DAIRYING. 



Test of cream separators, H. H. Wing {]S!eic York Cornell Sta. 

 Bui. 66, 2^P' 161-174, pi. 1). — In connection with the dairy school, tests 

 were made of the following separators: Sharpies Standard Kussiau, 

 Victoria, I)e Laval Alpha Xo. 1, De Laval Alpha Baby No. 3, Columbia 

 No. 1, Butter Accumulator, and United States Extractor- Separator No. 

 3. The working of tlie Sharpies Imperial Eussian Separator was also 

 observed at a factory where it was in operation. The capacity of the 

 separator was observed in each case, and the percentage of fat in the skim 

 milk was determined gravimetrically. All the runs were short, espe- 

 cially for the machines of larger capacity, which made it difficult to 

 accurately estimate the capacity of the machines. In addition to tests 

 of the efficiency of the separators, determinations were made by the 

 mechanical department of the university of the power required for run- 

 ning the different separators. A summary of the results, showing the
