LOSSES OF CREAM

On many farms where only a few
COWS are kept to supply the home table
With butter and milk, there is not much
attention paid to proper methods Of
caring for the milk or cream. When
crooks O r pans are used for Dreaming,
there Is bound to be a great loss Of
cream, the result of setting the milk in
aeoor places n skimming before all the
cream has risen. These losses can be
overcome by providing a cool place for
Gre milk, or by using a small hand
separator, and separate the cream while
