Milk In a Clean PInpe.
Special care should be taken to milk
lin a clean place and in as cleanly
manner as possible. for particles of
dirt which fall into the milk at milk
Ing time are laden with organisms
which produce the worst havors with
which we have to contend and, while
harmful at any time. are doubly SO
under the cream gathering creamery
system, where the cream Is held for
some time before 1t Is sent to the fac
tory.
The milk should be creamed as soon
as possible after milking, and for this
purpose we strongly favor the use of d
hand separator over any method of
setting the milk, rs 1t provides the
most efficient and thorough method of
creaming the milk and enables us to
make cream Of any desired richness.
We recommend making cream test
ing about 80 per cent. The quantity
q to be cooled is greatly reduced, and tile
cream, If properly cooled, will be one
of superior quality. Care should lie
taken to set the separator in clean
place and to stand 1t on n floor TINT
can be kept clean, and not on an earth
or ground floor, which{ Is sure to get
into bad condition sooner or later
through milk being spilled upon and
soaking into it and thus rnustng bad
odors. We would again admonlsh
those who have hand Jseparutors to
keep them thoroughly clean. We have
met more separators than one in such
a condition that they themselves would
contaminate milk put through them. ~
The separator bowl and it's parts
should not only look clean, but should
have a clean smell as well. If giving
Off any bad odors, examine all tubes
and crevices about the bowl. for this
is evidence in itself that there is dirt
being harbored somewhere. i yufyf
iH'"1 Delivery of Cream. "' y
Frequently cream is seriously injured
in delivering it to the creamery. We
have even seen collectors using ordi-
nary milk cans in summer for this
purpose Cream received from the
patron in the best condition would
not under such circumstances reach
the. creamery in a condition fit for
making good butter. The tanks or
cans should be well insulated and
where the latter in particular are used
they should be protected from the sun
by means of good canvas cover on
tile wagon. sf,..ss-,,jfeoa- .-.,
One of the most disagreeable fiayors
impaired to cream is that due to the
suns rays striking directly upon and
heating the walls of a can, and this
flavor is invariably passed on to the
butter Where the cream is delivered
by Individual patrons the can should
be covered with blanket-Superin-
