Buying Milk on Babcock Test Basis 
Our cheese factory has decided to pay 
patrons on the basis of the Babcock 
test. Would you suggest the best and 
most accurate way to secure the vat or 
ayerage test as a basis to start with? 
The factory is operated co-operatively. 
New York. A. c. M. 
When milk is bought on the fat basis 
the most common practice is also to buy 
on the weight basis. This involves the 
use of a weigh can and scales at the re¬ 
ceiving room. When milk is thus re¬ 
ceived a sample for testing is easily ob¬ 
tained from the weigh can after the milk 
has been dumped into it. The weighed 
and sampled milk is then allowed to flow 
into receiving vats or directly into the 
cheese vat. A small one-ounce dipper 
will give enough milk from each delivery 
to build up a composite sample. A com¬ 
posite sample is a mixture of daily sam¬ 
ples covering a period of two weeks. This 
composite, is preserved against souring 
by the use of a preservative, such as bi¬ 
chloride of mercury, which can be pur¬ 
chased in tablet form at any dairy supply 
house or drug store. One tablet to a sam¬ 
ple is sufficient. 
These composite samples are kept in 
a tightly-stoppered bottle and each bot¬ 
tle is numbered permanently to corre¬ 
spond to the patrons’ number in the 
creamery book. This number can best be 
put on with white paint and then shel¬ 
lacked. These samples are shaken daily 
and tested in the usual Babcock method 
at the end of two weeks. It ie» known 
that such a test will represent a true 
average of the fat contained in the milk 
delivered over such a period of time. The 
secret of milk sampling lies in securing 
a properly mixed batch of milk in the 
first place. This is best done by pouring 
from one container to another, hence the 
reason stated above for taking the sam¬ 
ple directly from the weigh can aft.er the 
milk has been dumped. 
In case dumping of the milk is impos¬ 
sible, stirring with an agitator of some 
kind is next best. This at times is the 
ca^e when the milk is received in cans. 
To secure a representative sample from 
cans each can must be thoroughly mixed 
and a portion removed for sample as 
given above. When many cans have 
been received from a farmer a small dip¬ 
perful of milk from each can may be 
taken into a container and then the mix¬ 
ture sampled finally into a composite 
sain pie bottle ae above. 
It is important to bear in mind that 
a single day test will not be representa¬ 
tive of a quantity of milk produced over 
a period of time. Herd tests may vary 
from day to day. The test of an in¬ 
dividual cow many vary from day to day. 
It becomes necessary, therefore, to take 
samples daily, and by making composite 
samples from these daily samples con¬ 
siderable labor will be saved, as but one 
test in two weeks is required, j. w. b.
