compared Will using Tic udnu spar d
tor and churn was undertaken In
August and September.
Before being divided the milk was
thoroughly mixed. One portion was
then separated by hand separator
and the cream was churned as soon as
it had ripened The whole milk por-
ton was allowed to turn to clabber
before being cburned. In churning the
whole milk the conditions were such
as 20 secure the best possible yield
and it was found that IA 06 per cent.
or about one seventh of the fat pres
ent in the milk was not recovered in
the butter. In using the centrifugal
separator and the churn, I So per
cent. of the total fat of the milk was
not recovered in the butter. This
was largely owing to the fact that the
churning temperature. 6S. which was
the lowest that could be obtained
without ice, was entirely too high for
the best results in churning cream.
As soon as the steam fitting at the
dairy was done, cheese making was
commenced. Between September
25th, and October 10th, cheese was
made on ten days. From 4,l55.25
pounds of milk 476.25 pounds of

of 8.72 pounds of milk being required
