This cut down on bulk as the skim milk was left on the farms. The milk was cooled and allowed to stand for some time which allowed the cream to rise to the top.

A sighting glass showed when the skim milk was all off. The cream was gathered from the patron in tanks mounted on horse drawn wagonso The tank was made of wood and lined with tin (there was no stainless steel in those days).
