A singular practice has rprung up In the Annandalc district of hum-frittshire hum-frittshire of tllterlngmllkas a means of purifying it, aud on attentive conidention it seems not a little strange this course of things was not thought of before. The old method of straining through flue sieves of hair or canvas is of course defective, as ray be at once seen by careful observation of the considerable quantities of dirt, together with small bit of hair, that become deposited de-posited at the bottoms of vessels in milk setting. Probably an impression has prevailed pre-vailed Ju the past that Altering milk would detract something from its quantity, but this does not appear to be the caw, according to the ex-rieuce ex-rieuce of those who have tried the system. Still, of course. It would bo well to be assured of this by chemical analysis liefore the practice is adopted extensively. Sponges appear to have been used hitherto, but wcshould suppose a far cheaper method of filtering possible if the assurance can be given that there Is no danger of milk being lm paired In quality thereby.
