Separating Milk
ByaW., X, Brainerd.

Tho three systems Of separating
milk IN most common use are: The
shallow pan, deep setting and centri-
fugal.
Tho setting Of milk In pans or
crooks. letting the milk stand for from
twelve to twenty-four hours, depend
ing upon the temperature, and then
ek1n1ming tho cream, Is known as the
shaNow-Dan system. This is the Oldest
method o. separating cream from
milk. and varies greatly IN efficiency.
depending very largely on how
quickly the milk IL cooled after COM
lnc rom the COW and how low a tenn
pefatnre IL secured during the cream
Ing process.
The deep setting system is used
almost a. much as the shallow-pan
No essentials OF this system are cans

about two feet Ions. which are placed
In cold water. Often trench is dug
in q spring house In which the water

trench. "
This .ts an effective and economical
method. bota as to labor and expense
Of construction. As in the case Of the
shaIfow-pan system the real efficiency
OF this system of separation depends
upon the Temperature Of the milk.
The best method Of separating milk
yet devised IL the centrifugal machine.
This machine involves considerab BILE

paots better results from 1t than any
other method. naturally-and he gets
them too. Whether a nan makes or
leses money on hts milk Is usually de-

start. but is worth having.

CITY CLEANING PLANNED
FOR THE INAUGURATION
Committee Sees Chance to Advertise
Capital to Thronss Who Visit
Here March 4,

Proffers to help In the clean city cam
paign are daily pouring into the hands
of the secretary of the clean city COM
mittee, DIR. Arthur L. Murray. OF the
District Health Department. Washing
tonians have taken up the committees s
idea of making the city unusually at
tractive for the throngs of inaugural
visitors with enthusiasm. The campaign
which the committee has projected, 1t
is pointed out. not only appeals to the
civic pride Of the Capitals residents, but
in 1t is a chance to obtain the most
favorable advertisement for Washington
throughout the country on account Of the
thousands of visitors coming from all
sections OF the country to participate In
or witness the Inauguration and the
suffragi5t demonstration.
Every resident Of the Capital is In
vited by w. II. Richardson to join his
committee for the weeks whirlwind cam
paign. 1t Is probable that a committee
of the various citizens associations will
be established to cooperate with the
clean city committee and direct the work
of their respective sections toward real
izing the plans of the committee.
W. II. Richardson. chairman of the
committee. will invite the presidents OF
the citizens associations to join with
him as committee OF inspection to
review what has been accomplished by
the campaign just before the city opens
its gates to its hosts of guests. The
brunt OF the campaign will most likely
be borne by these associations. though
from present Indications they will have
plenty of assistance. Mr.. Richardson
has announced he will give details OF
the campaign at the end of the week. so
that his forces will be ready for work
Monday.
