Preparing cream for city trade was
q subject discussed at recent eastern
dairy meeting. In the larger cities the
price of this luxury varies from cents
TO 10 cents per half pint. Cream that
brings 10 cents must he of the very
highest quality. Pasteurizatlon usual
ly enters into the process of preparing
it for market, but this IL not necessary.
Following is part Of the address given
ut the meeting by g. r. Thompson. 1t
will be of interest to all darymen:
"Cream will keep sweet for longer
period than milk. The thicker the
cream or the more fat 1t contains the
longer 1t will keep. This will very ma
terially help the producers
"The method of preparing cream

drawn into hooded pals through alb
sorbent cotton, then taken at once to
the dairy room, where nothing but the
dairy utensils and the cooling tank
are allowed to remain. 1t Is run
through a scrupulously clean separator
into cans which have been sterllized
and set Immediately into clean ice
water, where the temperature is below
80 degrees +.
"After the cream is cooled to 40 de-
grees or less it is bottled and set into
cases. These have a compartment for
each bottle and an Ice box In the cen

outlay for expensive machinery or for
