No dairy cow should be kept unless she is making a profit for the owner. A satisfactory two-bottle test- er can be bought for about four dollars. The Cream Separator. At our creameries and upon nmny farms, cream is separated from the milk by means of the cream sep- arator. The principle upon which the cream separator works is very simple. The milk is whirled rapidly in the machine, and the heavier parts, which include water and solids not fat, are thrown to the out- side by means of the whirling motion. The cream, being lighter, collects at the center, from which it is carried by means of a spout into the cream vat. Cream may be separated in this way from fresh milk. Such cream will be sweet. The cream separator also removes cream from the milk much more completely than is done by setting the milk in Fig-. 58. Modern Type of Hand Separator.
