WAY TO READ CREAM TESTS One Big Difficulty May Be Overcome by Adding Smail Quantity of Fat-Saturated Alcohol. In the Babcock tea-bottle the bot tom of the fat column is practically a straight line but the top has a con cave surface and the question as to whether the fat should be read at the top, the bottom, or some other point has been much discussed. This uncertainty may be entirely overcome by dropping a small quan Reading Cream Tests. tlty of alcohol Into the neck of the test bottle after the cream test is completed. The alcohol floats in the top and changes its concave surface to nearly a straight line. As the use of the alcohol dissolves the fat, there fore reduces the length of the col umn and gives too low a reading, this can be overcome by first adding to the alcohol all the fat lt will dissolve and then pouring a small quantity of this fat-saturated alcohol on the top of the fat column in the test botle. Th?1 diagrams In the figure show the difference. In bottle No. 1 It sho s the top curve of the fat which occupies a epace between A and B of nearly 1 per cent of the scale. The test should be read 19 or 20, depend ing on the selection of A or B as the point to which it is read. In bottle No. 2 the alcohol makes a straight line at the top of the fat column, so that the test can be reaa at that point without any uncertainty.

Watch the milch cows carefully, and see that they keep up their milk flow. The value of milk for cheese mak ing Fhould be based upon the contents of both fat and casein. Despite every effort, there 13 always more or less complaint of shrinkage of milk in the dry, hot months. The example of a successful dairy man neighbor doesn't seem to have any impression on some farmers. The woman who makes good butter and clean butter and puts it up attrac tively does not have to cut prices. The man who gets his principal in come from the dairy should breed his cows to registered dairy-bred sires. Scours in young calves can be checked by feeding a teaspoonful of dried blood for each calf in two quarts of warm milk. The average production of butter fat per year per cow is said to be be tween 140 and 150 pounds. This is far too little to be profitable.
