Table XIX. — Butter Scores mid Observations {Orrin Bent) — Con. 



Second period: Herd I., normal grain ration; Herd II., soy bean meal ration. 



Third period' Herd 1., normal grain ration; Herd II., soy bean oil ration. 



Samples of butter were likewise submitted to Mr. Orrin Bent 

 of Boston, who gave them very careful consideration, observing 

 them on arrival and likewise after they had stood for a week. 

 He scored noticeably higher than the New York party, and ap- 

 peared, on the whole, to think more favorably of the butter. He 

 occasionally noted the so-called oily condition in samples, but 

 in no way made it as emphatic as did Mr. Kieifer. . In the first 

 two periods the product from each of the two herds was scored 

 quite uniformly. In the third period Mr. Bent appeared to 

 notice more than did Mr. Kieffer the soft body of the butter 

 produced by Herd IT., referred to it in his letters and marked 

 it off frequently in body as well as in flavor.
