coolers, which are lined with metal and
lifted with inlet and overflow for using
flowing spring water or are cooled with ice
If the temperature of the water in the
coolers is kept at from 400 to 500 the
cream will rise in five hours or between
milkings, in which case only cans enough |
to hold a single milking are required.
Sweet cream is secured from sweet milk in |
the shortest possible space of time. The |
milk is then drawn of from under the |
cream by valve and tube ingeniously con-
trived so as to draw off all the milk and |
leave all the cream. This saves skimming, |
and the cream is poured out for churning. |
MIR. Cooley said he had found temperature |
of As . to be the best. At that temperature |
the butter globules rise most rapidly |
through the milk. He exhibited can pro-
| vided with glass side, IN which the mem
bers of the association had seen the process
of rising of the cream take place in i've |
hours. He had tried the heating process.
and considered it next best to the cooling
process, but the latter was best. lie had
handled five millions pounds OF milk, IN
two years past, and was entirely satisfied OF
the superiority of this process for butter
makers. For making butter ard cheese
from the same milk, it may not be so good,
as the cream is so thoroughly extracted by |
/
return to the milk as much cream as you
like tor making cheese. He had tried shal-
low setting but could cool quicker in the
deep can.
Mr. Tinkham asked who shall decide |
| when doctors disagree? We have heard |
the advantages of tho heating process from |
Mr.. Ellsworth and Mr.. Arnold, the high |
est authority, told us, two years ago, 10 |
heat to 1909. But here comes man who |
tells US to cool instead of heating. Many |
set in shallow pans, Others insist on deep |
setting. Some say never let the milk sour |
| and use no milk with the cream. But an |
| Essex farmer Of his acquaintance turns In
the milk, sour and sweet. and makes |
| nice butter. Some say never touch the |
butter with the hand but one,of the best
butter makers he knew. always works her
butter by hand. Some say it is all impo.-
tant to keep the milk open to the air IN
order that the animal odor may escape
but here is man who coveIs 1t tight
! every moment.
Mr. Cooley ssit what many call the ami
NAL odor, is really the vegetable odor-it
comes from the food. Feed your COW on
turnips and you will have an odor which
cannot be got rid of, but in general the
odor is volatile OIL 1t can be driven off
by heating; but in the cooling process 1t
all remains in the watery portion OF the
milk, and the cream is perfectly odoress.
Ii the milking il clean, and the cow is fed
on good grass there is no bad odor any
way.
Prof. Stewart said the animal odor is
sort OF terment, cold holds this in obey
ance. The committee who examined this
process had been surprised at its results
thev had seen three inches Of cream rise
in five hours but more facts were needed.
Mr.. Ellsworth thought this mode of skim
ing may be advantageous but he was in
Glued to prefer the heating process.
Prof. Wetherell suggested that the Objec-
tionable odors are those of the barn yard
and not of the animal. In pure milk from
healthy COW, there was nothing to be
eradicated.
Mr.. Field, Of Milton, had used these deep
cans set in a spring at 500. For cheese.
he thought the heating process. preferable.
For butter, this may be good. ,
The time allotted for this discussion being
expired, Prof. Cressey was called to the
platform.
PROF. cREsskY on DIsEAsss OF sHEEP AND
CATTLE.
Prof Cressey said be would try u sup
plement to some extent Prof. Perkins e1-
ceedingly interesting remarks on animal
parasites. Prof. p. had said that he knew I
of no remedy for the tapeworm which at
tacks the brain. 1t is fact, however. that
the Scotch doctors have succeeded IN re-
moving the worm by trephlning. The :
location of the hydatid is indicated BY the /;
Sleeps actions. If the animal walks to the =
right it is on the right side; if to the lett |
on the lett. and if the animal holds its head
up and goes straight forward, it is in the :
back part of the head /; and by cutting !,
through the skull it may e removed, i
piece Of silver put in to close the aritce !,
and valuable animal bo thus saved. !.
Some one mot Prof. Perkins, had said !,
that the hydatlds we're the same as Grub
in-the-head'; but that is not so. Grub-in- q
the-head is bot-wOrm, from an egg de- :,
posted by fly. q cousin to the bots in ,.
horses, which passes into the head from the
nose. The best dose. in sheep or horses, is
sweet milk, followed BY physic.
The S:rongilus, or thread worm, was'frst
discovered by Prof Cressey, in the body of n
an imported sheep. dissected by him in Con- /
necticut, and was described by him in i,
report to the Connecticut Board of Agricul- A
ture in 1873. Remedy. spirits OF turpentino r
in milk or mucilsginOus drink. The same n
worm causes the disease called the "Husx" O
in calves. The blue knots, often found on g
the bowels of sheep. are encysted worms. a
The "Gspes" in fowls is tn, result of I,
parasite. Prof. Cressey endorsed Prof. a
Perkins cautions against spreading Of the a
eggs Of parasites through the medium of a
dogs. 1t is we'll to keep the dogs of from d
the children beds. .
In answer to questions, Prof. Z. said 81
disease attacking young pigs, described by d
a questoner, was probably hog-cholers. In q
this there is q congestion Of the skin. Civ {

"Black-eg" is the disease called by the il
French charbOH. often the result OF over r,
feeding. 1t is contagious when the carcass c.
is brought in contact with the human bJdy, d
occasioning the incurabe disease known as :,
malignant pustule." Prof. Consnt. for G,

University of Vermont, died of this.

eases. Farmers call everything affecting D

In reply to question by Mr.. Weston, of !,
Colchester, Prot. C. said gsrget-root is =
mild lebrIfuge, which tends to produce |,
perspirsiion; but has no local effect, and n
is OF little us, Aconite is better to pro- n
duce perspirstiou. There is an inAamma- y

L. never saw hog dying from "Black /,

In time We may teach our swine to brlsh II
their teeth and keep them white but p
knocking out their teeth because they hap b
pen to be black IS Of no use. The trouble. 3
IT the hog is alok, is In something else than C
tho tooth. Wolf-tOoth in horses is simply o
al unshed milK-tooth. Ii is well to remove i,
it, especially if it is in the way OF the bit. Fl
but it is otherwise harmless and the pre- u o
dice against horse with wolf-tooth is v
absurd. b
In closing Prof. Z. said Veterinarians
have much to learn, and there is great .
deficiency Of specimens of diseased parts.
The farmers are apt TO bury the diseased {
csrcasses at once. lie asked the farmers to .
obtain specimens for him, for use in his II
coming series of lectures at the University. o

President Buckham took the stand t) An
nounce that Prof Cressy would address a
number OF meetings Of the Board of Agri-

would be obtained. His lectures at the I

College. unless. as he trusted would be the p
case, the attendance should be too large, in c
