SELLING CREAM FOR BUTTER
Fewer Cans Are Required for Hauling
in Proportion to Its Value
Convenient to Handle.

A good cream separator viii skim
a 30 per cent cream practically as
closely as % per cent cream. The
only advantage of selling cream for
butter-making purposes which tests
% per cent or less is the very small
amount of mechanical loss. That is,
less will stick to the can and stirring
rod. But especially in warm weather,
when cream pours easily and me-
chanieal losses are low, a rich cream
is best. These are the reasons:
When cream is purchased on the
basis of its test. nothing whatever is
paid for any part of it except the but
terfat. The richer you skim it the
more skim milk is kept on the farm.
A rich cream-One testing from So
to 40 per cent-requires fewer cans
for hauling it in proportion to its
value, keeps longer in good condition.
is more quickly cooled and more
conveniently handled.
Transportation charges are less and
creameries prefer a rich cream, so that
after the customary starter milk is
added, the cream win be of about the
proper richness for churning. Every
cream separator has a simple adjust
ment for regulating the richness of
cream.
