tlMtttt Patent of New Suction Feed

8klm Milk at Any Hpeed
IKDICATOHM AUK I NNIX KSMAHY
In view of the recent touts made by
experiment stations throughout the
country, in which it was shown that
nore than 90 per cent of all cream
.separator users were turning their
cream separators below proper speed
ad losing, colectlvely, more than
100.000,000 a year in cream profits,
which might be saved If the separat
or were operated correctly, It is In
teresting to note that a new-principle
cream separator has been patent
ed, which will eklm clean no matter
Whether the speed of the crank be
fast or slow an invaluable feature
Absolutely new to cream separators.
Cream Always Uniform
In addition to this valuable fea
rare, another advantage of the new
machine consists In its ability to pro
duce cream that Is uniform and even
to density at varying speeds of the
kandle.
The capacity of this new machine,
which is being manufactured by one
ef the oldest cream separator com
panies in the United States, Is term
ed "rateable", in that it may be in
creased at will simply by turning the
rank handle faster than normal
peed.
The new suction-feed principle, up
en which the success of the machine
depends, operates as follows: The
epeed of the machine creates a suc
tion in the bowl which sucks milk in
te It through a hole In the bottom.
Hence, the higher the speed, the
more milk is sucked in, and vice ver
a. Obviously, a very high centrifugal
ferce is necessary to accomplish both
functions, an this in turn is made
possible by the singular construction
of the separator bowl, which is in the
term of a steel tube, ranging in di
ameter from 14 to 2V4 inches-and
In length from 12 to 18 Inches. This
bowl is suspended from a single ball
bearing at top and Is driven by gears
which run in a spray of oil in a clos
ed case, protected from dust and for
eign matter of every kind. Because
of the high gearing of the machine,
the bowl achieves a normal speed of
16,000 revolutions per minute, which
Is very high, considering that no oth
er separator manufactured makes
lore than 8,000 revolutions. The
mailer the diameter of the bowl, bo
lus driven at this high speed, creates
an intensely high centrifugal force,
which separates the cream and skim
milk quicker and cleaner than any
ether type bowl ever made.
Cannot lie Overfed
An advantage of the suction-feed
principle lies in the fact that the
ante force which does the skimming
avlao draws the milk into the bowl.
When the speed is high and a large
amount of skimming force Is pres
ent, the suction is Intensified and an
equally large quantity of milk passes
through the bowl. As the machine
-slows down and the centrifugal force
diminishes, the suction is also lessen
ed and a smaller quantity of milk is
drawn into the bowl. It will be
een, therefore, that the skimming
force and milk feed rise and fall to
gether. No more milk can ever en
ter the bowl than will be skimmed
perfectly clean by the skimming
force present therein.
The capacity of the new machine,
by which Is meant the amount of
milk which can be separated In a
given time, usually one hour. Is reg
ulated by the suctlon-feed principle.
A cream separator of the new type,
in one of the average dairy sizes,
which skims 400 pounds per hour at
45 turns, will skim 500 pounds per
hour by 'simply Increasing the crank
peed.
It will be readily seen, therefore
that the Invention of this new ma
chine markB an important advance
in cream separator construction
Heretofore, it has been absolutely
necessary that all separators be turn
ed at a given speed, ranging from 45
turns to 60 turns per minute In the
respective machines. If this speed
not maintained regularly, the
separator did not skim clean and
larte Dercentase of the cream was
lost in the skim milk. At exactly
normal speed, that is, the speed indi
cated on the crank handle of the re
spective machines, all cream separ
ators skim fairly clean, much clean
er than any gravity or deep setting
system previously in use. Dut id
practice separator users cannot keep
the speed exactly right and thus lose
quantities of cream. The new Sue
tion-feed Separator has the advan
tape of skimming clean at any speed
high or low, thus preventing this loss
Purdue Teats Show Losae
Hecent tests made at the Experi
ment Station of Purdue University
Lafayette, Indiana, and published in
Bulletin No. 160, Vol. XV, Issued by
that Institution In August, 1914, are
In part as follows:
The proper speed of a cream sepa
rator "Is Indicated on the crank han
dle of the machine. It varies from
about 40 to 60 turns of the crank
per minute, according to the make of
the separator. If the separator is to
yield cream of uniform richness, it
must be given the same speed at each
Rkiunulng. This Is possible only If
the operator times himself frequent
ly, counting the revolutions of the
crank with watch In hand or by the
use of a patent speed indicator. The
absence of this precaution renders
the work unreliable. The general
tendency on the part of the operator
Is to overestimate the amount of
work he puts into the machine; the
machine is run at too low a speed.
Even the same operator, unless he
time himself, may vary the speed
very considerably at different times,
depending on bis frame of mind and
physical condition. Again, where
different persons operate the ma
chine, there can be bat little uni
formity of speed1 unless each person
