; Statement of results. 
1. The amount of fat in a cheese tends to increase, but not 
uniformly, when the amount of fat in the milk increases. 
An examination of the above table shows that in the first, 
second, third, fifth, seventh and eighth experiments the above 
statement holds good. } 
If we take the amount of fat in the first milk as one, and the 
amount of fat in 100 pounds of the first cheese as one, and arrange 
the succeeding numbers on this basis, we can trace the general 
relation between the increase of fat in the milk and the increase 
of fat in the cheese.

Calling the amount of fat in 100 pounds of milk one, the amount 
of fat in the second is 1.28 times that in the first; the fat in the 
_ third is 1.65 times that in the first, etc. Calling the amount of fat 
in 100 pounds of cheese one, in the first experiment, the amount 
of fat in the second is 1.29 times that in the first; the amount of 
_ fat in 100 pounds of the third cheese is 1.45 times that in the first, 
etc. Ifthe increase of fat in the cheese were uniform with the 
increase of fat in the milk, the two sets of numbers would be the
