KEEPING QUALITY OF MILK
As an experiment a can of milk was recently railed from Tuinplaats, 80 miles north-east of Pretoria (South Africa), to Durban and then back to a Pretoria dairy, travelling a distance of 957 miles in 63 hours, and on arrival at its destination in Pretoria it was declar- I ed fit for consumption. When the milk arrived at Durban on the outward journey it was tested and passed as first-grade. At no time was any special care given to the can by the railways. Mr Henry Nourse sponsored the experiment to prove that the keeping quality of milk depends, above all, on the method of production and careful attention to cleanliness in the handling and milking.
