milk, to be converted into infants' milk, can be ascer- 

 tained and regulated daily before and after manu- 

 facturing the infants' milk. 



:'. All mixtures are performed with greater accurate- 

 ness and precision, because everything is done by 

 exact weight and measure, and not by table or tea- 

 spoonfuls. 



4. All mixing, sterilizing and cleansing is done 

 more efficiently, quicker and cheaper.
