If properly cooled cream will keep
much longer than milk for the reason
that it contains less milk serum or
food for the action of bacteria. 1t
should be kept in a pure atmosphere
so as to prevent it from taking up fla
vors by absorption. If cream is kept
washed several times during the year
Lime is great purifier. Never allow
vegetables to remain in the same room
in which cream is kept. During the
daytime the cellar should be kept
closed, but at night there should be
thorough ventilation.
