Preserving Milk.

On November 16th (says the Melbourne Argus of January 6th,) Mr F. J. Stephen left at this office a bottle of milk, preserved by a new process, which was described as follows Clean thoroughly a glass bottle, milk from the cow into the bottle until full to overflowing. Cork the bottle, and tie it down securely. Place the bottle in a vessel of water and boil. (To prevent the bottle knocking against the side of the vessel the bottle should be covered with a straw capsule.) After which remove the vessel of water with the bottle, and let the whole become cool. It need not be kept m a cool place to secuie its retuaiuiijgjfreßh.” Yesterday the bottle left with u» by Mr Stephen was opened, and a gentleman of largo experience in dairy farming tested the milk and declared it as fresh as if obtained 'from the cow the day before. The color was preserved and there was not the slightest indication that it had been scalded. Mr Stephen, in his letter, diew attention to the value of the process to persona about to travel, and to otheis requiring a constant supply of pure milk, and the test has proved that for six weeks at any rate the condition of the milk submitted to the process is so well maintained that it is impossible to distinguish between it and new milk.
