Official Square Cream Cooling Tank.

By J. TT. FRANDSEN, Professor of
Dairy Husbandry, University of Ne
braska)
AS result of market Investigations
carried on by the United States dairy
division some time ago to determine
the quality of American butter, large
amount OF the butter examined was
found to be Of inferior quality be-
cause of the poor cream from which
it had been made. That such state
of affairs exists is bad enough but still
more discouraging is the fact that dur
ing the last few years the amount of
poor cream has not decreased.
When we stop to consider that the
production of cream and butter is one
of the leading industries of the nation,
the one industry that serves and has
served the American farmer well, not
only in years of bountiful crops and
high prices, but has been a faithful
standby in years of crop failures and
hard times, it is evident that poor
quality in the production of cream
must mean a needless loss of thou
sands. of dollars to the producers.
Moreover, it gives foreign butter just
the chance it would like to have to
compete in our own markets.
Although modern methods and ma
chinery have done much to improve
the quality Of creamery butter, the
most skillful ALTERNATING using the
best of machinery cannot overcome the
evil effects arising from the filthy
methods followed by some cream pro-
ducers.
Frequent experiments have shown
that low temperatures will greatly re-
tard the growth of most germs and
that cream quickly cooled will keep
sweet much longer than when it is
allowed to cool gradually. The prac-
tice of adding warm cream to cream
that has been previously cooled is rec
ognized as being extremely undesira-
BILE because warm cream raises the
temperature of the whole mass suffi'
GENTLY to start the dormant bacteria
to activity, causing them to multiply
rapidly producing large amounts OF
acid and also undesirable fermenta
tions before the cream is again cooled
to q point where their growth is
checked. Warm cream should be thor
oughly cooled before it is added to the
eJld cream.
From these facts it appears that the
most practical means at the disposal
of the dairyman for checking bacte
rial action-the spelling of cream-lies
in the universal application of low tenn
peratures in handling the cream. The
most satisfactory and practical means
of securing these desirable results has
been by the use of some form of cool
ing tank.
Recognizing the great importance OF
devising a cooling tank that will be at
once cheap, practical, and efficient, the
department of dairy husbandry of Ne
braska in cooperation with Profs. G.
l.. Mckay and F. w. Bouska of the
American Creamery Butter Manufac'
turers' association have spent much
time investigating this problem. An
effort has been made to perfect tank
that would be both effective and con
venient. Such a tank must be sub.
stantially made of good insulating ma
terial and able to stand up under hard
usage. 1t must have tight cover in
order to prevent loss Of efficiency due
to exposure of the cooling water to
the air. The pipe through which the
cooling water enters should discharge

WEEKS FOR CHEAP POSTAGE

Planning to aid legitimate bust
ness to throw off the depressing ef-
fects of the European war, Senator
John w. Weeks of Massachusetts, an
aspiring candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, has proposed
the reduction Of postage on letters in
tended for local delivery from two
cents to one cent. The reduction,
the senator believes, would be espe-
cially advantageous to all lines of
local business.
For many years the senator was
chairman of the house committee on
post offices and post roads. He is at
present a leading member Of the cor
responding committee of the senate.

GERMANYS "SPHINX"

They call him THE Sphinx in
Germany-that quiet, unassuming man
with the square jaw and the clear
blue, penetrating eyes, who next to
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is the
most popular military leader in Ger
many today. Like Won Hindenburg,
Lieut.. Gen. August Won Mackensen was
practically unknown even in Germany
until he penetrated the iron ring of
the Russian forces around Lodz early
in January and achieved victories over
superior Russian forces at Lowicz and
Wloclawek. His recent victories in Ga
licia have won for him the Iron Cross
of the first and second class and the
elevation to the highest distinction in
the German army-the title of field
marshal.

cember 6, 1S49, being the second son

overflow near the top and at the op'
posite end and should be of such size
that there will be no danger of water
rising above the tops of the cans
With these general requirements in
mind the committee, together with the
cooperation Of representatives OF 10
cal creameries, devised, constructed
and experimental with number OF
different kinds of tanks to determine
their cost and efficiency.
AS a result the rectangular tank
shown in Fig. gave highly satisfac'
tory results. Later round tank
lures of the rectangular tank, was
found to give satisfactory results and
has the advantage of being constructed
cheaper than would be possible for a
rectangular tank The committee is
still working on a substantially built
well-insulated metal tank.
Upon the recommendation Of the
committee the Association of Ameri.
can Creamery Butter Manufacturers
adopted the round and the rectangu-
lar tanks as shown in above cuts as
the official tanks of the association.
This association has already taken
steps to have these tanks manufac.
tured and distributed to parties inter
ested at the lowest possible cost. To
those desiring to build their own tanks

nished by the American Creamery But
ter Manufacturers association.
To sum up, it may be said that the
quality of cream produced depends
largely upon the conditions prevailing
on the farm. Cleanliness is essential
at every point. AS some one has well
said, "Clean cream, cool cream, rich
cream are essential factors in cream
production"
The responsibility, however, does
not lie entirely with the farmer The
same care that must be exercised on the
farm must be observed at the cream
station and creamery. The cream sta
ton must be provided with proper
cooling facilities and the quarters used
| for the cream station must be SAM.
tary, clean, and we'll ventilated, other
wise the work and care of the dairy
man count for naught.
Again, material improvement must
| come through cooperation with the
railways engaged in the hauling OF
cream, whereby at their junction
points at least shelter would be pro
vided which would protect the cream
| from the sun when left on the plat
form. Something, too, could undoubt
eddy be done toward providing more
sanitary and better cooled cars for use
in shipping cream.
In conclusion, permit me to say that
anticipate but little trouble in get
ting the hearty and intelligent approx
al of the farmers on this bad cream
propaganda, if, along with this de-
mand, will come cream price based
strictly on grade. AS long as the
cream producer sees his Indifferent
neighDor producing poor cream and
knows he receives the same price for
it, it will be extremely difficult to con-
vince him that quality really counts in
the making of butter. AS matter of
fact, however, one should not lose
sight of the fact that every additional
can of good cream helps directly or
indirectly the general average OF the
butter made as we'll as the price Sc

CZARINA CURED BY THE WAR

It is no secret that the mind OF
the czarina of Russia has been seri-
ously affected for many years past.
She was subject to a marked form OF
melancholia, with other mental peculi-
arities. Physicians who had examined
her feared that she was drifting into
hopeless insanity
And now, miracle of miracles!
Her mental sickness has been COM
pletely cured by the war. That which
has brought such unspeakable woe
and misery to millions of people has
brought relief to the once unhappy
cZarina.
It is the serious hard work she
has been doing as war nurse that
has benefited the cZarina's mind.
Coming into close contact with pain
and grim reality, with human patience
and human weakness has lifted her out
Of her life of morbid self-concentra-
ton and exaggerated terrors. and
made her normal human being.

This feast Of love spread here this morning in which we remember our Master, is a proclamation world wide and age long, of loyalty to His cause. There is no good, no cause which has moral, physical and spiritual welfare for its aim, that this great cause does not cover; and when this cause finally triumphs every wrong will have been permanently righted and every worthy human aspiration. have reached it's zeal. He expects His disciples to stand for the cause for which He stands, as He stands for it. It is not enough to be personally devoted to Him, to love Him; we must be de- voted to His cause.
