en the iMBjfii of Skagway milk,
wktch *i rf|>r ?l TOtlr*.
I haYe leen greatly interred in
reading th?> accounts of the "Pure

Rested to me that per ha pa 1 might

from Skagway, 110 mils* south from
here Our country round White
Hcrv hi not a root] pasture land tn
summer, and he* idea, the mosqui
toes and black fltos are too thick.
In winter onr temperature Is too
low to make it a swrcees -hence 1
the reason of our milk being ship
ped over in tin cans. In the sum
mer time 'his milk will star aweer ,
for fire days, but smells at the end 1
of that time liko choice l.intburger '
In winter yon can keep It cold for
'??Ter a we ?*. but with the same j>e- I
callar odor Both of the dairy men
ifflrm f h ? ? "nothing is put in the *
milk "Is there any simple method
hjr which I might 14 enabled to|
make a test for formaldehyde or !

If yon c.?rc to bother, will you
kindly inform me how to detect !

Place four tablespoonafuls of

acid. toge' her a ith a drop of ferrl<- 1
acid Set the teacup In a dish of '

At th? en 1 of five minutes pure
milk remains practically uneolored,
or ts allnntly vellow, while milk
containing formaldehyde will he of a
distinctly .a vender or purple hne
In the <a?e of the Alaskan milk
JuM noted, the probabflttiea in the
caae are that the evil odor la due to
the formation of certain bacterial
products ruber than to preserva
tives
So far as borax or boric acid Is
concerned, i; is Infrequently found In
American milk
Replying to tbe Intimation that
the milk *hipp*d to Whit? Horse
may contain preservatives, we wiah,
befoie entering Into the probable
causes of the complaint, to ?*J
last this newspaper baa b?n
authorial to offer one thouaand
dollars in cash for proof that any
milk ahlpprd by either of the Ska*
way 'alrymen, ronlalna either a pre
s?>rvatlve or an adulterant of any
kind. The dairymen making the
off?r are reapouaible, and will pay
the money to anyone discovering
that the milk la anything but ab
solutely pure when leaving the ata
t Ion here.
The odor which attachea to the
milk, afte, standing In Whlteborae
several da>s, may be explained In
many ways The complainant aays
It has an odor of Limburger cheese
Thla ia not Improbable or unuaual
where milk la kept In covered cans
for several daya. Tl>rough the pro
? eaa of shipping It It ponaible that
some of tbv casein becomes coagu
lated and attaches to the can, and
If not lmm*-d lately tranaferred to an
op*n vessel upon arrival at Whlte
?torse. will naturally be tranafom
? d Into actual cheeae with the ac
companying odor. All aclda and
neutral a.">lta. earthy and metallic
mlta, produce the effect of separat
ing the cheeae from ' the whey; |n
fact it ia pooaible that the food
of atock may contain auffklent
quantity a of metallic salts to in
fluence milk that la not properly
cared for after shipment.
Some of the consumer* Id the
\ ukon rUtm the milk wUl.not souk.
rbat Is one of the finest recommen
dations ??mt any milk can have.
Milk that is absolutely pure and
is shipped Into a community that
contains no dust or atmospheric
vegetable matter, and where the
climate Is cool will not readily sour.
Filthy and unsanitary surround
ings product bacteria, and sour
milk is often the butyric fermenta
tion pauson by the acthrity of ce>
tain bacteria. As Collier's says,
the condition is doubU<>8? due to
'he formation of ceraln bacterial
products.
The Ska** ay dairymen advise that
milk be taken from the cans as soon
as receiT.d and placed In open re
o'placlea In a cool ^lean room, and
the difficulty will doubtless dlsap
l-enr.

The ?pur of woman's inspiration MAKES A M-\N INVUL

AMERICAN WOMEN ARC THE BEST STANDARD OF FEMININITY.
