ILLINOIS STATE DAIR1 MEN'S ASSOCIATION. 141 



bother you a great deal and overflow. Mondays of course we have the 

 most trouble. 



Mr. Spicer: Do you run lubbered milk through the separator I would 

 like to ask? 



A. No sir I do not. 



Mr. Monrad: The speaker has brought up a question that we as an 

 Association should not pass over 1 ightly. That is the needs of our State 

 University, in the way of agricultural buildings. It has been my good 

 fortune during the past year to visit the Agricultural Colleges of Illinois, 

 Wisconsin, and Indiana and as far as agricultural buildings are con-

Mr. Ikert: About 25 per cen't. 



Mr. Newman: About two and one-half pounds. 



Mr. Powell: How thick is it practical to skim cream with a hand sep- 

 arator; what consistency should come from using a haad separator? 



A. My knowledge of the use of hand separators is very limited, but 

 in our creameries we try to get the cream at this time of the year pretty 

 thick. I like to have the cream of very heavy consistency.
