At this meeting the following resolutions, amongst others, were passed and forwarded to the President of the Local Government Board, and to the President of the Board of Agriculture -

The difference of profit between the two articles is suroient inducement to the retailor to sell Skimmed in place of Full Creat Milk whenever he can do so. The reason the profit on Skimmed Milk is more than that on Full Cream is because, as we have previously stated, Skimmed Condensed Milk looks quite like Fall Cream Condensed Milk, and the labels and tius of Skimmed Condensed Milk are got up in masher in many instances so like some time of Fall Croom Condensed Milk na to be likely to deceive the unwary, or uninitiated purchaser.

It is really replacing the water taken from it on evaporisation. To an extent it is necessary in order to render the milk sufficiently #faid.
