THE HAND SEPARATOR. 
The creamery system of Connecticut is conducted almost with- 
out exception on the cream gathering method. The Cooley 
system of raising cream is still used by the larger number of 
dairymen, but the centrifugal method is rapidly gaining ground. 
The following table shows the number of separators and Cooley 
creamers used by the patrons of eighteen creameries, as re- 
ported in 1903. Out of a total of 1362 patrons, 256, or 19 per 
cent., were using separators.
