Permit me, having been an advocate
of the deep setting system for raising
cream, to state my views Of to-day from
conclusions reached from thorough,
careful trial between the deep pail set
ting and the Pearl pan and cooler.

of the deep setting system and will here
give my reasons. have used the deep
pals In my dairy for three years. By
what information l could gain from the
report of others, without any trial Of
my own, put the deep pals into my
dairy room, have used them ever since
with satisfactory results, until q short
time ago Mr.. Pearl, from Lawrence

some extent In adjoining towns land

allow him to set up his pan In my dali

My attention having been called to the
subject of deep and shallow setting and
for some time having doubts In regard
to the theory of deep setting, l was not

cream, as / am willing every one
should enjoy his or her own opinion In
the matter; but as the question Is be-

the greatest amount of good butter
from a given amount of milk,
with the least possible expense In
money and labor, as farmer and
dairyman feel deep interest, and as
much Is being said on the subject will
with your leave give the result of my
experiments, In several trials have
made. On the 18th of August, after
thoroughly mixing the nights milking
in one vessel, divided the milk equal
ly by weight, giving each one hundred
and ten pounds. That set in the Pearl
pan, three inches In depth, was
brought to temperature of 630, that

to stand until loppered which state was
reached in the pan in about forty hours
while that in the pals required about
fifty hours; the cream was treated
alike, cooled to 6O0, and churned the
next day. From the pan I had foul
pounds and eleven ounces, while the
pals only gave four pounds, requiring
273 pounds of milk for one of butter
while the pan gave me one pound OF
butter from about 234 pounds of milk
