Show experiments at the A C we have during tile the past two months been doing a little work iu in comparing different methods of skimming Z milk As it was the intention teli tion to 10 make as wide an application of the th c results as possible it was aias thought that samples obtained from people in the valley would make our deductions much more practical we ave would therefore like to get as many samples of skim milk either from deep pails or creamery shallow sli allow pans or from separators as possible taking tile the sample As soon as skimmed mix the milk thoroughly by pouring 0 two or three times from one pail to another and then take a cupful from it as a sample a smaller quantity will do As the weather is warm the sample may he be preserved from souring 0 by using of potash buy five cents worth at a druggists vt pulverize ize it and what can be lifted on a dime will preserve a pint of milk for a I 1 week the substance is poisonous but the color of the sample would at once tell what it was if the following points were noted the results would be much more satisfactory 1 what was the method of creaming used shallow pans deep pa pails ils or separator 0 2 temperature of milk when set 3 3 3 temperature of water used in deep setting 0 or temperature of room when set in shallow pans 4 length of time from setting to sa s1 skimming 5 temperature of water around deep pais pails when skimmed we haye bays found from our observations that losses in creaming range from practically nothing to three quarters of a pound and even over one pound of butter in in one hundred pounds of skim milk NY which may mean whether a person is getting ettin 50 cents or 70 10 cents per hundred for his milk even at present prices the information I 1 think should be of value to every person who keeps cows any person that will bring us samples of of skim milk with the information asked above can have his cows tested also free of charge the taking in 0 of the sample and method of preserving it being the same aa a for for skim milk but a fain sample le from night and dornill morning mixed would rould give nearer the average P 13 agricultural college logan utah 11 S we can test milk only on mondays Ion days wednesdays and saturdays F B L |
