Accounts with Milk 107 



each cow for but one day. The total record of 

 each cow for the week should be placed in the 

 right-hand column of the second form, and the 

 total daily record of all cows at the bottom. 

 For July 2, the first day on which the record 

 begins, the yield of milk of the ten cows was 

 159.9 pounds, and the total yield of all the cows 

 for the week, 1178.2 pounds, is placed at the 

 lower right-hand corner. To change pounds into 

 quarts multiply by .4649. To change quarts into 

 pounds multiply by 2.15. 



Milk that is rich in butter-fats is slightly lighter 

 than milk poor in butter-fats. "Heavy" cream 

 is lighter than "light" cream. The term "heavy," 

 as applied to cream, means that it is thick or 

 contains a liberal amount of butter- fats. The 

 designation is unfortunate, as to some the term 

 "heavy" gives the impression that "rich" cream 

 weighs more than poor or thin cream, whereas 

 the richer the cream in butter-fats, the lighter 

 it is. 



Suspend in the stable a good spring balance, 

 graduated to tenths of pounds. Many of these 

 balances are so constructed that the index finger 

 may be placed at when the empty pail is hung 

 on the hook, hence no tare will have to be taken 

 out when the milk is weighed. This supposes 

 that all of the milk pails are of equal weight. 

 It is a good plan to have a standard -weight
