DELAYED MILK SEPARATION EXPLAINS BUTTERFAT LOSSES

DON’T TAKE THIS LYING DOWN . . .

2 tablespoons sugar 7 tablespoons Pet 2 tablespoons Milk cornstarch 2 cups cake flour★ 1 1/8 teaspoons salt 1/2 cup cold shorten-9-oz. can crushed ing pineapple 3 tablespoons water

Mix together sugar, cornstarch and teaspoon salt in saucepan. Stir in pineapple gradually. Cook slowly until thick, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Cover and cool thoroughly. Stir in 1/4 cup milk. Meanwhile, turn on oven and set at hot (425° F.). Sift flour before measuring. Resift with remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Work cold shortening into flour mixture with pastry blender, 2 knives or fork. When mixture has appearance of small peas, gradually stir in remaining 3 tablespoons milk diluted with the water. Roll out on floured board to thickness. Cut into 12 rounds with floured 4-inch cutter.

America must have a steady flow of money pouring in every day to help heat back our enemies.

The best time to separate milk is immediately after milking. If it’s done any other time, the farmer takes it “on the chin” in the loss of butterfat which may range from a modest amount to a quantity equal to the production of one cow in a five-cow herd—depending on the temperature of the milk at the time of separation.

This loss of 1.1 pounds of butterfat, as compared with practically no loss when the cream is separated warm, is like cutting a five-cow herd down to four cows. When the cost of feeding that extra cow is added to the price the lost butterfat would have brought, it is evident that a tidy sum is passed up during the course of a year. The only way to save this money is to separate milk at once. Letting it stand while some other chore is attended to is costly business. There is another threat to the size of the cream check by letting milk get cold before separating. Bacteria begin their growth in the warm milk. If allowed to stand and cool slowly in the air, bacteria will begin their quick multiplication and hasten spoilage. Milk should be strained and separated as soon as milking is done, and the cream placed in a smaller cooling can in the cold-water cooler right away. It should never be mixed with the cool cream in the holding can.

Don’t take this lying down

Milk comes from the cow’s udder at practically body temperature— about 98 degrees. That’s when the fat globules in the cream can be most easily separated from the milk. Separated while the milk is at a temperature of 90 degrees, 125 pounds of milk containing 4 per cent butterfat will yield five pounds of butterfat. But the same amount of milk, separated when 60 degrees cool, will yield only 3.9 pounds of butterfat. The 1.1 pounds difference has floated off into the skimmilk— a deluxe dinner for the calves, chickens and hogs, but pretty expensive for the farmer.

Cut 3 diamond-shaped openings in one side of rounds. Put about 2 tablespoons pineapple filling on other side of rounds, being careful to keep away from edge. Fold dough over filling, pressing edges together with fork. Put on ungreased baking sheet. Bake on oven shelf slightly above center, about 15 minutes, or until pastry is brown. Makes a dozen. ★To Substitute All-Purpose Flour for Cake Flour, increase shortening to 3/4 cup and increase both milk and water to 1/4 cup in the pastry mixture. For This Recipe You’ll Need:

IRRADIATED PET MILK.
