PASTEURISATION.
'.WHAT THE GOVERNMENT IS DOING. Replying to a question in tho House of Representatives yesterday, the Prime Minister stated that the Government has for some time past been advising tho proprietors of butter factories to pasteurise all skim-milk before returning it to the suppliers, but does not consider tho present time opportune for making this reform compulsory., The necessary plant is somewhat expensive, in many' cases additional boiler-power would be required, and in a short time such plant and boiler-'powor might bo put out of use by the conversion of butter factories into cheese factories or by the rapid expansion of homo separation of cream. Tho number of butter factories that pasteurised their skim-milk last season was only twelve. The_ matter .of heating whey before returning it to the suppliers of cheese factories is somewhat less 'difficult, and tho work was undertaken last season at 163 factories. The whole ' subject is being carefully watched by tho Government.
