THE TESTING OF MILK AND CREAM 139 



especially noted : Board of health readings can never be used 

 in these formulae, consequently B, of H. readings must be changed 

 to Q. ; specific gravity readings cannot be used ; the percent- 

 age of fat expressed in hundredths cannot be used. 



An illustrative example will show how these formulae operate. 

 Suppose the Q. lactometer reading of a sample of milk was 32.5 

 at 60° F. and the fat reading was 4.2 per cent, what are the solids 

 not fat? 



Formula 1 = 



L+.7f 



S. N. F. .7 X 4.2 = 2.94 



3.8 



2.94 + 32.5 = 35.44 

 35.44 ~ 3.8 = 9.32+ 



Formulating the above calculation : 

 32,5 + 2,94 =>N> 

 3.8 



9.32 + 4.2 = 13.52 total solids 



Using formula 2 : 

 L + F 



S. N. F. 



4 



32.5 + 4.2 = 36.7 

 36.7 -f- 4 = 9.17+ % S. N. F. 



Formulating the above calculation : 



**±i*-9.17S.N.F. 



4 



9.17 + 4.2 = 13.37 T. S.
