102 AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Table III. — Showing Results of the Test. 



* Not salted, but equal to about 2.60 pounds salted butter. 



The al)ove table shows the reliability of the Babcock test. 

 Please notice that in the cream churned there were 1,68, 3.57 

 and 3.32 pounds of butter fat respectively, and Ave accounted 

 for l)y means of this test 1.67 pounds, 3.50 pounds and 3.23 

 pounds. In the process of ma-nipulation small fractions are 

 of course lost ; the results, however, tally very closely, and 

 as near as one could expect or ask for.

* Calculated on salt and cnrd liasis of No. 2; this luitter was not salted. 



Attention is called to the very large amount of water in 

 No. 1, and the con8e(]ucnt low percentage of butter fat. The 

 Initter maker reported that it was impossible to work out 

 more water. The 1)utter had a very inferior appearance. 

 Numbers 2 and 3 looked well.
