BANDLING THE MILE. 133 



not indue© the boy to remain on the farm. If 

 any person should do this work it certainly 

 should be the proprietor. 



The most practical power for operating the 

 separator is a tread power on which the bull 

 can be used. This exercise for the bull helps to 

 keep him in good condition and increases his 

 usefulness. The Illinois experiment station 

 uses tread power to exercise the bulls when 

 there is no work to be done by the process. 



I do not wish to be understood as opposed to 

 the separator, as I know very well that it will 

 secure for us the most effectual work possible. 

 I believe that we can make butter with a more 

 delicate flavor or, if you please, a higher flavor, 

 when the separator isi used than with gravity 

 methods of creaming. Especially will this be 

 the case in the dairy, as the milk will be sep- 

 arated immediately after milking and the 

 quicker it is done the better. With the utmost 

 cleanliness there is liable to be and at times will 

 be elements ta the milk from contact with which 

 it is best that the cream should be removed. 

 Any one who has operated and cleaned separa- 

 tors for a few months can realize this point fully. 

 In proof of this point, it has been learned that 

 milk for cheese-making is improved by running 

 it through a separator without separating the 

 cream. I believe Dr. Babcock has practiced this 

 in an experimental way.
