KEEPING CREAM FRESH

Although most people know that by scalding milk it will keep much fresher, even in thundery weather, not many know this method of dealing with- cream. Cream will keep fresh from one day to the next if the contents of the cream jug are poured into half a pint of freshly-boiled milk. The cream can he skimmed oif the next day, a.s it all rises to the top as it ■bools.
