Mr. Pethebridge: We have now reached another stage in 

 the butter making. Be sure and strain all the water before you 

 make use of it for your churning. You will see the neccessity of 

 that every time you strain, there is always some sediment, and 

 that means black specks in the butter. 



A Member: What is the difference in the effect on the butter 

 if you churn slowly or fast.^ 



Mr. Pethebridge: It will take longer to come when it is 

 churned slowly. If you have a full churn you want to churn a 

 little faster than if you have rather an empty churn. You have 

 got to get your friction to release the globules. Now, we will 

 wash down the churn. 



Mr. Bates: There is a churn now that makes butter from 

 milk. Is that a success.'^ 



Mr. Pethebridge: I don't think so. There was a party at 

 one of our creameries, showing the farmers what he could do 

 with that churn. It is just an open pail. I asked the question 

 as to what we would do in a warm temperature with an open 

 churn like that, and he said, " The motion creates a circulation 

 that cools it." "Well," I said, "I guess not, all the friction 

 you can create there won't lower the temperature one iota. " 

 We had some further talk and I pinned him down quite close, 

 and I said, " I will bring some cream down from the creamery 

 after dinner and we will make some experiments, see what you 

 can do." He says, "All right." After dinner I went down 

 and he was gone and that was pretty good evidence to me that 

 he was a kind of a fraud. At any rate his churn would not be 

 what a farmer could use. You can't churn in an open pail in a 

 place where there are flies and dirt. 



Mr. Boyd: That question can be answered in another way. 

 Any churn will make butter from milk if the milk is ripened as 

 the cream is and it will churn just as exhaustively. 



The Chairman: These people claim that they make butter 

 out of perfectly sweet milk and I guess they do, but the idea of 

 their getting one-third or one-half more I am sure cannot be 

 carried out.
