OBTAINING CREAM FROM
MILK.

A process oil dlVeS'ing MIX Oh NS
component portion Of cream to an ex'
tent hitherto unattainable, has been
effected by Mr. George Carter, Of
nottingham Lodge, and is thus de-
tailed by that gentleman, in a paper
presented to the Society of Arts:-A
peculiar process of extracting cream
from milk, by which peculiar rich
ness is produced in the cream, has
long been known and practiced in
Devonshire: this produce of the
dairies of that country being well
known to every one by the name Of
"clotted" or clouted cream" As
there is n o peculiarity in the milk from
which this fluid is sextracted, it has been
frequently a matter of surprise that
the process has not been adopted in
other parts of the kingdom. A four
sided vessel is formed Of zinc plates,
twelve inches long, eight inches wide'
and six inches deep, with false bot
tom at one half the depth. The only
communication with the lower COM
partment is by the lip, through which
il NAV be filed or emptied. Having
first placed at the bottom Of the upper
compartment, a plate Of perforated
zinc, the area of which is equal tc
that of the false bottom, gallon Tor
any quantilyl of milk is poured imme
disteIy when drawn from the COW
into il, and must remain there at res
for twelve hoursi an equal Quantity o
boiling water must then be poured
into the lower compartment through
the lip; It is then permitted TO stane
twelve hours more, Ii e. twenty fou
hours aIlogether,l when the cream
will be found periecb and Of such con
sistence that the whole may be liite'
off by the finger and thumb. 1t is
no wever, more effectuaIly removed
by gently raising the plate OF per fora
ted zinc from the bottom by tn
ringed handles, by which means tn
3 whole of the cream is lifted off in
sheet, without remixing any Of it wit
2 the milk below. With this apparatu

d meut; and as a mean Of oftwelve SUI

# results: four gallons of milk treated
