The milk of Evelina for the same time contained 71.4 ounces of 
butter fat, and there were recovered in the butter 70.73 ounces or 
99 per cent. 
Edessa’s milk for June 23 contained 20.92 ounces of fat, and the 
butter from it contained 15.8 ounces or 79.Q1 per cent. 
No extended discussion of the above figures will be made at pres- 
ent, but they deserve the careful study of all who are interested in 
the development of the butter industry, as they show what may be 
done by the judicious selection of cows and the skillful management 
of milk. Such thorough separation of the butter as was obtained 
from the milk of both Hilda D and Evelina of Verna cannot. be ex- 
pected from all animals nor from any if the milk is handled in a 
careless manner. 
The test of Edessa, during the first 834 days of which the whole 
milk was churned and only the cream for the remainder of the time, 
shows in a marked way the advantage of separating the cream and 
churning it alone. 
In the first three days the whole milk produced 5.58 per cent. of 
butter, while afterward the cream alone gave 6.59 per cent. 
During the trial several determinations were made of the number 
and size of the fat globules of the milk from each cow. These are 
given.
