Most farmers milked a few cows, usually by hand, and separated milk.

According to witnesses, the lime used in its construction was diluted with separated milk rather than water.

The machine does the rest, filtering the separated milk into that reservoir and funneling the cream out here.

A glimmer of light, from the kitchen at the other end of the hall, glinted on the big stone crocks that held the separated milk.

In Tamil househoulds, the separated milk solids are sauteed with jaggery (or brown sugar) and wheat flour to make a sweet delicacy.

In some Arab countries, such as Egypt, the separated milk solids that remain in the bottom (mortah) are a rare delicacy, and are eaten as a spread on bread.

Repair the dungchuck, monitor the sludge pool, fodder out for the herd, don't forget to wrap the expeller pipes to keep the separated milk from freezing, wood for the house, shovel off the old compost, we're trying a new formula this year- and so on, and so on.
