Buy a Ihcrmometer.

ouy lncvm0meIers
We have often advised our readers
tnat make butter to buy thermom'
eter, whether they are engaged IN
making butter on a large or small
scale. In fact, they should purchase
number of thermometers, as they
are frequently broken, and cost but
little. In getting them, however, 1t
is best to be careful and get good
ones, as there are many on the mar
ket that are carelessly made and
will not give correct results when
used. A large number of agents that
nave thermometers handle only ex-
ceedingly cheap makes with the OBJ
Ject of making as much money as
possible out of them. If the farmer
tries to buy a dairy" thermometer
from them he will be told that they
do not know anything about such
thermometers and never handle them.
Perhaps they will refer to catalogue
and show an expensive thermometer
made on an elaborate scale. The
writer had this experience in trying
to get thermometer in Chicago.
Most of the stores visited had ther-
mometers, but not of the kind de.
sired. One or two had thermometers
made for floating around in liquid, but
costing more than they were worth
for practical use. At last one place
was found that had dairy thermome-
ters that sold at IS cents each and
which proved entirely reliable. A dol
lar thermometer is as likely to be
broken as a twenty-five cent thermom.
eter, and this is a contingency that
must be provided for.
The buttermaker of the past seldom
or never used a thermometer and as
result made very uneven lot of
butter. taking one make with another.
1t is certain that no scientific butter.
maker now ever thinks of making but
ter without learning the temperature
OF his cream. There is nothing that
can be relied on to give this tenn
perature record but the instrument
created for the purpose.

The Pipette and Test Bottle.

A good many of our readers are
using the Babcock tester. To such we
would say, BE careful as to the cor
rectness Of the pipette; as a variation
in the gradations of this may result
in rendering the test of no value at
all. For many years this matter has
been discussed. and in some Of the
states laws have been passed in an
attempt to regulate it. 1t has been
decreed that every creamery should
provide itself with oipette approved
by the state, this pipette to be used
to test all the others. But a good
many creameries paid no attention to
the law and others bought the nj.
pettes and laid them away carefully.
1t was easier to assume that the pi-
pettes bought from the commercial
houses were right than to find out by
testing them. But to the man that
purchases tester for the sake of
finding out what his COWS are doing
this carelessness will not be passed
by in silence. He has his own inter-
ests to act as spur to make him
careful. One Of the common methods
of testing bottles is to make the tests
and then compare the results from
the different bottles or pipettes. II
all agree it is quite safe to assume
that the pipettes and bottles are cor.
rect. This does not, however. neces-

all made wrong. On the test bottles

Foam in skimmina Tank.

H. r. Wright, Dairy Commissioners
of Iowa, says: There has been q very
considerable amount of discussion in
regard to the methods of prevention
OF foam, which is the one objection to
the pasteurizati0n of skinned milk at
the creameries. The experience OF
numerous buttermakers, who have
tried numerous plans, is convincing
that there is no successful method OF
preventing, absolutely, the foaming OF
the Skinned milk when it is heated
by the introduction of steam into the
milk. The foam, however, can be
taken care of at slight expense SO that
1t will not be at all annoying. For
some unknown reason practically
every creamery has been built with
the skinned milk tank inside, fact
for which there exists no necessity.
A skinned milk tank built outside the
creamery at reasonable distance
from it and situated over the drain, is
the ideal skinned milk tank, and in
any case, in order that the foam may
be controlled, the skinned milk tank
must be a closed tank. There should
be a manhole in the cover of the
tank SO that it can be cleaned, and
besides the opening of the inlet and
outlet for the passage of the skinned
milk, there should be another open.
ing in the cover Of the tank from
which tin or sheet iron pipe IL or
IA inches in diameter leads down and
is finally connected with the drain.
Such a device is cheap and easily
made by any timer and will effectu.
ally dispose of any amount Of foam
that may arise.

Wisconsin suttermakino.

Prof. j. G. Moore, after an inspec.
tion Of Wisconsin creameries, says:
The methods of making butter are
by no means uniform. Some butter.
makers have success with high TEN.
perature in ripening; others with low
temperature. The conditions at each
creamery have to determine for the
buttermaker what plan he will pursue
to get the best results, as it is mani.
festly impossible for a maker to prac.
tice high ripening temperature unless
he has ice or some other means at his
command to control the temperature
at will. However, more important
than methods Of making, to my mind,
is the factor Of cleanliness both in
the handling Of the machinery in the
factory and in the care Of the milk
by patrons. The pumps and pipes
through which the milk passes should
be cleaned much oftener than they are
and to this one cause a great deal
OF of favored butter can be traced.
The gates to the milk and cream vats,
too, are liable to become contaminated
and prove lively source of bad flaw.
ors. Churns are usually kept clean,
although not always, as have had
frequently to clean churns this last
summer. The reason for this is in q
good many cases due more to ignor.
ance than deliberate desire to be
dirty. There is more of a chance,
however, to reach the slovenly maker
than there is to impress the average
patron with his shortcomings. In look.
ing over the cans brought to a factory
it is rather delicate task for the
maker to tell man that his cans are
dirty and his milk impure. Not only
from the fact that he will incur his
enmity, but that he will no doubt be
told that if he does not want to take
his milk in, there are other cream.
cries where they will be glad to take
it, and this is too much the case and
where a creamery is getting hardly
enough milk to pay expenses the loss
OF patron or two is keenly felt.

The eutterjne interests.

The effect of the national anti.color
law is seen in the steady decrease of
the production of oleomargarine. In
the last year Of the old law the pro.
duction in the country was 126,316,472
pounds, while in the fiscal year ending
the last of June the output was only
48,071,4S0 pounds, considerably less
than half. The makers of oleomarga.
rine are still exerting themselves to
find some technicality in the law that
will permit them to color their goods.
For this reason the officers Of the
National Dairy Union urge the mem.
bers to still keep up the organiza.
tion, lest the dairymen lose what they
have gained.
The Wahpeton times., 1904-09-30
DRAINAGE from creamer;...

The drainage from creameries often
becomes source of much annoyance
to people living in the vicinity. The
drains become foul with decaying
casein and other refuse. AS most of
our readers are aware. putrid sour
milk has not the smell of roses. Resi-.
dents in the neighborhood of such
bitches make complaint at the nui.
sance. while the cattle and other stock
that are in the habit of drinking at
the brooks refuse to take the water.
Some creameries undertake to remedy
matters by running sewers for a long
distance to some brook that is at a
considerable distance from houses.
but even in such cases some of the
Objectionable features remain. This
may be remedied by the building of
large tanks that will receive from
5000 to 5000 gallons of the drainage
material at time. These tanks can
be constructed so that the water in
them will gradually run of but the
tank will be kept nearly full at all
times. In effect, this is septic tank.
1t should be kept closed at the ton
so that the air will not have free
access to the tank. The result will
be that the casein in the slop will
largely rise to the top and form a
scum. In this the bacteria of a kind
that do not use air will work and
destroy all the organic matter, precip.
