The time should not be less than forty min

not be so full but that as the cream expands
in the earlier stage OF the operation, the
dssher may still rise above il.
When the dssher does not rise above the
surface il requires more time TO bring butter
than when the dasher rises clear OF the
cream. The fact seems to argue that the
amount of air forced down through the
cream performs 3 chemical Office IN the
operation OF no small importance. The
cream which appears on the lid should be
rirsed down, that il may become uniform
and avoid waste.
When the pellets CT butter have become as
large as peas, the churn is detached, to stand
until the butter in all the churns is in like

possible. This will gather the butter more
quickly and easily than b5 hand.
