Where American Engineers Fail.
ron, the Engineering New

fron, the Engineering News
Notwithstanding the 'eading position
of the United States in crude oil preduc-
ton, every other manufacturing nation
in the world is far in advance OF us IA
the manufacture and use OF crude oil en-
gines. Many causes have operated ID
produce this result; but whatever these
causes, the fact does no credit TO Ameri-
can mechanical engineering ability and
progressiveness. The Swedish Diesel en-
CINE, which Is now TO be taken 40 for
manufacture here, has made an eHcen-nt
record in Europe, and its builders and
designers there are to take an active
interest in its manufacture here.
1t may be, as is often claimed, that
European engineers have gone TO al
extreme In the use OF crude oil engines;
but the steady increase in the price or
gaso inc here tends to make power users
In this country also turn more and more
toward the crude oil engines. In the
southwest and on the Pacific coast es-
peciaily there Is an enormous field for
the use of crude oil engines, which Amer
lean manufacturers have hitherto failed
to work to its full extent.

DISPOSlNG OF THE

CreamerieS are often so located that
it is almost impossible to dispose OF

them with a city main or a large
stream A septic tank may be then
the most convenient and best substi-
tute. For the complete success of

sary to make a filter bed or disposal
drain OF some sort Many persons
seem to think that the septic tank is
simply hole in the ground into
which the drainage from the factory
is run and comes out of the hole free
from all Objectionable odors and pol
luting material
In Wisconsin Circular of Intorma-
ton "a are given full directions for
constructing septic tanks for farm
homes. These instructions may read

BY c. E. LEE,

A large sum of money is lost an
nually in Wisconsin because of the
low score of butter sold at one to two
cents per pound less than the best
grades. This is not a loss that is
felt great deal by the factory own
ers because what remains after the
expenses and profits of the factory
have been deducted goes to the pro-
Queer of the butter fat. 1t is plainly
evident, therefore, that the loss to the
state on account of the poorer grades
of butter is the dairyman's loss.
In nearly every community tho ma
jority of the milk ana cream produc-
ers recognize this fact and are inter
ested in the production of the kind
of product that will make good but
ter. The few that are disinterested
or will not accept the advice of the
butter maker as to how better grade
Of cream can be produced, are the
ones that are responsible for Tia lcw
quality of much butter.
1t is not a difficult task TO keep the
milk pals, cans, strainer, and separa-
tor clean, providing the work is done
properly. Anything that has come in
contact with milk or cream should
first be rinsed with cold water, and
then washed with warm water con-
tanning sal soda, washing powder, or
good soap. The water must be as
warm as the hand can bear, otherwise
a coating of grease will remain on the
tinware. After washing with the
warm water, rinse thoroughly with
boiling water and place all parts
where they can be acted upon by the
sun during the day, Or where they
will dry well during the night. Do
not put the separator bowl together
until just before it is to be used. II
the separator is assembled while it is
wet, there is danger that rust may
form or an Odor develop that will
faint the cream If any of the read
ers of this article have practiced put
ting the separator together without
allowing the parts to dry, let them
take the bowl apart before it is again
used, and notice the odor. Too many
farmers do nothing more than rinse
the pals, strainer, and separator after
the nights milking This should not
be done. as it really does not require
a great deal of extra time to wash
them thoroughly.

FACTORS GOVERNING
RICHNESS OF CREAM
BY PROF. c. E. LEE,
Wisconsin College of Agriculture


The most important factor control
ling the richness of cream is the cream
screw in the separator, but even when
that is adjusted properly there will be
some variations in the per cent. of fat
in the cream.
Ordinarily, the richer the milk. the
richer the cream. When the cows are
on fresh June pasture, or when they
have freshened, they are likely to give
little poorer milk than in winter
when fed on dry feed or when they are
nearly dry. Accordingly, the cream
for June will at times show a varia-
ton of seven per cent under that pro-
duced during the six months following.
Not running the separator at uni
form speed will also affect the cream,
because the slower the separator bowl
rotates the thinner will be the cream.
II too much skim-milk or water is
used in flushing out the bowl after
each time the separator is used, the
cream will be thinner Use no more
than just necessary 70 free the bowl
from cream.
Sometimes the sklm-milk or the
cream outlet becomes clogged. inter
fering with the free passage OF either
the cream or the skim-milk through
their respective openings. These ont.
lets should be examined freQuertl y.
