PEESEEVED MILK.

We are glad to note that an item appears to havo been lately added to our list of manufactures, or preparations, perhaps, we should rather say. From an advertisement in our front page it will be seen that a farmer at the North Shore haa bit upon a plan of preparing milk in such manner as to ensure its perfect soundness for a period of two years. We hare been shown a sample of the milk thus prepared, which we were assured had been in bottle for five months, and it wai certainly not in any respect to be distinguished from new milk, and was perfectly sweet, and without the peculiar nauseous flavour attaching to all preserved milks we have hitherto tasted. Mr. Wallis, the inventor of the process, supplied the * Galatea' with a large quantity of it, and haa entered iuto contracts with several of our sea-going steamer* for a regular supply. At present the method of preservation is a secret, as Mr. Wallis has not yet protected his right; bub the taste of the article assures us that boiliug has nothing to do with it, and we are told that the inventor spent onsiderable time artd capital both here aud at Canterbury in experimentalising on the subject before he arrived at the satisfactory result we have the pleasure of now noting.
