100 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Attention is also called to the last column, which makes 

 emphatic that by the Babcock system those patrons furnish- 

 ing the l)ctter to best qualities of cream would be paid more, 

 and those furnishing the i)oorer qualities would be paid less, 

 than by the present system. 



Summary of Table I., showing Butter Equivalent from 100 Spaces 

 of Graded Cream, and Value of Same. 



* Figured on the basis of 11.5 pounds of butter fat. 



This sunnnary gives us at least a comparative idea of the 

 difierent qualities of cream furnished, and their a})proximate 

 values in butter. It brings out the variations in a very 

 striking manner, and needs no further explanation. 



Is the Weight of the ^^Sjiace" Constant? 

 In order to show the variations, the weight per space of 

 the cream collected from thirty-six different patrons on two 

 consecutive days is given in Table II. Beginning from the 

 left, each fraction of a pound shoAvs the weight of a space of 

 each patron's cream. 



Table II. 

 First Day. 



Average weight of a space,
