518 The Trials of Cream Sepiwaicrrs at Do'iicasiei'. 
putting together again one-and-a-quartei- minute. Cleaning 
could be very easily done. 
To this machine an equal Second Prize with the " Alpha 
Baby " was awarded. 
A perusal of the foregoing notes will readily show that, by 
virtue of the large quantity of milk it could deal with, the 
small expenditure of power and moderate cost of the latter in 
relation to quantity separated, as also by the efficient separation 
it achieved, the power of regulating thickness of cream, and 
general good construction, the "Alpha Windsor" obtained the 
highest award. 
Between the merits of the " Alpha Baby and the Danish 
machine the Judges could not discriminate, for, while the former 
gave rather a better result as regards power and efficiency, yet the 
separation and regulation of cream, as well as facility for clean- 
ing, were superior in the Danish machine. The " Alexandra " 
failed entirely in regulating the flow of cream, and did not show 
the good result as to power that the " Alexandra " power 
machine did in the other class. It was, however, the easiest of 
all to clean. The " Baby " machine failed principally in the 
matter of efficiency, and in regulating the thickness of cream ; 
the " Victoria," while giving the best separation, showed also 
high cost for the power; and lastly, the" Windsor" required 
rather much power, and gave less efficient separation, with more 
loss of milk. 
The trials showed that the new improvement in the addition 
of the discs was very effective, and constituted a distinct 
advance, so that the extra care and cost would be warranted. 
In the " Laval " machines the horizontal type had the advantage 
over the vertical, of separating a larger quantity, and of 
regulating the thickness of cream better, while, on the whole, 
the power required was no more and the separation as effectual. 
The Judges accordingly made their awards in this class^as 
follows : — 
First Pktze of 30/. to Daiet SrrrLY Co. for No. 1230, The "Alpha Wind- 
sor," price 281.

The Judges desire to express their obligations to the 
Steward of Dairj-ing, the Hon. Cecil T. Parker, and to the Hon. 
Alex. Parker, Assistant-Steward, for the help they rendered 
during the four days of the trials, and the provision by them of 
all that was requisite for the proper carrying out of the same.
