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

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

Despite every effort, there 13 always
more or less complaint of shrinkage

The example of a successful dairy
