Mr. Ef.1~s
] noticei In recent rnmber 81 The
JoCxxAi m article on shallow or Deep
MIA Setting. with the statement. thai for
. time the shallow pan Adrocstss seemed
10 10 routed. but thai The invention o. tho
Bureau pan whose cooling element 10
supposed 10 he descending current Of air
ccolcd ny 400 ornscd a revival Of the shAl-
low pan theory and together With the cen.
iriiuga plan fairlamb, etc. that tho con.
test has become almost even with equal
results In one respec, you say the old
pan e1cels them AL unless il be the Bu-
roaa creamery which has the same merit
@ the shallow pan, that OF producing
cream o. deeper color and more busicry
look than any Of the deep or submerged
systems Now what are the facts in the
prsmiscsi The Bureau pan is broad pan
and must be classed nv such, but when air
is cooled by Ice which Mr.. Ferguson,
the inventor, recommends, the cream, OF a
necessity. is lighter In color. greater in
volume than when raised in q warmer
temperature, hence il is not possible that
the Bureau pan should possess the above
mentioned merit alone, even were il used
open, which is by far the most practical
way Of using il and the only way by
which that quality OF cream can be pro-
duced which is essential for producing
good butter. The Bureau pan has, how.
ever. one essential merit over any other
method Of deep setting. when nature gives
us the requisite conditions without ice or
other artificial cooling, by leaving the
pans open the same quality Of cream will
appear MS in any other broad pan, other
wise it is no better than deep setting es
pecially when cooled with ice. / know Of
no one Of the broad pans, and there are Is
different styles used in this State with
which am familiar, whose tendency does
not favor better quality Of cream than
the Bureau, provided il is worked in ac-
cordance with the advertised theory Of
the inventor, and il not 30 worked the
subject for the direct investigation Of the
dairyman are just as much in the dark as
before, only beiogged by false theories
which cannot be substantiated by sound
practice. and il Is but another feature that
tends TO discourage fair dealing and TO
rob the pioneers in the broad pan move
ment, B. F. Jewett and others, of their
just dues and puts deception at premium.
So far as the centrifugal system, Fair
lambs and others requiring large out
lay are concerned think they cannot sue
coed only where the cooperative system is
employed. As to the tests to which you
allude you do not say what varieties OF
broad pans were used, whether dry or
otherwise and there is as much difference
between broad pans as there is between
you and !. Hyou can give us the record
Of any pans with all the particulars in re-
gard to temperature Of milk, cost Of labor,
etc., which will show the practical results
Of each it will be just the information dai.
rymen are seeking for. 1t may be deemed
the height Of presumption to venture an
opinion not in harmony with such author
lty as Harris Lewis who asserts his prefer
ence for the time tin pan; but If
rightly understand it Mr.. Lewis has never
with many OF the broad pans
md he does no pass upon those he knows
aothing Of. Ishould Judge him to be
nature instead of premature in his judge
nent. L. b. Arnold favors the open
settings, as do all practical men with
whom am acquainted, who have knowl-
'dge Of both systems. Your advice as to
results and avoiding making
hanges is sound and certainly requires no
omment from me. J. w. KELLEY.
