a. pains the seasons of 1892 and 1893, the amount. of fat in : 
100 pounds of green cheese varied from 30 to 36.79 pounds 
and averaged 33.83 pounds. It will be noticed that at Mr. ai ae 
factory there was greater uniformity than in other cases. __ 
: b. The variation of monthly averages was not great. The. 
BS variation was due in part to variation in the amount of water 
retained in the cheese and in part to the effect of the drought 
_ during July and August, 1893. We shall later discuss the 
question as to whether it is desirable to fix the legal limit to the 
amount of water that cheese may contain. |
