CARE OF CREAM
DURING SUMMER

Because of the general butter
market conditions, quality is more
important than ever before. Wheth-
er the butter is made on the farm
orat the creamery, its quality de-
ponds largely upon the manner in
which the cream and milk are hand
led. The system of grading cream
at a large number of the creamer-
les and making difference in the
price of sweet and sour cream en-
phasizes the Importance of giving
the raw product the best possible
care.
The two important factors in pro-
ducing good cream. are a low tenn
perature and cleanliness. If these
two essentials are properly employ
ed there is very little trouble in
getting the best price for the dairy
products.
When the milk comes from the
COW it is absolutely pure but the
contamination starts from the time
, 1t leaves the test until placed in
the vat at the creamery If the cows
are on pasture, there is less liza
bil1ty of dirt entering the milk dur
ing the winter. However, care
should be taken in brushing off the
dirt and dust from the udder, and
the mixers hands should be clean.
The milk should be run through
the cream separator as soon as pos
slble after it has been drawn. 1t
should be removed from the barn
and taken directly to the cream
separator and skinned.
When the milk is drawn it has
a temperature of 50 degrees Fab
renheit, which is just right for the
development of bacteria. If it is
allowed to stand around the barn,
the bacteria will develop rapidly
and thus make it muohmor diff
cult to produce sweet dfeaN. The
cream should be- taken tNom the
separator and coolsd at once, This
can be most easily(done by placing
the cans in small tank Of water.
The average well water has tenn
perature of about so degrees. This.
when pumped directly into the small
tank which has an outlet into a
large stock tank. offers the most
practical means of cooling the

cream on the average farm. The
tank may Nbe constructed of either
wood, steel or cement.
Shotgun cans offer the best
means of cooling cream because of
their small diameter and the amour
OF surface exposed to the water in
comparison with the amount OF
cream contained. The cream will
cool much quicker if it is stirred
at Intervals of one-half hour after
1t has been skinned.

the milk utensils used should all
be thoroughly washed with a brush
A brush is much preferred to q, rag
because of the bristles getting in
to the cracks and creyices and
cleaning the pals and cans thor

should be scalded and then placed
in the air to dry. Cans and pals
should be inverted but should not
have the tops closely against the
table. Pegs fastened into the wall
are a very good means of airing
the, milk cans.
One of the most important feat
ures in producing clean milk is
the covered milk pail. This is SIM

partly covered in order to prevent

THE HEARD
How 1t Acts In Every Day Life.

The human heart, in healthy man
weighs but eleven ounces. It beats
from long before birth until death, in
an average lifetime, about seven mill
lion times, allowing seventy beats to
the minute. Every twenty-four hours
this slight organ performs labor
equivalent to lifting ton of material
eighty feet into the air. If the blood
becomes poor, and filed with poisons
from diseased kidneys, the heart is not
only starved, but poisoned as well. Il
soon becomes exhausted and unable

little more expensive than the or
binary open pail and practical use
shows that they are very desirable
for the average farm.
Those who are producing the best
grade of cream have constructed
small milk houses. These are mex

pump. The cooling tank, as well as
the cream separator, are placed
in them. thus concentrating the
work and making it easier to pro-
