BEsT DEPT HFos SETTLING MILK.--A cor
respondent of the Homestead relates the
following experiment:
On the 9Th of April we set two pals of
milk, weighing forty-seven pounds ten
ounces, in to tin pals ten inches deep.
The next day we set the quantity of
milk from the same cows two inches deep
in pans. These were placed on the same
shelf with the first, aud Of course in the
same temperature, which was near 60
degrees. Ia four days the FIRST milk
was sour and SKINNED. yielding three
pounds two ounces Of cream, which being
allowed to stand one day, made one pound
eight ounces Of butter. The other milk,
standing the same length of time, yielded
four pounds eight ounces of cream, which
being allowed to stand one day, made one
pound eight ounces of butter. The other
milk, standing the same length Of time,
yielded four pounds eight ounces of cream,
making two pounds one ounce of butter
a difference os nine ounces in favour of set
ting the milk shallow. This is gain of
81 per cent, over the depth Of ten inches
