FILTERED MTt.lt,

A BENEFIT TO THE COMMUNITY

Milk is one of our most valuable foods and ia used many times daily in all homes, and consequently the public are anxious to secure the best milk obtainable. Milk that is neither fresh nor clean is a menace to young and old, and everv care should be taken to ensure a guaranteed fresh and clean supply, and also to know that the milk supplied is obtained from a healthy herd. The methods used in the past do not necessarily mean that milk is clean and free from sediment. The latest method of producing clean milk is a new invention—a niter—which filters the milk as it passes through a container fitted with fine gauze discs. hiiJ m this process the properties of the milk arc not disturbed and there is neither heating nor pastuerisation. The filter is simple and most hygienic and is sterilised in boiling water after each inilkin« —also tlie milk has the added benefit of never being under pressure. By this filtering the milk is absolutely guaranteed free from any dirt or sediment—samples taken and put to the "sediment test" are absolutely pure and clean.

This wonderful method of producing "filtered milk" inspected bv a "Star" reporter at Mr. C. M. Peck's dairy farm at Three Kings. It is interesting to note that Mr. Peck started a small round with a herd of four cows 11 years ago, and to-day he milks well over 100. This fine achievement has been obtained by giving satisfaction to the consumer. Personal supervision, good farming methods, ex ccllent herd management, attention to detail and cleanliness, rapid transport and love of his work have enabled Mr. Peck to supply the very best milk obtainable.

Particular importance must be given to the following essentials which are all embodied on Mr. Peck's farm: The pastures are excellent and most extensive; ample and pure water supply. The cows are young, being mostly Jersey and Jersey cross, ideal milkers, and a glance at their sleek coats gives evidence that they have been particularly well wintered. A special feature is that all the milkine is done by hand, which ensure? that the milk has never l>cen tinder pressure, and consequently the milk has greater keeping qualities than milk which has been produced by machines

The "All White" fleet of motors and floats convey the morning's milk to practically all suburbs, thus obviating any delay in prompt delivery.

Mr. Peck's milk is recommended h\ many doctors and Plunket nnrs="~Parents are assured of a regular, pure, filtered fresh milk service, and their babies and children can have the mill: within an hour or two from the timeit leaves the cow. It is milk that contains no dirt, no sediment, and is froch A trial supply can be obtained by ringing 'phone 20-GOl, or writ inj to C. M. Po-i.
