used." Determinations made of the casein in samples of milk of each of 

 live cows taken daily for 1 Aveek, and in composite samples represent- 

 ing the same milk, showed a close agreement between the two methods 

 of sampling. 



An illustrated description of an automatic pipette for measuring the 

 acid for milk tests, which was given in bulletin No. It of the station, is 

 reproduced here, together with a brief account of a stand for holding 

 composite sample .jars. 



Application of the composite tent t» tltr Jairif. — The milk <tf each of live 

 cows was tested for 1 week, both by determining the fat daily and by 

 testing the composite samples. In the latter no pres«'rvative was 

 used, but instead lye was added at the time of testing. The results, 

 which are fully tabulat<'d. are an additional confirmation of the ai)i»roxi- 

 niate accuracy of the method of determining the average percentage of 

 fat by composite samples.
