Friends---Old and New.

Make new friends, but keep the old,
Those are silver, these are gold
New-made friendships, like new wine,
Age will mellow and refine.
Friendships that have stood the test
Time and change-are surely best;
Brow may wrinkle, hair grow gray,
Friendship never knows decay;
For mid old friends, tried and true,
Once more we our youth renew.
But old friends, alas may die,
New friends must their place supply.
Cherish friendship In your breast,
New is. good but old is best
Make new friends, but keep the old
Those are silver, these are gold.

Cold Setting of Milk.

A New Hampshire correspondent
wants information as to how long the
practice of cold setting has been in use.
We cannot inform him when it was first
tried in Sweden, where it originated
and was made practical, but the first
public allusion to the deep cold setting
of milk for cream in Vermont was made
by X. A. Willard at dairymen's meet
ing held at Essex junction January
% and %, 1874. We quote from our
report of the meeting in the old Yer
mont Farmer:
" Mr.. Willard stated that in Den
mark it had been found practicable to
raise all the cream from milk kept at
the temperature of thirty-five degrees
by the use of ice. He urged dairy
men to try this method. Harris Lewis
of New York asked Mr.. Willard if he
had tried the thirty-fve-degree process.
Mr.. Willard had not, but had noticed
that the cream is rapidly and thor
oughly thrown up in freezing" This,
twelve years ago, was the very first pub
lie reference made to the deep cold pro-
cess, and in very vague and imper-
feet manner, even attributing it to the
wrong country.
In Baldwin's Introduction to Prac
tical Farming for the Use of Schools"
standard English work published in
London by Macmillan & Co. in 1875,
the author says: &C 1t is found by ex-
perience that the best temperature for
the dairy is from fifty to fifty-eight de-
grees Fahrenheit" No allusion is made
to any method of either deep or cold
setting. In similar publication of the
same year, for the use of schools in Ire
land, it is taught as fact that no cream
at all will rise if the milk is kept at
temperature below forty degrees.
In the Vermont Dairymen's Associa-
ton report for 1S69-70, the secretary
60. S. Bliss) says Oage 1859: I" 1t may
be set down as settled that milk, for
whatever purpose it is to be used,
should be reduced to fifty-eight degrees
Fahrenheit as soon as practicable after
being drawn from the cow, and if the
method of setting the milk in use by
the butter-maker is not of itself adapted
to that purpose he should search out
some other practical method of ac-
complishing so desirable an end" In
the same report Mr.. Willard, speaking
of butter factories where watts for hold
ing the pals of milk for cream-raising
were then used, says: "The tempera-
ture of the water should be from forty
eight to fifty-six degrees" 1t is well
known that in such watts the milk can
not be made so cold as the water by
several degrees. In the succeeding re-
port QS70-71) Mr. Willard quotes and
endorses the Philadelphia method,
where the milk-room was kept at fifty
degrees (page 12). In the same vol
ume F. d. Douglas, then and now
prominent Vermont dairyman, recon-
mended the vat method, and we be-
lieve still continues to practice it, and
Mr.. Bliss says (page ~: 81 believe
now, as have in the past, in the abso-
lutte necessity of cooling the milk to
about fifty-eight degrees. This opin-
ion is not the result of one, but of many,
experiments, conducted under many
varying circumstances and confirmed
by the experience of several most eX-
cellent butter-makers.
