Rensselaer Republican, Volume 15, Number 25, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 March 1883 — Solid Milk. [ARTICLE]

Solid Milk.

To make condensed milk, the milk is subjected to a heat of some 230 degrees, which, it is said, scalds it. .By a new process the heat is only about 130 degrees, and the product is called evaporated milk. When the time of exposure to that moderate heat is sufficiently prolonged all the watery part of the milk is driven off and the remnant is a tough, solid mass, creamy white in color, and much resembling a dried chunk of white " flour dough. That is granulated by artificial means; a little line white sugar is added to make it keep, and then it looks like corn meal, and is called granulated milk. The evaporated milk is only about half as near solid as the condensed milk, but it is Very rich and so little affected by the process through which it has passed that when water is added the most delicate taste cannot detect the difference between it and pure natural milk; cream rises on it and butter can be made from >t. The granulated is made to keep in all climates for any desired length of time. A San Francisco reporter visited the Sub-Treasury there, and gazed with undisguised covetousness upon the $31,oOV.OOO of coin piled sack upon sack in. the spacious vaults. Here are his afterthoughts: ‘’lt is good to contemplate all thus vast amount of wealth, for. although it may bo bey.nd the measure of one’s happiness to possess it. he can, at lenst. enjoy the beatitude experienced by a one-year-old e did sitting before a plate of can put his hands in it, and delight iA tin.* sensation.” A letter from |h*.ris says: ‘*The women of France. uid espc. jallv those of the upper classes, arc ncWc devout uqw'aouW than they Lave L tm for a p.fi<»ratiun before/’
