DESIRABLE FEATURES
OF A SEPARATOR
By Prof. E. H. Van Norman.

Some of the desirable features OF
separator are:
/. Clean skimming under a wide
range of conditions, such as warm and
cold milk, and thick or thin cream
The skim milk from a good separator
properly run should not contain to ex-
coed one-twentieth of one per cent. OF
fat, and under ordinarily favorable
conditions should show even less than
that in the double neck test bottle.
2. Ease of washing; all parts should
be so arranged as to be easily gotten
at for Washington corners and
tubes.
8. Easy running. All machines OF
the same manufacture are not equally
easy running.
A. Durable construction.
