Section 20. Instruments for Measuring Milk and Cream 

 Standards. — The State standard milk measure or pipettes shall 

 have for milk a capacity of seventeen and six-tenths cubic ceii- 

 temeters, and the State standard test tube or bottles for milk 

 shall have a capacity of two cubic centimeters at a temperature 

 of sixty degrees Fahrenheit between "zero" and ten on the 

 graduated scale marked on the necks thereof. For cream nine or 

 eighteen grams shall be used, and the standard test tubes or 

 bottles for cream shall have a capacity of three or six cubic cen- 

 timeters, respectively, at a temperature of sixty degrees Fahren- 

 heit between "zero" and thirty on the graduated scale marked on 

 the necks thereof, and it is hereby made a misdemeanor to use 

 any other measure, pipette, test tubes or bottle to determine the 

 per cent of butter fat where milk or cream is purchased by, or 

 furnished to creameries or cheese factories, and where the value 

 of said milk is determined by the per cent of butter fat con- 

 tained in the same. Any manufacturer, merchant, dealer, or 

 agent in this State who shall offer for sale or sell a cream or 

 milk pipette or measure, test tube or bottle which is not correctly 

 marked or graduated as herein provided, shall be guilty of a mis- 

 demeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished as pro- 

 vided in this Act. 



Section 20a. No person shall operate a milk or cream test- 

 ing apparatus to determine the percentage of butter fat in milk 

 or cream for the purpose of purchasing the same either for him- 

 self or for another without first securing a license from the 

 dairy and food commissioners of this State, authorizing such 

 person to so operate such tester. Any person desiring to secure 

 such license shall make application therefor on a blank to be 

 prepared and provided by the dairy and food commissioner, and 

 such applicant, before being issued such license, shall pass a sat- 

 isfactory examination in person and prove by actual demon- 

 stration that he is competent and qualified to properly use such 

 tester and make an accurate test with the same. 



Such license shall be issued for a period of two (2) years
