this season. The advanced stage of lactation in 

 cows has not such a marked influence on the churn-

The following table will serve to indicate the 

 approximate temperature at which cream of differ- 

 ent richness may safely be churned. As the seasons 

 of the year have some influcnee on the temperature 

 at which eream should be churned a division is made
