NOVELTIES IN DAIRY APPLIANCES

Ax the Royal Society's Show of this year, several novelties were introduced by the Dairy Supply Company, of London. We do not include the " Baby " cream separa(or, though that is a novelty as far as the Royal Show is concerned. Entirely new, however, is a milk heater, to be set over tho Laval separator, so that tho milk can I? ok into and over it and be brought up to tho proper temperature. The heating is done by steam, and there is a thermometer to indicate temperature. This is a very useful invention. Not less useful is another no\eltyfor raising the skim milk after it flows from the separator, which the Laval machine has not previously been able to accomplish. Power is obtained from the spindle of the separator, so that tho milk can be raised to a height of 16ft., if required, as it flows away. Kerrs patent butter-printing machine is another novelty on this stand ; it is a very ingenious contrivance for pressing butter into pats of various sires* and stamping them. Different machines are required for small and large pats, ono of them being suited for pound pats. The Sandringh&m Milk Balance, or Dairy Herd Recorder, is a remarkably handy apparatus, which is certain to come into common use. It consists of a self-register-ing Bpriner balance on a tripod, and all that the milker has to do in weighing his milk is to hang hie pail on the balance. Yet another new introduction is Blanchards factoty butter worker and blonder— quito a difforenT><fovtts o£ paachino from tho other workers in uao. The principle of operafcioc fs that of dnect pies&uro between l\\<> Imcjo ivuod-co\eied cylinders, m Inch do not in oak or tear the butl~r, but pre&er\ o itb granular condition, Labt, but not least., among tho novelties on this prolific stand is the stuam turbii.o churn, worked by a boiler and tin bine, instead of a steam engine and boiler. The same boiler will t-er^e foi the Laval tm bine separator nnd the turbine churn, — Ayrii'itffiimf (lazittv.
