Frozen Milk.

The Danes and Swedes, says the Daiiy (England)) have for some little time been sending us frozen milk, which is when thawed, we understand, sold in London and elsewhere as fresh, lio doubt at a handsome profit, and it is now said that we art even threatened with a flood of frozen milk and cream from the other side of the Atlantic. Tho supply of frozen milk comes) as yet, from a Swedish factory t where the milk is treated by a patent process, being heated to about 75 deg. C. and then cooled to about 10 deg. C, after which the freezing ie carried out. The cans are said to be half filled with milk and frozen for 8 hours and froeen milk and fresh milk being then filled into pine barrels in equal proportions* thus the barrels can be filled to their utmost capacity and shaking avoided ; at the same time, the proportion of froeen milk being in sufficient quantity to prevent the cream setting, and also to keep the milk fresh for 26 day 3. The barrels are said to be capable of holding lOOOlbs of milk, lOO.OOOIbs being shipped per week, received at Newcastle, and thence distributed to various centres. The patent rights of this process are said to have been bought for Ireland.
