We multiplj the amount of fat, 4, by 1.2; it equals 4.8. Then, we 

 find one-fouith of the lactometer reading (32), which equals 8. Then 

 we add 4.8 and 8 and get the result, 12 8, as the amount of total 

 solids in milk. 



CHAPTER XII. 



SPECIAL. DAIRY PRODUCTS. 



In America most of our milk is consumed in one of the following 

 forms: (1) Directly as milk, (2) as cream, (8) in the form of butter, 

 and (4) in the form of cheese. To some extent, there are, in addi- 

 tion, special products prepared from milk for a more or less limited 

 market. Some of these special products are fioding an increasing 

 importance in trade and others promise to become additional sources 

 for the increased use of consumers in those special forms. In some 

 of these special dairy products, it is easily possible for an enterpris- 

 ing dairyman to create a local trade. 



92. Special Milk Preparations. 



(1.) Blended Milk is modified normal milk, made from normal milk, 

 (a) by adding cream or (b) by removing a limited amount of fat, 

 or (c) by adding a limited amount of fresh skim-milk, or (d) by adding 

 cream and skim-milk at the same time. It is a violation of the 

 statutes of many States to sell blended milk as normal milk, except 

 when cream has been added to normal milk. Blended milk, how- 

 ever prepared, is really a special preparation and should always 

 be sold, not as normal milk, but as a special preparation with a 

 guarantee as to its composition. The most common form of legiti- 

 mate blended milk is the addition of cream to normal milk to such 

 an extent as to bring the fat io the milk up to five per cent. The 

 advantage of such milk is its uniformity in composition. It is 

 usually supplied to a limited trade at higher prices than prevail 

 for normal milk. Generally ,such milk is also prepared under every 

 precaution of cleanliness from the stable to the delivery to the con- 

 sumer. When thus prepared, it is often called "sanitary" milk, 

 and each bottle is labeled with a guarantee of purity. 



(2.) Modified Milk is milk so prepared as to make It resemble 

 human milk in composition as nearly as possible. Such preparations 

 are made in milk laboratories and their consumption is largely con-
