THE EVENING STAR. The Effect of Cold Weather on Cream. Judging from the management of the dairies of many of our farméte, and alsoin many of the larger onee, where the butter is the chief | object, the managers seem little to understand the effect ot a low temperatare, upon the rais- ing of the cream, or at least they do notarrange | their miik so is to obtain the greatest amount of cream. There are several conditions which do much to modify the quantity of cream which may be derived from any given quantity of milk ; the fatty matter which afterwards com- ‘the butter is held in suspension by the ‘water of the milk, and hence, when standing in the udder of the cow the best and most rich r urface, aud consequently aes ieattirewste "Sy ‘the posi mode of milk- | ing, the poorer and richer portions of the milk ; are last drawn. become mixed together, and the separation of the cream is made far more difficult and slow. In most of the large English dairies, and in some of the best ordered in this country, it is the rule to divide each cow’s milk into two portions at the time of milking, and those two portions are kept entirely separate until the cream is al! raised, when it is sometimes mix- ed, but oftener kept eeparate altogether. In some of the large dairies of Devonshire, each milker has three buckets, and divides each cow’s milk into three portions, which with their cream are kept entirely separate. It has been stated by eminent English dairymen that if the first two-thirds of the cow’s milk is kept seperate from the remainder, at least ten per cent. more cream may be obtained. Those who make butter can calculate whether this will pay tor the extra labor which is incurred. Anoiher mistake very often made is that of Ete too much milk in the pans ;experiment | as proven that if we taketwo equal quantities of milk and place one in pans to the depth of | moore fu! six inches, and the other to the depth of only two and one-half inches, the latter will yield from seven to eight per cent. more cream than the former. This is the case more par- ticularly in cold and damp weather, and at this time the mistake is most commonly com- mitted. The temperature of the surrounding air has also a greatetfect upon the time required for the raising of all the cream ; experiment has demonstrated that the process is more rapid io warm than in cold weather. meter at £0 degrees, all the cream will raise i in 10 hours. 7 mR « 68 “ “ “ mw 4 3 “ “ mw 4 50 “ “ 36 “ “ eu Sprengle tound that ifthe milk was kept ata temperature as low as 37 deg., but little cream would raise in three weeks. In order to avoid the trouble of keeping the - ‘cream at the proper temperature, it is custom- ary insome dairies to churn the whole milk. The advantages claimed by those who follow this plan may be briefly stated thus: The Bre per temperatnre can be readily obtained th in summer and in winter; five per cent. more butter can be obtained from the same milk ; the butter is not only of the best quality while tresh, but if properly managed will keep much better. This plan would not work so well in the neighborhood of a good market for skim milk, but when cheese is an object, there wonld be little or no difference, for the buttermilk will make as good a cheese as skim milk. iu summer it is difficult to reduce the temper- ature of the cream as low as 55 deg., but the whole milk need only be reduced tos deg., to which most cellars, without difficulty, re- duce it. Tn Lrittany, the milk of the previous even- ing is mixed with the morning's milk, and af- ter standing a few hours, the whole is churned, and is said to produce a larger amount ot but- ter, of a better quality, and will keep longer. —Ger.

Isasness, to injure the reputation of our genuine prodacts,—to protect our own interests and the public from imposition, we again publish the trade marks by which our Watches may in- variably be known. We manufacture four styles of Watches— ‘The ri2z87 bas the name “AMERICAN WATOH CO., Waltham, Mass,” engraved on the inside plate. The sECOXD tas the name “ APPLETON, TRACY & OO., Waltham, Mass,’’ | engraved on the inside plate, The rHxp has tle same “P. 8, BARTLETT, Waltham, Mass.” engraved onthe inside plate. - - All the above styles have the name American ‘Watch Oo. painted on the dial, and are warranted in every respect. The rourtH has the name “ WM. ELLERY, Boston, Mass.” engraved on the inside p' and is not named on the dial. All the above described Watches are made of | ‘various sizes, acd are cold in geld and silver cases, as may be required, It is hardly possible for us to accurately describe the numerons i-citations to which we have alla ded. They are usually inscribed with names so nearly approaching cur own as to escape the ob- servation of the unaceustomed buyer. Bome are represented as made by the ‘Union Watch Co., of Boston, Mass.”—no such company existing. Some are named the “Boldier’s Watch.’? to be sold as our Fourth or Wm. Ellery style, usually known as the “Soldier’s Watch ;” others are named the “Apple ton Watch Co.;” others the “P, 8, Bart-/ey,”’ in- stead of our P. 8. Bartlett, besiles many varicties mamed in such a manner as to convey the idea that they are the veritavie productions of the American Watch Company. A hittie attention on the part of buyers will pro- tect them from gross imposition. ROSBILS & APPLETON, Agents for the American Watch Company, JaMeo'm 152 Broa¢wsy, New York.
