THE CARE OF CREAM,

quality of the cream is largely the re -
;suit of the care telt cream receives on

ing quality. Sweet cream that is pas-
turized to a high temperature and °burns
ed without souring, produces a butter

clean flavor almost indefinitely, when

PRODUCING GREAat OF FIRST
The fundamental principles for pro,
clueing a first -grade cream, are cleanne
nese of the cow and her surroundings,
eleen milking, cleanlinese of cream sap-
arator,..promptness of cooling and free

The cendition of the barn and yard
where cows are itept and the milis.ing
done, exerts a decided influence on the
Quality of. tbe cream produced. The
walls and the ceilings of the cow stable
*should be as free from dirt, dust and
colneele* as possible. The stable should
be .provided with plenty of controllable
Ventilation. The cows should be both
ecorifoetable and contented at ail times.
The 'milker's personal habits largely
determine the cleanliness of the prod-
uct. He shotild be per:zonally clean,
have cleanly habits, and enjoy perfect
health.
Rapt(' aoolipg Is possible only by set-
ting the cream cans in water. Air is
a -poor conductor of heat, and the ex-
posure of the cans filled with cow -warm
cream to cool air alone, fails to cool it
promptly. Water -*conducts heat over
21 times as fast as air; the cream set-
ting in water therefore cools many times
more rapidly than cream standing in.

to the polls on the last election.
"In Kazan one has only to walli
through the streets to cos that Moslem
wome.n aro socially the, equals of mon.
and have shaken off the shackles of
centuries of sex tyranny."