makes an effort to count the cranK
revolutions by the watch."
One-half Fat IjohI at Ijow Hhh J
Continuing, this same bulletin says
regarding the effect of high and low
speed relatively, their experiments
showed "that the low speed produced
very thin cream, while the high
speed yielded cream of a very high
per cent of fat. The richness of the
cream varied from 10.8 to 62.7 per
cent fat, according to the speed ap
plied. The low per cent of fat from
the low speed separation was partic
ularly due to the great loss of fat. At
low speed, over one-half of the fat
was lost In the skim milk. This last
factor, the excessive Iobbs of fat In
the skim milk, Is In itself sufficient
to condemn the use of any speed low
er than that Indicated on the crank
of the machine.
"The speed of the separator also
affects the amount of cream produc
ed. The lower the speed, the more
cream. This lncrease'in the amount
of cream, however, is more than off
set by Its reduction in richness and
falls to fully compensate for the low
test. The total amount of butter fat
contained in cream, therefore, is
much less In the case of a low speed
separation than where the separator
Is run at the proper speed."
Speed Indicator Cannot Stop Ijonscs
Following the announcement of
the Purdue tests' a certain large man
ufacturer of speed indicators - con
ducted extensive tests to see what
percentage of cream separator users
were able to turn separators at the
speed demanded by the manufactur
ers of the machines. At the state
and county fairs, in the booths of this
company, separators of different
makes were set up and visitors were
isked to operate the machines ac
cording to the directions on the crank
handles. In many thousands of
testB, made In all parts of the coun
try at different fairs under widely
varying conditions, it was found that
90 per cent of the Individuals who
participated In the test found it im
possible to maintain the requisite
speed, even during the short time re
quired to make the test.
These facts obviously throw a new
light upon the practicability of the
cream separator and should serve as
a warning to the users of these ma
chines, who permit careless hired
men to operate their separators as
their fancy dictates, without having
some assurance that they are getting
the full percentage of cream and that
It is being delivered with some de
gree of uniformity. ,
Milk Test No Cure-All
It might be said in closing that too
much confidence cannot be placed in
the skim milk test as a cure-all for
butter fat losses. When a test of
this kind Is made, the stage Is usual
ly set for it and the operator keyed
up to a pitch which enables him to
make a good Job of it. When the
machine reaches maximum speed and
the creaom and skim milk are run
nlng freely, the tester is applied and
the result usually shows a very small
percentage of loss. But tests are not
made every minute and it has been
shown by experiments that a drop in
speed of two of three revolutions per
minute is sufficient to cause a cream
change from 35 to 17 per cent.
In view of those facts, the inven
tion of a cream separator, which pur
ports to skim equally clean at any
speed and deliver cream that Is uni
form in density at any number of
turns per minute, would seem to
solve a very serious problem for da
Irymen and. by preventing huge col
lectlve losses, add much to the profits
of dairymen In general.
The Nlre or the Daiu
There is a saying among stockmen
all over the worl'd that "the bull is
half the herd." and in judging anl
mala in live stock competitions
great deal of attention Is given to the
sire. Dr. Mary Elizabeth Bates of
Denver, who has charge of the an
nual baby health competition at the
National Western Stork Show at
Denver, and who has been making a
pectalty of baby health contests
rom a eugenic standpoint, has taken
BRue with the old saying as far as
human breeding Is concerned. She
n8lsts that the dam is really more
responsible for her offspring than the
sire when it comes to babies, and at
the annual Denver show, where the
babies are Judged by comparison,
he insists that the mothers be pres
ent and that the Judges when in
doubt take a good look at the moth
er. In live stock breeding the sire la of
mportance only when he is prepot
ent; that is, when he is able to re
produce himself In his offspring. This
s also Important because of the fact
that one sire mates with a number
of females and the uniformity of his
breeding depends entirely upon his
prepotency. In human breeding the
child may as often resemble the
mother as the father, and there
seems to be no statistics along the
subject of prepotency In the male hu
man. The old proverb, "like father,
like son," does not always apply.
More often it Is like mother, like son.
Dr. Bates Is making some investiga
tions In connection with the annual
baby show at Denver and hopes wlth-
n a few years to have some interest
ing data that should be valuable from
a eugenic standpoint.
The baby show at Denver is run
upon a strictly scientific basis, and It
s expected that the event in January
will be of more than usual Interest.

"Anyhow," Bald one to the other,
who was an adopted child, ,"your

Whereupon the other little girl re

to take you just as you came."
"What are you crying for, my poor

if anyone would see her ad, or, see

due to Jeer and sneer but It didn't.
The next day, from all over the
