Dairy Affairs.
Mr.. D. N. Fafrand, of Morristown,
writes that intending to adopt the deep
pans or pals for his whole dairy, he
engaged supply, which reached him
when in so great hurry in haying that
only one-half of the pals were set, con.
sequently the milk of every other day
had to be put in the old-fashioned pans
His wife suggested that the cream be
kept separate to see which produced
the most butter. The cream from the
pans made the most butter the first
three days, when the following three
experiments were made: Weighed the
milk, set one day in pals, the next day
in pans, and so on for six days; ther
churned, and weighed the butter. Ii
the second trial there was one more
mornings than nights milking; in the
third, one more nights than morning.

to 70 degrees; that of the water from g.

was above 60 degrees we cooled the mill
set in pans before setting in the milk
room. We skinned the milk as sool
