PASTEURISED MILK AND WHEV.

DAIRY COMMISSIONER'S VIEWS. At tliij National Dairy Show at Palmerston .North-yesterday Mr.'' Cuddio, dairy commissioner,: submitted , a carofully-proparod and ,vdry .'extensive-paper entitled. "Somo Aspeots of; the Dairy' Industry.", ' Inter alia, Mr. Cuddie stated.that:— Tho point of importance to be gained in pasteurising by-products, at a dairy factory was the prevention of. the //.spread of disease among calves , , and ; pigs, .-'more ospecially . the' latter. It ;' had bocn proved elsewhere that, in addition to the pre r volition of disease, tiio > fowling value of'both whey,: and skim, milk could be greatly improyod by heating to tho desired temperature; Another advantage, that, should not be,lost sight of, was the benefits to be derived from the, •purifying .effectwhich'tho, hot liquid had' on ,tho tanks; into which it was'run before de- ; livery-' to'' the'■ millt suppliers,' and '. that;'rev .ntark applied to the miflc cans also. Under the. existing conditions, it was certain that much of 1 - tho troublo at the factories with inferior -milk'.was .due. to tho ,milk; cans being . pollutedjby conveyance, of impure whey' ;back- i tq'th^i"farms'from : evil-smelling and, dirty/.tanks', "which '.wore seldom . cleaned:' as. ; they"should be".': ;:Tho principal pasteurisation' by : many dairy .farmers had been on the score of increased expenditure at the, fact-orips, tho ; contention' being that .tho fuel bill'would be increased'enormously. . ' . '.In order to prove that the worlc could bo carried, out ;at a very moderate'.expense, ar-' rangoments . were made ,witli the -Hawera Dairy Company to pasteurise'the whev with direct steam';at' the• company'b'centraj' factory' for. several days. "A. similar arrangement was madb. with tbo'-Ballance Dairy. Company. , in. regard to the skim milk,'with the exception that a modern pasteuriser was installed for tho purpose.' From the reporta supplied by Instructors Singleton'.' and Peterson, it had been: proved, that, tho ,6ost of the pasteurisation i could not be raised as an objection •to the introduction of.the system.as applied to tho ,by-prbductSi':- ■; When. the exhaust•, steam, heat'; the skim ; milk, : the expense" fori fiiel jwas reduced .'almost to' nil.; Worked' out'.Qn a basis of cost for fuel per pound of .-and'-'tanng- that~; : at v 3.9, iwhioh-was-tho:iiVerago test of' mills sup- 5 plied- to; factories in'. New : Zealand, - it. would !only moali an expenditure , of' 0,025 d. -per pound of fat when- direct steam 'was' used in' tho pasteuriser. • ; /Utilising • the --'exhaust steam, and calculating oh the, samb" basis," it was found , that the - 'cost. works;, out. . at. 0.0033 d. per pound of fat in'tho whole milk. In' the case, of heating; the milk :with' a jet of . steam direct into tno liquid, the cost per pound of fat was 0.041Gd. .'•,•■ It was, of course, not .oxpected that the. pasteurising ; of the .skim milk and., whey at every factory could be done for quite such a low." price' as this,. but it . might; be men: itioned ; .that: in the experiments referred to there .were no special advantages at the factories; whore-the ..work.;was dono which would tend to cheapen the actual cast; .therefore, .it rwas',fair- : : to assume : that. t.pasteurisation' cquld -bb carried on' at any, ordinary factory' 'with; equal > ;economy, provided : reasonable bar'o,-was.;.taken to'. prevent ."waste. './.The speaker s then; covered details' and:costs of various pasteurisation experiments; . ; ,- Mr. Iteakes said, that the number of tubercular, cattle in Now Zealand was increasing by'one percent, per annum; and in pigs even greater. .The culling out of dangerous cows should bo persevered with, but. he did hot advocate .wholesale slaughter on .tho tuberculin test. He had lately had an interesting experience of : the value of pasteurising. An owner'of Bcveral dairy herds supplying milk to his own factory had tho'misfortune to have tnberculosiß. ih.his herd. Last year he'had' threo.'lots. of pigs killed under: inspection; and the results 1 gave ft tuberculin percentage; of 61 per. cent, for the, first lot] 69 por /ceht. for tho scc'ond lot, and 100, per cent. . for ; ;the"third'lot. ' This year..thb 'siime gentleman pasteurised the skim - .milk,"" and thb'jesults ! on tho'. pigs wore very .striking Tlie pigs .were bred from the same stock and kept ''in; the same "styes: the only difference' was. that tho separated milk fed to them was. paatouried.- Tno results : disclosed .by ".the killing of five lots gave only the. following' small tuberculous percentageslo.7 per cent.)' 0 per cent., 0 per cent., 0 per ccnt.', 10 per cent., and 11.1 por cent. In the courso of discussion' on the two 1 papers,-the opinion was expressed'that the' : dairy : industry ought to put - confidence in the,' advicb of the Dairy Commissioner -and Mr. Keakes and pasteurise tho skim milkend whey at .%11 tho factories: . ■ ' .. One speaker pressed the Commissioner to give any instance in which tho price reeeived;for.pasteurised butter justified t-he' outlay or'was.oven .any'greater than that for ' unpasteurised butter. Mr. Cuddio replied that lie did-not receive actual returns,-' but it was a well'understood fact, admitted-long' ago',, that pasteurising paid. '
