The analytical results given in the above table were, with 
the exception of the determination of curd, obtained by 
methods described later in this report. Curd was taken by 
difference, and of course is subject to all of the errors of 
the analysis. The figures are mostly-based upon single de- 
terminations, the quantity of butter received being in many 
cases too small for duplicate analyses. Otherwise some of 
the obvious errors would have been corrected.
