goes out in lumps a fair sample is not obtained, so I have told 

 my patrons when they bring frozen milk they do not get a fair 

 test, and I have trouble in making them believe it. 



Mr. Johnson: Tell them that they are losing money and 

 they will understand it better. 



Prof. Farrington : I should think it would be a great deal 

 better if you could convince the patrons that they should not 

 allow the milk to freeze and bring it from the farms to the 

 factory covered up. 



Mr. Judd: I think he is wrong in saying that the richest 

 part of the milk freezes; I think it is the water in the milk 

 that freezes. 



Mr. Monrad: There will always be more frozen on top 

 of the can, and that is where the cream is. 



The Chairman: That is true without doubt, but, on the 

 other hand, isn't it a fact that when it is freezing on top it is 

 also freezing through the can? — all around the outside of the 

 can it is freezing, forcing the fat to the center, and the frozen 

 milk that is on the wall of the can won't have as much fat in it 

 as average milk. 



Mr. Blount: I was unfortunate in not hearing quite all 

 of that paper on testing, but those who have to do with testing 

 milk when it is kept in a sample bottle will find that it is bet- 

 ter to dip the bottle into hot water before you put it in the 

 cream, then the cream will not adhere to the sides and you 

 will get a better sample. 



Mr. Mann : I notice that in frozen milk where the can is 

 full, the cream will adhere to the cover and also around the 

 neck of the can, and that will be pure cream. Of course a 

 sample from that milk will be a loss to the patron. But if you 

 speak to a patron about this, while he sees this cream frozen 

 and we tell him that he is the loser, he will not put much 

 thought on this subject until it comes to the last of the month 

 and then he blames the factory man. I believe if they would 

 look out for frozen milk and also about the every-other-day 

 milk and the separation of the cream in that and avoid both 

 of them, I think they would get better results and would also 

 understand that it is not the fault of the factory man. I do 

 not believe that every-other-day milk will make quite as good 

 results as daily milk. How is that. Professor?
