Comments on Table I. 



Column 1 represents the number of each pcatron ; cohimn 

 2, the number of spaces ; column 3, the pounds of cream -, 

 column 4, the per cent, of fat in cream ; column 5, the pounds 

 of fat actually furnished by each patron in one day's cream. 

 Column 6, showing the pounds of butter fat in 100 spaces 

 of each patron's cream, is calculated for the sake of compari- 

 son. Column 7 represents the value of the cream at the 

 price per space paid by the creamery at the time. Column 

 8 shows the value of the cream by Babcock test, on the basis 

 of 21.83 cents per pound of butter fat. This vahie per 

 pound of fat was determined by taking the value of the 

 cream as represented by the space system, and dividing it 

 by the number of pounds of butter fat actually found in the 

 cream. Tiic quotient showed the price per pound of butter 

 fat. Column 9 shows whether payment by the Babcock test 

 would be more or less than by the space system for thirty 

 days. 



It will be seen that the percentage of fat in the cream 

 varies very much. The extremes are 11 and 22 per cent. 



The pounds of butter fat in 100 spaces of each patron's 

 cream differ also widely, the extreme being 8.90 pounds 

 and 17.63 pounds.
