•dricable, because It requires a blgh
churning temperature, which injures
the quality o t the butter end muses a
considerable toes o f butterfat in the
buttermilk. It is also liable to reeuit
In too much water In the butter. For
those reasons only the churning of
cream will be considered. It la Just
as essential to obtain cream under
such conditions that It will be of
equally good quality as the milk.
Cream may be separated from the
milk by grarity or by a centrifugal
separator. O rarity separation may be
tccompUahed by the shallow-pan, the
deep-setting, or the water-dilution
method. The first two bare been ex-
tenslTely used end ere still In use
where Tery few cows ere milked. In
the first method the milk la pieced In
mallow pens end net In n cool piece
for about M hours, usually In a cellar
sr a spring house, and sometime« In
cold water, to permit the cream to
rise. During that time the surface, as
a rule. Is exposed to the air and fre
quently the cream absorb« or derelope
objectionable flavors. The skim milk
resulting from the removal of the
cream by this method usually contains
0.5 to 1.5 per cent of butterfat; that
la, one-eighth to one-third of all the
butterfht In the whole milk. It Is fre
quently eoor also; Its raise for calf
feeding Is Injured, and Its urn In the
household limited.
By the deep setting method the milk
as soon as drawn from the cow le
pieced in • “shotgun" can, white» Is
placed In cold water, preferably Ice
water, fur 12 hows. Because of the
quick cooling to n low temperature
the cream rises more quickly and com
pletely then In the shallow-pen meth
od and Is skimmed before Its fresh,
sweet flaror has been lost The re
sulting skim milk may contain aa low
aa 0.2 per cent of butterfat though
their reporte. The appalling sise e f
tha uadertaklng was reseated to tha
War Work Council. Systematisation
of tha work waa the first step. Ote
at the multitudinous phases certain
Unas of werk were re reeled.
