FIG. 99. Butter sample, 13.37 per cent water; leaky, 2 per cent brine. 



Microscopical views showing condition of water in butter. Fig. 97 shows that 

 the water has been incorporated in the form of very minute particles. Storch 

 found from nine million to sixteen million water particles per cubic millimeter. 

 Such butter appears dry and a little dull. Fig. 98 shows the water incor- 

 porated in medium-small particles. There were on an average three and three- 

 fifths millions of water particles per cubic millimeter in such butter. Fig. 99 

 shows condition of water in leaky butter. Storch found about two and one- 

 half million water particles per cubic millimeter in butter having such a body.
