In skimming tbree things must be observed. (1) The speed of the se-

A low speed means loss of fat in the skim milk. (2) The flow 0! the milk into the separator should be uniform- (3) The tempera- iurs of the milk should not be under 90 degrees, and for that reason the best ‘.ims_to separate the milk ls immediately after milking. A low tempere- lude is also liable to cause loss of fat in the skim milk. The faster the Inlllt passes through the separator, the less complete is the separation, and s thinner cream is given. Every separator has some device for changing the test of the cream. In most cases the adjustment Ia at the cream Outlet- If so. by turning the cream screw ln, the cream will be richer. and by turn-

_log it out the cream will be thinner.

All the parts of the separator which come in contact with the milk or

cream should be washed in lukewarm water, to which has been added a small qusn ity of ual ,gag or ggher cleansing powder. and then thoroughly scald-

In some cases the separators are placed in the cow stables. This may

be a convenient arrangement, but it is not by any means a propler place for separating milk. unless a special room well ventilated and lig ted. is par- titioned off. to exclude the stable odors and dust. This room should have

I lmootb cement floor, which can be easily cleaned.

CREAM AND ITS CARE. -

Advantages of a Rich Cream.-Skimming a rich cream leaves more

skim milk for feeding young stock; there is less can room required for the cream; less cream lo cool: it will keep sweet longer than thin cream will. oiher conditions being cqlirli; it will churn more easily and will make better flavored butter. than can be made from thin cream. The cream should be skimmed of such richness that one gallon (10 pounds) of it will yield froln

S to 3% pounds of butter.

Cooling the Cream.-The cream from deep setting will not require much

l`°0illlK. but cream from shallow pans or from hand separators should be cooled to under 60 degrees, immediate’_\' after skimming. and kept cool un-

til about twelve hours before churlllng.

If cream is allowed to stand at a ‘ligh temperature (70 to 75 degrees)

I0' lilly length of time, the flavor will be njured and it is apt to become furdled °l' l\-ll'llDy- This condition wil clruse serious loss of fat in the but-

termilk. and the quality of the butter will not be fine.

Vie would recomend keeping the cream in shotgun cans -and the cans

ut in a box similar to the one recommended for deep setting- Tin cans re preferable to crocks, because thry Bro @8819? I0 hlindle. and if the mperature of the cream has to be changed for churning, it can be done "Y mucll more quickly and easily when in the tin cans, by surrounding hem with either warm or cold water, \\'ater or ice should not be put into e cream or raise or lower the temperature. \Varm cream from the se- rator should not be added to cream already cooled. The cream should be

glrred well each time a fresh lot is added. and occasionally until it is ready

churn. A cream stirrer, with n saucer-shaped tin disc perforated, and

5 wire handle about twenty-four infhti i0nS Should be used. '

mgreparing the Cream for Churnlng,-This means developing the proper

hy (llournessl and having the cream at the right temperature. ~1\'o

ei criirean; should be added for at least twelve hours before churning. If “_ gm s sweet at this time, a small lluallflil' (6 to 10 per cent.) of clean

ore sour skim milk may be added with good results and the cream

'pt at churning temperature for twelve hours.

" The appearance oi' the cream when ready to churn should he thick and 0585. and pour like thick syrup; it should smell and taste slightly sour.

The prop#-,r temperature of the cream for churning depends upon;

1. The richness of the cream. »

2' The |9l”l§til of time the cows have been milking

3. The breed of thc cu-_vs, and

4. The feed 1-.f the cows.

th It will therefore be seen how difficult it is to give any tcmovrnturc as

e best for churning. The best temperature for churning can only be

kllllwll by Will-ing the per cent. of fat in the cream.

CHURNING.

All the cream should be passed through a. finely perforated tin strainer

as it is bclng put into the churn.

Chirning will lie completed in the shortest time when the churn is

about one-third full, Tile- cllllrn should never be more than half full. If il small amount of cream is being churned, il is difficult to gather butter

properly and it is lipt to be o\'f‘r-churned.

TIN' l‘l"0P€1' slvccfl for the churn depends upon its size. That speed which

gives the greatest concussion will bc tile most cffective.

li' the cream has been properly prepared and is at the right temperature,

the lfhllflllllff mill' be finished without adding any water. If for any reason the butler in coming u little tuu fast, it is advisable to add, just when the cream is breaking, some lvnter with alittle suit in it about two degrees goidcr than the cream. This will assist in Separating the butter from the butter- milk- Two common causes for crcazn churning too slow are: (l) too mucil

crealrl in lile c‘_~~::n. nnd (2) the temperature of the cream is too low.

Tile time tn sow depends on ille locall- . an-i the condition of the soil. If tho ground has not been well fitted for the .1-eil l would rather take a little time to fit it and sow n little later than to sow cnrly on poorly fitted ground. Some of the excellent yields of wheat of the pres- ent season have come from fields that were sown rs-ther late. The soil should be Mnely pulverised and be dry enough to -be lively and .cover the seed well.

The amount of seed needed depends

on the kind of soil. On rich, loamy soil,
