without any financial return. Tlie extra labor has been 

 cheerfully given, however, with a belief that it has resulted 

 in positive good to both creameries and patrons. 



The inspection for 1902 is in progress at this writing (De- 

 cember 10). The inspector states that he finds nearly all 

 machines now in good working condition, the improvement 

 over last year being quite marked. 



It is evident that the creamery law has been of direct 

 benefit to the creameries of the State. It has decidedly 

 improved the accuracy of Babcock glassware, taught many 

 operators to be more careful in making the test, given the 

 majority a better understanding of the principles involved, 

 caused many Babcock machines to be put in proper condi- 

 tion to do accurate work, and replaced worn and antiquated 

 machines with those of modern construction. The total 

 expense to each creamery and indirectly to each patron has 

 been merely nominal.
