PRODUCE HIGH
GRADE CREAM
tennessee Farmers Who Keep
Dairy Co IS Can Thus
Increase Profits
CLEAN MILK CLEAN CREAM
Maj Farmers Are Selling Cream and
Getting Regular Pay Checks in Re-
turn-Permanent Success Depends
Upon Production of Clean Cream.

Good, clean cream should be pro.
iuced on every Tennessee farm where
dairy cows are kept, according to C. A.
Hutton, Dairy Specialist of the Di-
vision of Extension, University Of
Tennessee, Knoxville.
"Just short while back" says Mr.
Hutton, "the Dairy Division of the u.
the Importance OF good cream to the
South, gave its recommendations,
based on years OF experience, The
points made by the government work
eTs should be we'll taken in Tennessee:
Clean milk is absolutely indispensa
BILE to the production of clean cream.
To produce clean milk the barn, barn
yard milFc7s, and milk utensils must
be clean, and the cows must be clean
and healthy.
THE cream separator and the milk
Utensils should be thoroIy washed
and scalded as soon as possible after
they are used, as particles of milk or
cream left in the separator or on uten-
sis act as starter and cause the
cream to sour more quickly.
Cream should be separated so as
to contain from 80 to 35 per cent of
butterfat, as rich cream does not sour
so quickly as thin cream. Rich cream
leaves more skimmilk on the farm for
feeding purposes, reduces transporta-
ton expenses, makes less bulk to han.
die on the farm and in the creamery,
and usually reaches the creamery in
better condition.
Cream sours very quickly at tenn.
peratures above co. F.; therefore, it
should be kept at as low temperature
as possible Cream should be cooled
Immediately after it has been separat.
ed, and should be kept cold until de.
llvered to the creamery. Cold water
is an effective agent for this purpose
Fresh cream should not be mixed with
cream from previous skimmings until
it has been thoroly cooled, as the
addition of warm cream raises the tenn
perature of the older cream and
hastens souring.
Cream should be kept in a clean,
well-ventilated place in order that OBJ.
jectionable odors may not be absorb
ed from the atmosphere.
In order to keep the cream smooth
and uniform and prevent the forma
ton of Jumps, it should be thoroly
stirred each time a new lot of cream
is added to the older cream.
"fn the summer, when cream is en-
route, the cans should be entirely COW
cred with wet sacks or blankets to pro.
tect the cream from the heat.
"To insure the delivery of cream OF
good quality, it should be delivered
at least twice week in winter and
three times week in summer"
