Let US see what some of the bene-
nus to be derived from the use OF a
cream separator are. First, it great
~ lessons the labor OF Swimming the
milk and handling the cream. AS
soo as the milking is completed the
separator Is started. as the work is
pest accomplished while the milk is
WARM In a very short time one has
'he cream In me vessel and the
sklmmllk In another. The machine
may then be taken apart and washed
IN a rev minutes. One never has a
lou or crooks and pans to wash and
air and there is work in warm wealth
er trying to keep a lot Of milk cool
until 1t Is ready to skim. such as
pumping a milk-box full of cold water
several times a day or running I'D
ana down cellar steps with heavy
crooks OF milk if the milk Is kept In
the cellar.

cream Is secured from ythe same
amount OF milk. The separator gets
practically all Of the cream from the
milk, while where the milk is sep
arated by water dilution or by the
deep a system only a part of the
cream Is secured. The rest goes to
the calves or pigs along with the
sk1mmilk. This item of securing all
the cream is'one Of the most imporss
TAM ones In favor OF the use of a
separator. The additional profit which

First-class butter cannot be
made from an inferior quality OF
cream, no difference how skillful the
buttermaker. The care of the milk
and cream from the time it is drawn
greatly affects the quality of butter :

there is the eam only to look after :
Until 1t Is ready for the churn. Sep i,

sold to a creamery will sell for
more money than that produced by
systems, and when made into
