ways of sterilizing milk. It may, be
sterilized by means of heat, cold or che-
micals. In order to sterilize milk by
means of heat it is necessary to raise
its temperature to that of !wiling water,
cooling it down and reheating it threw:
lines in succession. Ordinarily it is •tot
necessary to sterilize the milk, nor ►s
it desirable if butter is to be made there-
from, but it is sufficient to heat it to a
temperature of from 150 to 180 degrees
Fahrenheit, and then cooling it down
suddenly to a temperature of about 82
degrees. This procclks Is called pasiu-

ling all the bacteria It contains, thus
producing whist may be termed a clean

create after it has been heated to 180
degrees Fahrenheit should be cooled et
once Ls because heating to that temper-
ature doers not destroy all of the bac-
teria, and if it cools slowly those re-
nuaining in the cream would soon mul-
tiply to such an extent as to influence
lite ripening process later on. And, be-
sides, if it is not cooled quickly the
Witter acquires a cooked taste.
There are now on the market appose -

divided inl•t Iwo classes, continuous and
intermittent pasteurizers. Each kind
