. The butter industry, prepared for the use of creameries, dairy students and pure food departments. Butter. Care 01^ Milk and Cre;am on I^arm 63 Cleanliness of Separator.—The cream separator is a collector of many of the impurities contained in milk. These impurities are found in the separator slime which deposits on the wall and between the internal contrivances of the bowl. The separator slime consists largely of viscous nitrogenous matter contained in the milk, and a large portion of the dust, dirt and bacteria which may have reached the milk during its process of produc- tion. In addition to the separator slime, the bowl, at the end of the separation, contains remnants of milk, skim milk and cream, all of which are prone to decompose and ferment unless removed promptly. If not washed and freed from all these im- purities and remnants of milk of the pre^'ious separation, the separator bowl becomes a seat of contamination and the source of unclean, un- wholesome and filthy cream, the disastrous con- sequences of which no subsecjuent care or treat- ment of the cream can overcome. Not only should the separator bowl be washed after each sep- aration, but the washing must be thorough. The most aggravated cases of unsanitary and unclean cream, result from the use of separators, the bowls of which are never washed en- tirely clean and, while no large amount of filth is left on them, they contain just enough of old and decomposing matter to expose the cream of each separation to bad odors and to infection with germs capable of producing very undesirable fermentions and flavors, which are responsible for butter of inferior quality. How to Wash the Separator.—After each separation flush out the bowl, while still running, thoroughly with water until. Fig". 2. This bowl was flushed after use. If not taken apart and washed it will be foul-smelling- at the next separation. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digital
