Nnllilnl Nuinn N iii iisnu; ur uni l..____________ ' APerhsps the most common cause for dissatisfaction among ereamery ' ns is the variation in test of cream delivered. This is especially true n each can of cream is tested separately at the creamery. There may be a variation in the test of the separate can white the average test for .different months may show very little variation. To the average farmer H, ||-y-man who has not had a very extensive experience with creain separ- , the variation in test of his cream is quite a puzzle. I-Ie naturally gks that if the same separator is run by the sarne man all the time and he has not changed the cream screw, the test ought to remain the same the time. _ But the test of the cream does vary from time to time. and this fact not in any measure indicate that careless testing is being done. It is ,rutleally impossible to run a separator without having the cream vary and me should consider it more suspicious if the ir:.t always remained exactly the same, than when there is a variation. There may bc several causes for those variations. Brief mention will be made of the more important ones. First: There may be variations in the speed at which the separator is run. This at once effects a change in the per cent. of butter fat in the cream. men the separator is run faster, there is a, greater amount of skim milk drown out and a smaller amount of higher testing cream. The slowerspeed glves s larger quantity of thinner cream. Second: There may be variations in the rate of feeding the separator. he fact that there is a. float governing the inflow of milk does not neces- “rlly insure an equal rate of feed at all times. Sometimes the faucet may net be entirely open, and this will decrease the amount of pressure on the gupply and also lower the rate of inflow. A difference in the amount of ilk in the supply can may make a difference in the rate of feed for the In “me reason. Whenever the rate of inflow is increased there will be_ a larger ,mount of thinner cream. Third: Improper washing of the bowl may be another cause. The cream mtlet is very small and if not thoroughly cleaned after each separating a gust of dried cream may form around the edges. This will gradually make mg opening smaller and a less amount of higher testing cream results just gh, “ms as if the cream screw were changed. Then some times this crust wil probably be removed and there is a sudden change to a larger amount of thinner cream. Fourth: A variation in the amount of water or skim mill: used for flushing out the bowl is a very com mon cause for variation in test. It is ,ny gg cary the amount of water or skim milk used for this purpose suffi- cient to change the test several per cent. Fifth: lt is a well known fact that the test of the milk from a herd of cows may vary from time to time. Changes in weather, excitement, etc.. may cause these changes. This change in the test of the whole milk will also cause a change in the amount of butt er tat in the cream. One authority says that if the milk from a herd of cows testing four per cent is separated se ss to give cream testing forty per cent., and the test of the milk suddenly raises to 42.5 per cent., which often occurs, the cream will then test about 42.5 pe: cent. This makes a. variation of two and a half per cent, in the test of the cream caused by s variation of one-fourth of one per com. in the test ef the whole milk. Thus it may be seen that there are various conditions which may affect the test of cream with which the operator at tho creamery has nothing to do, and charges of careless work or dishonesty should not be brought against him unless founded on something better than just simply a variation in ielt. O I l I The time is about at hand when the stock will again be turned out into the pastures. All fences should be carefully looked over to find if posts are all good and to ses that there are no slack or broken wires. .lf this is care- fully attended to and fences put in good repair before cattle are turned to pasture it will save time and worry "l'i'ier""ori."'D'o"not'isave it until after the stock get the habit of "breaking out." If you do it is probable that several times during the summer nights when you are getting your much-needed rest you will be roused from your slumbere by the bark of the dog and find your cattle in the field, ur the orchard, or your wlfe‘s garden, and in any case it _makes it mighty unpleasant for you. Then, perhaps, when you go to church, or to a picnic, or a fourth of J uiy celebration, one of the boys will have to stay at home and wut& the co ws while tho rest of the family are sway having a good time, and that makes it pretty unpleasant for the boy. The probability is that he will spend his time planning on how best to get sway from the farm and forget all about the cattle, and when you get home you find that they have been out in your neighbors cornfield. Wouldn't it bs much better to build a good fence and keep it in repair and avoid all such trouble? If you are in doubt just try lt. U ' e s ~ To think that we san learn anything successfully by mere theory is ex- pecting too much. Correct tllcory is all right in its place, and we should get all the informalion vee can about tho subject in hand, but practice is neces- sary to complete our knowledge of it. The old adage that we learn to do by doing is a. good one. These principles apply to farming as well as to other lines of endeavor. We need to read and study all we can, but this' knowledge should be supple- mented by visiting other farms and ob serving the way in which they are conducted. A visit to the best farms of the same grade as our own will help Ilwst, for the care of cows. the miikln g, caring tor the milk, and the market- ing must be similar in order to attain th_e lame results as_with all other. ' BY showing s.n eamest desire to learn the advice and help of the more llpefianced may be obtained on special points of inquiry. If you can get a DPl¢¢i°I-I expert to come and go through your dairy and give his opinion about each cow and your method of feeding and caring for milk and market- Ill. with other details, you will be exceedingly fortunate and derive great \\D- Ai same time, it must be remembered that you cannot succeed by I a mere sopyist. You must take the help preferred and make it your. own to be used in your own way.
