One of the greatest advantages o deep setting is the eonvenient OOBsia tcnce of the cream, which is reniovei in the host conditlon for thechurn, boing diluted with about one-half its bulk of mille. One cannot churu pure crean as it comes from a shallow pan, and it is alwaya necessary to mix it with a certain proportion 0Í mük at tke skimming to hring it to a proper state of dilutioiL Wnen set iu deep can, 20 inches or thereiihouts in dtpth, gooil milk, such as tliat of a Jersey, Uuemsey or Ayrshire cow, will show 5 or 6 inches of cream, so called, hut if this is removed and set again in a shallow pan, one-half of it will separate as milk. Thus the cream skinimed from a deep pail is just in the right conditioi for ehuniing, as it is skirnmed. Au other advantage is economy of room This is very important, especially whei a ])ool or other contrivance for cok water or ice-setting is to be construct ed. The dairyman will therefore nat urally incline to this mode of setting1 milk for cream. There ar?, however some poiiits about the use of (leep ean& whicta do not seein to be well umler stood, and frequent inquii-ies are made coneerning tliem. One of the most eonmion of these in quiries is as to the covering of the pails, or rather of the milk. A goot deal of fus has been made about the animal odor of mille, and this notion is at the bottoin of most of the trouble gratuitously made in regard to the covering of milk. If the milk house is fre from dust. there is no neeessity to cover the milk at all, but the imlk will take no harm from close covering. The method of submerging tlie pails, (a patentad one, by the way, aiul not to be used without paying royalty,) requires close covering, so does the Hardiii method, so called, of setting the p.iils in a refrlgerator wlth ice above it, whtcfa drips upon the pails as it melts. I have tried both these methods, and modifleations of thein. The common plan of setting the pails in a brick lined pool, supplird with a tlowing spring, whlch ki-eps 141 a constant current, is convenient for all pui-poses, and in this case the pails may be covered wiih an ordinary lid, similar to thatof any otlier tin pail.
