The Setting of Milk. ‘ A very large share of the milk skim- | med for private butter making in Indiana, is set in cans or crocks and the eream skimmed from the surface, i Milk msay be set for cream in various : kinds of vessels and under different conditions. The poorest method is to set i shallowr tin pans or crocks on ‘pan)try“ ehelves or in awellar. Milk thus set is expesed to a greater air contact than when set otherwise, axxd so is more liakle to be.affected by €njurious ‘edors, by diseases transmitted through the 3 @atmosphere, and by heat and cold. -Milk so set will oftentésies rapidly sour, ‘or in verywald weathse may fresze. If it sours badlly in summer, when skimmed curds will e likely te get in the cream and remai» more or less in the butter, after churning ‘arming white spots, thereby:=seriously iniuring the «quality of the butter. Or, if the milk «or cream freezes,an inferfongradc of Jdmutter will be made from t. If cream is to e secured by setting milk, the best plan will be ¢oo set the milk in.®2und tineens abeut 18 inches deep and 8 inches 4n diameger. If the : <an is placed in iee water or «old sprimg water, 4o the height of the amilk in the can, the.conditions for cream separatian will be_greatly .improved, especially if inside & refrigerator or creamer. This method helps kegp the milk at a uaiform femperature.and enabdes the cream . to rise.te best advantage. Sach cansas these, gpen at .the top are commonly known as “sh m” cans .and may be boughteaf di... y supply houses or can be made by any goed..inner. These.deep cans ~re skimsmed in ome of two ways—eith by a cenical skia " mer fram the su or by .means of .a faucet er yalve at i« vottom.of the cam, where the skim milk is degwn off. I experimenis at .the Indiana .station, im comparipg these tno methods of skim . ming, where the midk was skismed from - above, thawe was an average lass aboul twice as great as.w that skimamed by - drawing off {rom below. Iduring 15 days in February the average .lss from sas 034 per cent, ~ while that ekimmed {rom below showed .a loss of butQ.l7 per.eent. It is important that milk sheuld be «set only in &sin vessels of good guality. The cheap tin,sold on five and ten cent * .counters, is & thin .a wash, that it is xeadily corroded to the under metal, which gives a reinaus flavor to the milk if it.sours in the wessel 2t all. Where aused for holding anilk, the fin shouid be ©of XXX grade. This is wore durable, stiffer.and less affected by the acid in sour milk. In general, persons striving to makea fine guality of butter. should have g «abinet greamer.

A resoJution was passed asking for theappointment of a committee of 40 to prepare a plan for a more uniform course.
