STOCK FARM VETERINARY PRACTICE. 
101 
I had the good fortune to be present at a public meeting of 
the Philadelphia Department of Health last year, in which the 
question was discussed as to which was the best, bottle or bulk 
milk in cans ; the arguments were good on both sides, but the 
bottled milk came out victorious, having everything in its favor, 
and this process is- as far ahead of ordinary bottled milk as 
bottled milk is above that in cans opened in the street every 
block or so. 
The Abbott Dairy of Pennsylvania and the Walker-Gordon 
dairies of New York and Philadelphia put up sterilized or Pas¬ 
teurized milk in sealed bottles, charging a higher price for it, but 
only sell in pints, so you can use most of it at time of opening, 
else if kept it is no better than ordinary milk, and for infant 
feeding the Walker-Gordon people put up Pasteurized milk or 
Pasteurized modified milk in glass tubes, each tube being a meal. 
Thus if you feed the baby eight times in a day you buy eight 
tubes. With our Walker process you have all the tubes in one, 
and what you don’t use to-day can go for to-morrow. 
Gentlemen, I could say much more about the advantages of 
this process for putting a hygienic and safe milk food on the 
market, but I will not take up any more of your time at 
present. 
I thank you for your undivided attention and invite you to 
come up and sample this milk and see the perfection with which 
it is handled.
