In the summer of '62, I got a summer job at a large commercial dairy, made $1.20 per hour which was the going rate I guess. I worked on what was called the Cream Floor ..... we had cream cans delivered from the trains and trucks from Northern Alberta, they came in the chute, we knocked the tie wires off and put them on a conveyor. Every one was then sampled and registered by hand in a ledger, the farmer's name and the tare can weight recorded. The little sample bottle for each can was tagged with a corresponding number and sent out for lab testing, butterfat % and all that. But right there on the floor it was tasted quickly (and spit out) as to the grade like table cream, #2, stink weed (yuk), etc. If a can came in with a mouse floating on the top of the cream and it was spotted, we mixed in a small bottle of red dye and shipped it back to the farmer full of cream. I heard that farmers would feed that to their pigs. Most nights when we cleaned up, there was a mouse or two around the drain in the vat we dumped the cream into so some were submerged and not spotted earlier. This cream was used for the most part for butter making. That summer I saw a Dutchman plumber (he wore wooden shoes and never wore socks) wade into a vat of cottage cheese in his bare feet to unblock a clogged drain ..... haven't had a lot of cottage cheese since, ha !!!

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
