and the average temperature of the starter will not be over 62 

 to 65 degrees during the night. If I could hold that right 

 through, 75 degrees is rather high. In the summer it does not 

 lack for heat, because you have warmer nights, and 65 degrees 

 will do it. 



Another thing Air. Mann referred to, and that was taking 

 the starter out of the starter can and then putting it in a jacketed 

 can to hold the temperature more even. We have starter cans 

 in Iowa now that are jacketed. They hold the temperature just 

 as good as any jacketed can I know of, and you do not have to 

 draw your starter out, but you can keep it there and it will hold 

 its temperature good. 



Air. Mann : — My idea in speaking of that was that a good 

 many of the boys use the starter can and ripen the starter in that 

 can. Perhaps some morning it is not ready and they have to 

 let it stand and in that way, of course, they have nothing to 

 pasteurize their skim milk, which would be better early in the 

 morning than later in the day. That is why I thought it best 

 to draw the milk from the starter can and have a jacketed can 

 to use for the purpose. That gives you your starter can to use 

 at any time.
