The milk is run from the weigh can to the vat, through an open tin conductor. 262. Milk testing. For testing the milk, we should have a thirty-bottle, steam turbine, Babcock test, and a Quevenne lactometer. The Que- venne lactometer gives a direct reading of the specific gravity, and is used in connection with the Babcock fat test for detec- tion of watered Milk Conductor Head, for running milk from weigh can to vat. 263.

Appliances needed. We will name over some of the minor articles needed in the factory, for some of them are usually found lacking, and sometimes there are not enough of the articles, to enable one to work handily. There ought to be two curd knives—horizontal and perpen- dicular—and they should be six or eight inches wide and twenty inches long. A rennet test will be required, and two or three reliable ther- mometers, for these are easily broken, and we must not run the risk of being without one. There will also be needed a hair sieve, linen strainer cloth, wash dish, two curd pails, three or four twelve-quart tin pails, several dippers, one of which has a flat side, and a perforated tin bottom, for skimming specks off from the milk. 264. Caring shelves. The shelves in the curing room are supported by cross- pieces, attached to wooden posts. These posts are 4x4s, reach- ing from floor to ceiling. The cross pieces are 2x4s, set into the 4x4, to keep them from tilting, and a bolt put through to hold them in place. The shelves are sixteen foot boards ; sixteen inches wide, and one and a half inches thick. They should be the clearest pine lumber Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Decker, John Wright, d. 1907.
