CREAMERY BUTTER MAKING 



that month. On the weekly basis of testing there would 

 still be three tests to fall back on. 



Supervision of Test. To relieve the butter maker 

 from any suspicion of unfairness or carelessness in the 

 testing of the composite samples, one or two of the patrons 

 should be present at each testing. When one of the 

 patrons thus witnesses the details of the testing and is 

 furnished with a copy of the test, the butter maker is 

 practically exempt from the suspicions that usually rest 

 upon him, no matter how honest or careful a man he 

 may be. 



Duplicate Set of Jars. Where the testing is not 

 under the supervision of one of the patrons, some butter 

 makers have adopted the scheme of providing a double 

 set of sample jars. After the test is made the jars, instead 

 of being emptied, are set aside for a week, so that any- 

 one who has any complaint to offer on the test may call 

 on the buttermaker for a retest, another set of sample 

 jars being used in the meantime. 



Composite Cream Samples. When cream is received 

 in good condition, the method of composite sampling may 

 be employed in the same manner as with milk.
