On most cartons of milk that I remember, 3.25%, or whatever the earlier figure 
was, was printed on every package, although in small type. One might see it 
when opening the spout or something.

I remember as a kid we used to get our milk in glass bottles (delivered
from the dairy, too).  Underneath the little paper cap some of the cream
had thickened and clumped together.  I used to love to open a fresh bottle
and drink the cream off the top.

     I occasionally saw that type of miilk.  Sometimes, the cream was
so thick, one could turn the bottle (gently) upside-down, and the
cream would hold the milk in.

	Used to be normal when I was a child, but the caps were foil not
paper and the colour of the foil denoted the fat content. Silver was the
normal full fat which would tend to separate into a cream layer and the
rest, blue was low fat and gold was wonderful high fat stuff. The gold top
had cream thick enough to do that trick.

If you look hard enough, it's fairly easy to get bottled milk doorstep 
delivered from the dairy in the UK still. And one of the more weird 
lifestyle trends is causing a mini-revival:

I'm surprised there are still bottles.

But there is still milk delivery around here.  Except, the milkman is  now 
independent, while when he started he was part of a dairy.  So it's not 
widespread, just where someone takes the initiative.

A local dairy used milk bottles into the mid '70s. They didn't deliver
though, they had what would now be called convenience stores all over
the area.

A different dairy delivered, but not in bottles, until the early '70s
IIRC.

A bit farther up the thread someone mentioned cream separating out at
the top of the bottle. My mother told me that when she was a child, the
bottles had a large bulge at the top and then narrowed again. The milk
evidently wasn't homogenized and the cream separated out. You could
either pour it off and use it, or people used to mix it in before
pouring the milk.

She also said she remembered how sometimes in the winter the milk would
freeze and you'd get a column of milk sticking out of the top with the
paper cap sitting on top of it. :)

Hell, I remember that. There was a metal-skinned beaverboard box on 
the porch (with the dairy name embossed) that the milkman left the 
milk in, which provided a little protection. But if you forgot to take 
the milk out in the morning (or if it was really cold, e.g. below zero 
F) you'd get the column of cream with the cap sitting on top. (IIRC 
our bottles didn't have a bulge for cream at the top, though.)  This 
would have been in the 1940s, 50s, maybe early 60s. I don't remember 
if they still delivered after milk went to carton packaging.

It annoyed my mom when everything went homogenized, as she was used to 
skimming the cream off for her coffee.

And shaken-up cream-top milk tastes much creamier than the same amount
of cream homogenized in.

I remember seeing a bottle of milk like that...had been left out in the 
sun for a couple of days in summer!

*Old* guy, eh? ;-) 1948-50 we had milk like that in glass quarts
delivered to the door.  And ice, too, for the oaken ice box to keep
the milk in.  The nickel-plated latches on the ice box doors made
really satisfying mchanical sounds when the closed.  In '50 we got a
refrigerator, compressor unit on the top, so no more ice.  In '53 we
moved to a city.  For a while, milk still came in glass but not for
long (except glass gallons) and no deliveries.

My mother (100 yrs old now) still has her milk delivered in glass
bottles.   Still has cream on top - amount depnding on what the cows
are eating and the calving season.   Much fattier milk than
supermarket stuff which is watered to a consistant fat level.

This is in the UK btw...

When times were simpler. WHen cows calve, their first milk is full of
things good for the calf, including stuff that helps it with its `movement'
That milk used to be used to feed the calf for the first few days, and was
 not to be sold to the public. A nurse in a obscure hospital told me that they
could know when their milk suppliers cows were calving, the patients would get
`very loose'. Before 1900 or so, cows were keept in the innercity, feed drawn 
from the country, solid and liquid were sold to local gardeners. Then the 
railways got into the system, `milk trains', first thing in the morning.
Then we had delivery men, milk rounds worth real money, now they are aswell.

I have a similar problem.  I've also encountered the problem where
there is no regular milk on the shelves.  One time I bought
regualr milk and it had been doctored with Cremora.  Cremora
jells when nuked.

Gak!  Adulteration!  Soy-disant dairy!  Cremora *does* have its uses:

When I was a pup, we bought "Extra Rich" from a local dairy, because it
tasted more like unhomogenized.  I remember sitting at the breakfast
table, and the "This product contains milk fat in excess of the legal
standard for milk" legend on every bottle.  (I think it was 5%, but I
can't swear to that, and the dairy that produced it was bought by a
competitor 30 years ago).

I remember thinking that we had "illegal" milk in our fridge, and The
Govm'nt was going to throw us (and our milk man) into jail for flaunting
the Legal Standards for Milk.

Depending on the mission at hand, today I buy either UHT shelf-stable
milk (to always have on hand for cooking), or raw milk from the man who
brings it into the village on a donkey cart (When I lived in town in
Tonala, a man on horseback brought raw milk up and down the streets
every evening).  [Raw milk is necessary for authentic French Milk Icing,
because the pasteurization process destroys some of the natural enzymes
- and yes, it is a risk, but it is a risk I am willing to take as a
healthy adult].

When I go on an ice-cream producing binge, I buy unadulterated cream
from the dairy co-op two towns over.  (No gelatin, no carageenin, no
polysiloxate).

Generally, high-fat milk is produced by cows originally kept on 
the channel Islands, Jersey, Guernsey. Beautiful stuff. Holstein
cows are milk-producing machines, lots of milk, lower quality.
You can fiddle with the constituants mechanically after it leaves 
the cow, but its not the same. Cows in the US are treated 
to produce more milk, with the result that many countries ban the 
import of US milk products. 

There are people now who want to drink milk as it comes from the 
cow, without it been Pasteurized. I think they are crazy, that 
treatment when introduced was one of the first steps in social
medicine, and along with drains, and clean water, means that a
lot of very nasty conditions are rare now

They may well be. A woman who posts interesting videos of herself doing 
interviews claims she cured her breast cancer by drinking raw milk.
