102 AGRICULTUEAL EXPERIMENT STATION. [Jan. 



Table III. — Showing Results of the Test. 



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



The above 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 we accounted 

 for by means of this test 1.67 pounds, 3.50 pounds and 3.23 

 pounds. In the process of manipulation 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 curd basis of No. 2 ; this butter was not salted. 



Attention is called to the very large amount of water in 

 No. 1 , and the consequent low percentage of butter fat. The 

 butter maker reported that it was impossible to work out 

 more water. The Ijutter had a very inferior appearance. 

 Numbers 2 and 3 looked well.
