THE GUERNSEY BREED 



3. Under no circumstances shall more than two cows under- 

 going test be milked at the same time. The supervisor must in 

 every case be in position to observe the milker or milkers throughout 

 the whole milking. 



4. Immediately after the milk is drawn he shall take charge of 

 the pail and contents, weigh the same on scales, the accuracy of 

 which he has tested', and enter the exact weight of milk, at once, on 

 his record. He shall also test the scales of the owner to see if they 

 correspond with his own. 



5. As soon as the milk has been weighed and is thoroughly 

 mixed by pouring it from one pail to another, or by means of a dip- 

 per, a sample is immediately taken. The supervisor takes charge of 

 and is personally responsible for this sample. The owner has the 

 right to demand' from the supervisor duplicate samples for testing. 



The test is proceeded with as soon as convenient after the milk 

 has cooled to ordinary room temperature. 



6. Duplicate fat determinations are always made by the Babcock 

 or Gerbher test, and both determinations recorded. Readings of 

 the result are made about 130 F.; the test bottles are preferably placed 

 in a small tin pail containing water of this temperature for five min- 

 utes before the readings are taken. If duplicates vary more than 

 two-tenths of 1 per cent, the test must be repeated. The sample 

 taken from any one milking is not thrown away until a satisfactory 

 result is obtained. The supervisor shall enter at once the results 

 obtained on his record' book. 



7. The supervisor shall be required to pay special attention to 

 the filling out of the test report blanks, especially as to dates of 

 calving, service, in heat, or not served, etc. Any sickness or other 

 conditions shall be made a note of. 



8. The supervisor is not at liberty to decide as to which stipula- 

 tions contained herein are essential, and which are not, but is re- 

 quired to observe these directions in all details. He shall report 

 promptly any irregularity or unusual occurrence in connection with 

 the test which he may observe, and shall in general, take all means 

 to conduct a fair and equitable test of the cows placed under his 

 supervision.
