Tills prevents d u st getting In ihe bearings A m achine should not leave over .05 per eent fat In th e skimtnllk when properly managed When th e loss ex ceeds this It is tim e to look for a cause. Beal good skim m ing does not leave over .02 per cent. It Is a good plan occasionally to make a test of both the skimtnllk an d the cream. T he fact th a t no cream rises on the skimtnllk overnight Is no sign th a t u s ep arato r Is doing good work When m aking b u tter on the farm In th e barrel churn I would have the cream tesi from 24 to 28 tier cen t fat. but If It Is to be sen t to th e cream ery have It from 30 to 35 per c e n t It Is our duty to help th e crenm erym an all we possibly can By sending him a rich cream w e do much to w a rd m a k ing the b u tte r a b etter quality. W here eight or ten cows are kept get a machine with a capacity of not less than 500 pounds per hour. All m a chines, except th e sm aller sizes, a r e so constructed th a t they may be connect ed with power. Very often when th e cows freshen tn the spring and w hen th e grass stim u lates the milk flow no change Is m ade in the a d ju s tm e n t of the c ream screw. Usually th e fresher the cows In milk and the heavier th e flow th e lower the percentage of fat. and so th e necessity for tu r n in g in th e screw, so as to have less skimmilk in the cream. P a ste u rizatio n of Croam . Pasteurization, w hile not rem oving all the 111« which a re ap t to befall cream, helps to a g re a t extent. For cream ery work th e practice c a n not be too highly recommended. On the farm, w here conditions a re u n d e r ' c u e ’s special supervision anil F o u n d a tio n Naedod. The foundation of the separator | should be firm. Even a slight vibra- 1 tion injures such a finely constructed piece of machinery. For the same reason the machine should stan d per fectly level. A small piece of qu arter inch ru b b er packing, placed under the legs before fastening, improves the running of au y separator. Keep all parts clean. Every week or tw o run it little kerosene thro ug h th e oil c h a n nels to remove the black grease and accum ulated dirt from the bearings, but do not fail to oil th e machine well afterw ard. Coal oil Is not a lubricant, simply n cleanser Use only the oil fur tiished for th e machine or one of equal | ly fine quality. When s ta rtin g the machine get up speed gradually P ut th e sam e pres sure on th e handle du rin g the entire circle of It and sustain an even speed For close skimm ing run th e machine a few tu rn s above th e tabulated speed ra th e r th a n below. Slow speed Is the cause of much poor skimming. Before turn in g on the milk put enough hot w ater through the machine to wet and w arm the bowl thoroughly This Insures cleauer skimm ing and i prevents th e cream from sticking to the sk im m in g device. Do not allow ; the milk to get too low In the receiving ! can or th e cream outlet may clog. The Inflow of milk Into th e bowl should be steady and should be ap proxim ate to th e capacity of the machine. If for any reason th e machine has to be left before tbe run is finished shut off the flow of milk nnd If convenient flush out th e bowl with a little w arm water to prevent th e cream outlet from clogging. At th e end of the run enough w arm w ater should be put through the bowl to force th e cream out. This w ater must be pure, for some of It of necessity gets Into th e cream, but allow only w hat Is necessary to flush th e cream from the bowl. Too hot wa ter will Rcald th e milk on the bowl and make It hard to clean. Skimtnllk may be used for flushing out th e bowl, but w arm w a te r Is better.
