the cream is left there. This device will be on exhibition here 

 tomorrow. 



A Member: — Do you pour cream from one can to another 

 before you sample it or do you insert the tube without pouring? 

 Pouring a can of cream into an empty can and back again before 

 taking the sample is the customary practice in Connecticut. 



Mr. Smith : — If more than one weigh can is full, we usually 

 wait until it is in the large cans on the team before we take a 

 sample ; otherwise we take it in the weigh can after it has been 

 poured. 



Prof. Decker: — What do you take your sample in and how 

 often do you test? 



Mr. Smith : — In a bottle. We test twice or thrice a month. 



Prof. Decker : — Do you test each sample you get or com- 

 posite them ? 



Mr. Smith : — We composite them. 



Prof. Decker : — Don't it vary as it comes from the separator ? 



Mr. Smith : — I presume so. We take a sample every time 

 we gather. 



President Bruce : — Members of the Association, Ladies and 

 Gentlemen, I have the very great pleasure of introducing to you 

 Prof. H. H. Dean, of the Ontario Agricultural College of Guelph, 

 Ontario, who will now address you.
