In answer to questions by Col. Sprague
Mr.. Kelley, Mr.. Whitney of williston. AM
Mr.. Willard of Franklin. Mr.. Cuts said tha
he had tried the Cooley system, and tn
Jewett and "Git-edged" open pans; b,
knew Of nothing better than the last. Ii,
had sent two lots of butter to the same dealer
one made by the Cooley system and the othel
IN the open pans. and the dealer made re-
turns oil two cents a pound more for the
latter. This may have been accidental, and
prove nothing; but, on the whole, it con-
curred with his own judgment of the quail
ties oil the two lots. 1t was less work to
take care OF the milk in the open pans. Ii
Is quite shore to carry the ice for the milk
from 10 cows. to the Cooley creamery, and
there is some slOp and trouble in removing
the cans. This last objection, he under
stood. had been obviated by an arrange
ment for enptving the cans right from the
box. In some tests made at his dairy,
tie most butter was made from a
given quantity of milk with the open
pans. 1t should be said, however, that he
did not follow strictly the Cooley process
inasmuch as he did not submerge the cans.
lie iancied the butter was better with the
covers eff, and so left the cans open. In
another trial, conducted by the inventor of
the Cooley system, in which the cans were
submerged, little more butter was made
by that process than by the open pans. This
difference might possibly have been due to
difference in the ehurns, as two kinds OF
churns were used. There was no perceptible
difference in the texture and color of the
butter made by the two processes. That
from the Cooley cans was little lighter
color at first, hut soon became of the same
color. lie believed all the cream could be
obtained from the milk by either method.
On the whole, he considered the quality of
the butter made from the open pans to be
the best.
Mr.. T.. 5. Wood, of POmlret, was then in
troducej and gave the results Of some ex-
periments conducted by him in raising
cream.
In each case the mornings milk from
the same cow was taken. The temperature
was noted during the day. The percent
ages were noted by a test tube.
