CREAM TESTS.
SubjCv, Butter
of tlisoussion from
maker's View Point.
Editor Courier:—With yoAr permis
Bion I would like to otter a few com
ments, or rather a few words of criti
cism on an article printed in the
Courier Sept, 22, entitled "Unsatisfac
tory Cream Tests."
In the first place there are but two
methods known to modern science
whereby we may ascertain the amount
of butter fat in ctB&m or milk.
Thesa are the Babcock test and
chemical analysis.
The latter is so expensive and also
slow that it is impracticable, besides
being unnecessary. As chemists, both
in and out of the creamery business,
have demonstrated that the Babcock
test is as accurate as the chemical
analysis.
In the second place no creamery
operator will claim to pay for the
amount of butter that a patron's
cream will make, but we do claim to
pay for every pound of butter fat.
it would be impossible to make an
estimate of the butter which given
amount of butter fat would make, and
even if we were disposed to try, the
law does not permit, as a competent
buttftrmaker can make as low as one
hundred and eight or as high as one
hundred and thirty pounds of butter
from one hundred pounds of butter fat.
As you well know, If you stop to
think, that the composition of butter
is about as follows: 80 to 86 per cent
flit, 1% to 4 per cent casein, 1% to
8 per cent salt and 5 to 1,6 per cent
water. Hence the utter impossibility,
of trying to make a butter* test
vs.
Our Underwear Departftterit comes in for its full
share of patronage these chilly days, for there's an hon­
est argument to each garment—prices are lower than
elsewhere and assortments more varied and extensive
than in any store in this section of the .state.

plain our methods, we can convince
the most skeptical that they are
correct. H. A, Sherk.
