EXERCISE XV' 

 JUDGING MILK 



i . Judge according to the official score card, the samples of milk 

 furnished. If enough score cards are not available, the page allotted 

 to notes mlay be ruled off and used to record the scores of the different 

 samples. Before beginning the work of this exercise, read carefully 

 the directions on the back of the score card and those on page 



NOTE : Plating milk for bacteria involves considerable time and 

 labor. If it is impossible to plate the samples judged, the bacteria 

 score may be called perfect, and the milk judged according to the 

 other points on the card. This will not give the true quality of the 

 milk, but it will give the student practice in methods of judging which 

 is the prime purpose of this exercise. This is particularly true in 

 regard to detecting flavors and odors.
