hartford CREAMERY Within sight of
Fallston station is the extensive Salem
Creamery of Mr.. D. 2. Tlolingsworth. Mr..
Hollingsworth is largely engaged in the
manufacture of butter and ice cream. He has
herd of % cows and receives, besides. the
milk from the farms of Mcssrs. j X Hamilton,
Geo. Rowles and Michael Kelly and cream
from several other farms. His arrangements
for conducting the dairy business are probably
the most complete in the county.
A hydraulic ram supplies water for the dairy
and the twelve-horse power boiler which fur
nishes motive power for his machinery.
| MIR. Hollingsworth has discarded the old pro-
cess of allowing the cream to rise ON the milk,
but uses instead the Laval separator, a machine
which separates the cream from the skim milk
by centrifugal motion. This Ingenious invention
is shaped like bowl, being about Is inches
across and ~ inches deep. BY means of the steam
| engine an inside disc is made to revolve at the
rate of 5000 revolutions a minute. As it re-
wolves steady stream of milk, warm and fresh
! from the cows, falls into an opening at the top
| from a tank above. The skim milk being
heavier than the cream is separated therefrom
| by the rapid rotary motion, and runs out of a
spout on one side, while the cream comes out
at the other side. The machine is capable of
separating the cream from 100 gallons of milk
| in an hour 1t is the only machine of the kind
in Hartford county and there are but two others
in the State. 1t cost $500. The skim milk is
fed to calves and pigs.
Mr.. Hollngsworth uses an immense barrel
churn, run by steam. 1t will hold 100 gallons
of cream, but 60 gallons are generally churned
at time. The yield averages . lbs. of butter
from gallon OF cream. The butter is sailed
and worked on an Eureka butter worker Mr..
Hollingsworth does not work his butter very
much, as excessive working destroys its grain,
but depends upon the churn to make it solid
and separate the butter mix from it.
The butte.' Immediately after being worked,
is made into square prints, after which it is
ready for market. Mr. Hollingsworth makes
about $50 lbs. of butter and 100 gallons of ice
cream week. He has regular customers in
Baltimore city, for the most of his butter, at
good prices, and sends much of his ice cream to
Baltimore also. Mr.. Hollngsworth uses about
30 bushels of ice every day. lie gathers his sup
ply himself and stores it in two houses, one con-
tanning rs and the other 100 TONS
Mr.. Hollngsworth is one of the most enter
prisng dairymen in the State, and avails him
self ofevery appliance Known to the business.
