 in New York state : ^ " Butter in prints shall be marked 

 in terms of pounds or ounces in bold-faced letters at 

 least three-sixteenths of an inch in height." (For the 

 remainder of this regulation see par. 118.) Some con- 

 cerns have been so slack in business methods as to place 

 pound prints on the market that were one-fourth ounce 

 to one ounce too heavy. To prevent this loss, it is 

 necessary to watch the process closely and to make test 

 weights occasionally. Many large creameries weigh 

 each print to make certain that they are giving full weight, 

 and to check loss by over-weight. Delicate scales, of 

 which Fig. 53 shows an example, are necessary for this 

 purpose.
