clusions on this very interesting topic.
namely:
Any or all of the six chief causes
for variation in the test of cream may
occur on almost any farm and con-
tribute to the differences which are
seen on the creamery patrons state
ments from time to time. Improper
reading of the test may explain ad-
ditional variation. We have not dealt
with that, because it can be controlled
by creamery inspectors and the law.
In the summer cream separator is
naturally warmer than it is in the
winter and consequently during the
winter months it cools several degrees,
the first milk entering the bowl. Milk
quickly cools off while standing in a
lower temperature in winter than in
summer. This is only a gradual var
iation, however, and is not very no
| ticeable. There are several minor
causes of variation, such as that OF
sudden starting, difference in quality
of morning and evening milk, iEprop-
er oiling, etc. The chief causes OF
variation, however, and the amount OF
variation in each case are as follows
1.-The temperature of milk makes
a difference of from one to five per
cent in the test of cream at average
skimming temperature, greater varia-
ton being caused in extreme cases.
2-The amount of flush water used
with average skimming temperatures
makes a difference of from one to
three per cent, in extreme cases max
ting difference as great as ten per
cent.
3-The variation in steadiness OF
the bowl makes difference OF from
two to sixteen per cent, depending on
the amount of vibration.
4-The variation of the speed of the
bowl causes difference of from one
to thirteen per cent in the test o.
cream, depending on the variation in
speed.
t 5-The amount of milk allowed tC
flow through the separator DOWl IRON
4 one half to full capacity makes diff
3 ference of from one to six per cent
depending upon the divergence from
: full capacity of the machine.
6-The amount of acid in the mill
3 causes an irregular variation in thu
test of cream, depending upon thu
c amount of acid it contains. Wher'
a the acid reaches high point, 3 t.
d a per cent for instance, and the sepaI
S ator is used continuously for an hou
s or more, it will eventually clog tn
same as in the case of cold milk. TIL
v cream will then become thicker unit
o the separator is entirely clogged. TIL
J. extent of the clogging will depend o
e the amount of acid in the milk and tn
n size of the machine. The higher tn
e acidity and the smaller the machin
S the sooner the separator will clog.
