And the Horticulture Buildings: University Farm, Davis October 24, 1922 Perhaps sometime someone will paint a series of pictures representing the progress of the dairy industry and showing how this progress has depended upon the application of knowledge developed through scientific research. The first picture would date before civilization and would not show much in the way of food, clothing or shelter for humanbeings but it would show enough to impress the fact that dairying is the oldest of our great industries. History tells us that the Scythians and the Greeks used butter 2500 years ago. Ancient pictures show how the Arabs made butter by churning milk in bags of skin which were agitated by swinging back and forth when suspended from the limb of a tree. Finally it Was discovered that cream would rise to the surface and that this was the important part of milk for buttermaking. Then during a period of hundreds of years, cream was raised by the gravity method. As a little boy _i can remember helping to skim the milk from large shallow pans which were kept on shelves against the cellar wall. I Wonder if anyone ever has computed the amount of butter fat that was lost during the years of shallow pan creaming. We now say that the problem of creaming milk in the days of our grandfathers was simple. But at that time it was difficult. Most people, if they thought about it at all, prob ably thought the shallow pan system was near enough to perfection. A few were trying to think of more efficient methods but their range of thinking did not go beyond the natural gravity process. Gradually deep setting methods were developed and proved to be an advance over the old style. These methods depended upon the same general principles as the older method and were an improvement because of certain minor changes.
