 CONDITIONS ESSENTIAL FOR A MILK CONDENSERY (U. S. Dept. 



Agr. 1 ) 



First. The plant should be located in a community which is 

 not only thoroughly adapted in every way to a high standard of 

 extensive dairy farming but is already far advanced in such 

 development. The herds of cows should be large, healthy, well 

 cared for, and of a breed or breeds that produce a grade of milk 

 reasonably adapted for condensing purposes and the production 

 of a standard product. 



Second. In establishing a plant for condensing milk by the 

 vacuum process it is of primary importance that the location 

 provide an abundant, steady supply of pure, cold water, inde- 

 pendent of the supply required for boiler use. The quantity of 

 water required to condense a given quantity of milk will, of 

 course, vary with the operating conditions, such, for example, 

 as the temperature of the condensing water and the temperature 

 (or the pressure) of the vapor to be condensed. A general idea 

 of the importance of water supply can be obtained from the
