A peculiar process of extracting cream from milk, by which a superior richness is produced in the cream, has long been known and practised in Devonshire: this produce of the dairies of that county being well known to every one by the name of " clotted" or " clouted cream." As there is no peculiarity in the milk from which this fluid is extracted, it has been frequently a matter of surprise that the process has not been adopted in other parts of the kingdom. A four-sided vessel is formed of zinc plates 12 inches long, 8 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, with a false bottom at one half the depth. The only communication with the lower compartment is by the lip, through which it may be filled or emptied. Having first placed at the bottom of the upper compartment a plate of perforated zinc, the area of which is equal to that of the false bottom, a gallon, (or any given quantity) of milk is poured (immediately when drawn from the cow) into it, and must remain there at rest for twelve hours ; an equal quantity of boiling water must then be poured into the lower compartment through the lip ; it is then permitted to stand twelve hours more, (i. e. twenty-four hours altogether), when the cream will be found perfect, and of such consistence that the whole may be lifted off by the finger and thumb. It is, however, more effectually removed by gently raising the plate of perforated zinc from the bottom by the ringed handles, by which means the whole of the cream is lifted off in a sheet, without remixing any part of it with the milk below.
