The Featherston Dairy Factory.

To the Editor of the Standard. Sir, —I have read Mr Murray Jackson's letter and Mr Coleman Phillips’ reply. 1 was lot some time manager of the Greytown Dairy Factory, and I wish to say that I never found any trouble with the morning’s mill; ns to its going sour, as Mr Jackson states. And as to the evening’s milk, there is no trouble with that either if farmers are particular to scald ont their cans and keep the milk standing in c water over night. I am, (fee,. G. Shaw. Greytown, July 23,1887. To the Editor of the Standard, Sib,—ln reply to Mr Phillips, re milk turning sour Ac., I beg to say that I have been taking milk to the Greytown Cheese Factory for font season.,, uud I have rover had any turn sour—that is, morning’s milk. My place is about three miles from the factory, bat 1 sometimes have to travel five miles with it. The only milk delivered at the factory sour was evening’s milk placed in cans and left all night in close muggy weather. Mr S. Hart ’ his milk to the factory last summer ire tivo to six miles, and delivered it in good order. There is ao danger in carting milk live or six miles directly after milking, even in rammer, WLe e the danger of milk turning i soar is when it is put in cans and left to stanu j sav for four or five hours without ventilation or cooling. If you are going to send milk k , hmg journey you must cool it before starting, o;herwise it will go bad if not sour. Tours, A«,, 1 W. Umt.
