164 Testing Milk and Its Products. 



By weighing, sampling and testing separately the morning 

 and night milkings of twenty-one cows, deducting the weight 

 of milk in the samples and what was taken out for family use, 

 it was found that 9.04 Ibs. of butter fat was sent to the cream- 

 ery. The weights and tests of this same milk when delivered 

 at the creamery, gave 9.06 Ibs. of butter fat. 



200. This example furnishes an excellent illustration of the 

 accuracy of the Babcock test and of the closeness of results 

 which may be obtained at creameries when proper care is taken 

 in weighing, sampling and testing the milk. Similar demon- 

 strations may be made by any factory operator, and with 

 equally satisfactory results, provided the work is carefully done.
