Hardly useful instrument around
farm Is more neglected than the
thermometer. Properly appreciated. It
would serve the farmer In many ways.
Exact information on the temperature
of the air Is OF importance; but there
are dozens OF other uses.
A thermometer should be the con-
slant companion Of the dairyman. In
probably no other department Of the
farm can thermometer be used to
greater advantage than In connection
with dairy operations.
The temperatures at which milk.
cream, and butter are kept, and at
which the various operations Of butter
making are carried on, are very I'm
portant.
When milk Is to be sold as such II
should be Immediately cooled. The
reason for this is to stop the Increase
Of bacteria as much as possible. Bac.
terra win reproduce themselves every
half hour II the temperatures are
favorable.
If milk Is to be separated by the
centrifugal process, II should have q
temperature Of about 90 degrees If by
the gravity methods, It should be
cooled to so degrees very soon after
milking. The temperature at which
cream is churned is an important item
50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit is con
sidered about right. Butter should be
stored In cool place to keep 1t sweet
For all these purposes 1t is essential
to have thermometer, and one that
can be depended upon for accuracy.
The necessity Of maintaining cor
rect temperature In an incubator neet
not be emphasized. The temperature
is correct at 103 degrees, and It should
not go lower than that, especially
during the first six days. Some incu
bators have an electric alarm which
rings bell when the temperature goei
below 103 degrees.
