Prof. Farrington : You probably won't destroy 

 any butter fat by keeping it any length of time. In 

 November I took and filled twenty test bottles, and 

 have been testing one of those test bottles once a 

 week ever since, and the pertentage of fat has not 

 changed. 



The Chairman : It is necessary to keep your bottle 

 corked so there will be no evaporation of the water in 

 the milk. 



Prof. Farrington : That wouldn't make any differ- 

 ence ; the fat wouldn't get out. 



Mr. King: I think the Professor stated that the 

 difference between the daily test and the composite 

 test was a little in favor of the patron, was it not? 



Prof. Farrington: — If the composite test shows a 

 little larger per cent, of fat than the daily test, it will 

 be in favor of the patron, but, as I told you, there was 

 only one case where this happened, and the difference 

 was very small in that case. In the tests that I have 

 made, the difference is as liable to be one side as it is 

 on the other. On the other hand, the time saved in 

 making the composite test, balances any slight gain in 

 the other respect.

 things to be considered. I know of no other interest
