fied. Then mix thoroughly by pouring back and 

 forth a few times and quickly take a sample with 

 a perfectly graduated pipette. The composite sam- 

 ple should be warmed every time b'efore sampling 

 for testing — in summer as well as in winter. The 

 impression that summer temperature is warm 

 enough for accurate sampling of composite samples 

 for testing is erroneous. In my experience I have 

 found that much of the trouble with variations in 

 the test is due to neglecting to warm the composite 

 sample before taking a sample for testing. The ex- 

 tra lime required in properly caring for milk sam- 

 ples is time well spent and the creamery man is re- 

 paid in the satisfaction given both to himself and 

 his patrons by the knowledge that the test is abso- 

 lutely correct.

 patrons themselves. Since circumstances and con-

 creamerynian to study conditions existing in his 

 factory and make arrangements to suit his individu- 

 al case. But whatever arrangements are made for the 

 receiving of cream, they should be durable,, sanitary 

 and convenient.
