GLASS MILK PANS. — A farmer in Akron, Ohio, has been experimenting with milk in glass pans made by Gray, Hemingray, & Co., of Cincinnati, and furnishes the result to the Ohio Farmer: "I took the milk of the same cow, milked at the same time and divided it equally, putting half in a glass pan, and half in a tin pan, and placed them side by side. In the first twenty-four hours, were two thunder showers; and, at the end of that time, the milk in the tin pan was sour; that in the glass pan was sweet and good. At the end of twelve hours more, that in the tin was thick clabber or lobered, as the Yankees call it, and that in the glass began to turn. From this, I believe, glass pans will preserve milk one-third longer than tin pans. Will our dairymen try it?
