Relationship of Fat and Solids=not=Fat. In normal 

 milk a fairly definite relationship exists between the fat 

 and the solids-not-fat. For example, milk rich in fat is 

 likewise rich in solids-not-fat. On the other hand, milk 

 poor in fat is also poor in solids-not-fat. Hence the jus- 

 tice of paying for milk, delivered to cheese factories, on 

 the butterfat basis. See table on page 133. 



Composition of Cream. Cream contains all the con- 

 stituents found in milk, though not in the same proportion. 

 The fat may vary from 8% to 68%. As the cream grows 

 richer in fat it becomes poorer in solids-not-fat. Rich- 

 mond reports the following analysis of a thick cream :
