This percentage, 4.2, of fat in the milk would mean that 

 there are 4.2 pounds of fat in 190 pounds of milk. The 

 glassware must be kept clean so that the test and the reading 

 will be accurate. 



Skim Milk and Buttermilk are tested in special bottles 

 having double necks (S, Fig. 223) . 



Cream is tested in bottles with extra large necks (C), 

 because there is so much fat in it. The sample taken is 

 weighed instead of measured.
