DEVICE TO SEPARATE CREAM
Machine viii Often Pay for Itself In
One Year, Much Depending on
Number of Cows Kept.

The cream separator is mechani.
cal device for separating the cream
from the milk, almost instantaneously
by centrifugal force. Its advantages
over the old methods of separation
are:
/. II takes practically all the but
ter fat and will save from five to ten
dollars per COW each year over any
methods.
2. Skim milk has its greatest feed
ing value while warm, clean and
sweet.
8. The labor connected with the
care OF the milk can be decreased
and the profits from the cows greatly
increased because better quality OF
cream can be obtained.
A cream separator is an invest
ment and not an expense to anyone
who keeps five or six good cows, and
wants to make butter or sell cream.
A separator will often pay for itself
in one year, often in less time, ac-
cording to the number of cows kept.
With proper care and attention, a
cream separator will last decade.

CHURNING HINTS FOR WINTER
Butter.Maklng Troubles May Be Over
come by Keeping Cream at the
Proper Temperature.

Troubles arising from winter butter
making may largely be overcome by
keeping the cream to be churned at
a temperature of So degrees Fahren-
heit until two days before churning,
when 1t should be placed where the
temperature is about rs degrees Fair
enheit.
The cream should be kept at IS to
go degrees Fahrenheit during churn-
ing time and when the butter collects
into small nut sizes the buttermilk
should be drained OF and water at a
temperature of so degrees Fahrenheit
should be poured over 1t, repeating
the rinslng process two or three times.
With the last rinsing, give twenty
churning revolutions and draw off the
water. To work the butter, place the
particles on a fiat board and strew the
salt over 1t uniformly and work Just
enough to distribute the salt evenly
throughout the butter.

The answer, Of course, depends a

The important thing is that we know
