The Dilution Method of Cream Raising.

There are places in the State where
there has been a good deai of talk of late
about a new method OF raising cream
It is sometimes called the dilution methon'
The process is an I'D one which has fall
len into disuse but which has rec nty
taken on IL ucW lease o. ''
through the efforts OF several concerns
which are selling cans specially devised
for the purpose. Tht,v cats vary more or
less in minor details. which, however, do
not appear to effect the character OF their
work. The process is the same in "ach
case. The milk is diluted with an equal
or with greater bulk of water; the mix
ture is allowed to stand TWO hours or more
and is then skinned 10y drawing OF the
skim mtlk The advantages claimed Tor
the method are reduced cost, leSsened Ia
hor, durability and the DEVIATION OF Ice
storage and use. Incidentally it is stated
that the cream Is got cleaner than with
the creamery. aod that II tire separator
is rightly managed all the cream Will be
ohtatlCd
Some interesting tests of this method
have been reported recently by the YER
mont Experiment Station. This new
dilution method. as anyone can see, re-
quires more tank room and depreclates
the value of the skim milk. Besides this
the Experiment Station tests show that
the milk does not cream so well.
Over a hundred trials of TWO different
sizes of the Wheeler Gravity Cream Sep
nrator' were made at the Vermont sta
ton. The Gravity Separator" left in tho
skim milk 10 per cent of the fat of mixed
Jersey milk. 40 per cent of the fat OF Ayr
shire milk, and It per cent of the fat Of
strpper milk, mostly Jersey. The centri-
fugal separator left In the skim milk be-
tween | and per cent only OF the rat.
The centrifugal separator, moreover, ;
able to extract cream from the diluted
skim milk from the so-cailed "GraVity
separator
These results speak for themselves. The
cans are less efficient than centrifugal sep
arators, less efficient than the best forms
of deep setting apparatus, and no more
efficient on the average than the old FASH
toned shallow pan. II does not seem as
If the convenience, simplicity and cheap
mesa of the apparatus compensate for it's
lack of efficiency, or that it ought TO com
pete successfully with a centrifugal sep
arator The latter costs more, but II saves
more Of the butter fat and Is undoubtedly
the cheaper apparatus In the long run.

vERMONT"s HIGHWAY FARCE.
(From the Brattleboro Reformer.)


The Burlington Free Press has come to
the indignant conclusion that the State
highway tax of five cents ON the dollar
collected upon the grand list of the towns
to be redistributod according to the mile
age, lis a farce. as well as an injustice"
Its purpose was to promote the Construc-
ton Of permanent roadwayS, but its prac-
teal effect IS to compel the large towns
to aid the small ones in the ordinary
maintenance of their highways. Burning
ton, for instance, it says, contributes $500
Il year which is expended on all parts of
the State including sections which ne.er
exchange wheels or runners within this
city" And it adds:
The injustice Of this system would thus
appear to be sufficiently evident # the
money were to be used for the purpose in
tended; but it becomes still more manifest
when it = known that comparatively
small poNln of the proceeds of This tax
Is devoted to the construction Of perman-
cnt roadway. In some Of the towns the
money is covered directly in the town
treasury. where it serves merely to light
en- the burden of local taxation. making
no impression whatever on the condition
OF the highways. In other towns the
money is devoted TO the repair of high
WAYS. the law being utterly disragar,led
so far as the character of the work con-
t&mnlated is concerned"
This is naturally and inevitably so. 1t

March T. 1885,
The next place we reach is Colombo,
Island of CCylon, where | shall mail this
letter. We touched IL small island last
Friday. 1t was the Island of Perrin and is
only Il coaling station owned by the Eng
fish, who, in fact, own everything out
here.
But in spite of the fact that there Is
nothing on the island but a. few huts We
all went ashore just to feel dry land and
buy a few relics. You can do that you
know, even among cannibas. TO sell a
visitor something is tho first instinct Of
the natives.
There were 20 English people ashore and
the rest were all natives. The only bust
moss is loading and unloading coal There
was an English gun-boat in the harbor.
We accepted Il most cordial invitation
from her officers to go aboard and had Il
very enjoyable time. They aftcrward
visited us.
You cannot imagine such perfect weathc r
as we have had since leaving Gibraltar.
II was hot for a few days in the Red sea,

cool and the sea almost perfectly calm.
Going through the Suez canal was very
interesting, although there was nothing
in the scenery to attract one as 1t was all
the Arabian desert, but 1t was interesting
TO see the wonderful things man mas done.
The canal Is 10 miles long and just about
wide enough for two ships to pass. we
had to travel at the rates Of five miles an
hour and as we went through at night we
mad an immense search light on our bow.
That light cost 500 extra and the toll for
going through the canal is $500 While
going through we could see several ships
ahead and behind us, one Of which was
a big Russian transport filled with troops.
We atterward passed her in the Red SEA.
