One of the most common causes
for dissatisfaction in selling cream
is the variation in the test. A
farmer naturally thinks when the
cream is from the same COWS, fed
the same ration, MIXED by the same
man, and when the same separator
is used, that the test, or per cent of
fat in the cream should remain the
same. When sudden variations oc-
cur in the test he feels that the test
is incorrect. It is true errors are
often made in making the test, es-
pecially in taking the samples. but
variations constantly occurin cream
tests that are not due to this cause
but to the conditions under which
the milk is separated. It is impos-
sible to run separator under farm
conditions without having variations
in the test of the cream occur and
in fact if the cream buyer should
always give the same cream test, it
would be more suspicious of dis
honesty than when it varies slightly.
Our experiments indicate the follow
ing to be the common causes of
these variations:
l. Variations in the speed of the
separator.
2. Variation in temperature of
milk separated.
3. Rate the milk flows into the
machine.
4. Amount of water or skim milk
used in flushing out the bowl.
.. Change in the richness of the
milk separated.
o. Adjustment of the cream screw.
Change in the speed of the sepa-
fator Is the most common cause of
variations in the per cent of fat in
cream. The greater the speed of
tneseparator, the smaller the amount
Oh cream and the higher the per cent
VI lat. a separator when run at
three-quarters of the regular speed
may deliver cream testing as much
as ten per cent less in fat when the
same machine is run at the regular
speed. When run at the lower speed :.
larger quantity of cream is Sc
cured and it always tests lower. A
variation in speed has a much great
81 eject upon some machines tn an
upon others. Speed also makes a
".uch greater variation in the test
