An industry which is likely to revolutionise the dairy dried industry is being eamilk. tabliehed close to outdoors. This is the Just Hatmaker process of solidifying milk. By this means milk is converted into a solid cake which when diluted with the ueeessaiy proportion of water is converted back to its original state. By.the Just Hatmaker process the liquid milk is whisked round polished cylinders kept at a fierce heat by steam, and comes off in a few seconds in the form of a continuous creamy-white sheet sft. in width. This is reduced to powder, and may be compressed into cakes. The feature of the product is that it is still potentially milk—the whole milk and nothing but the milk—and to make new milk at any time it is only necessary to add the seven parts of water which have been evaporated. The result is said to be difficult to distinguish from fresh milk. Its cream rises naturally and it may be made into butter or cheese. The powder and cakes keep indefinitely, and samples have been sent round the world and kept for three weeks in Shanghai, returning quite fresh. Obviously it is impossible to water, skim or adulterate solid milk, and a fact to which the inventors attach extreme importance is that all attempts to cultivate microbes on it have failed. Arrangements have been made in the Manawatu district for a thorough trial of the process.
