The following points connected with
the work IT Prof. Harrington, who has
charge of the chemical work at the
worlds fasr milk test, are made by
Mr.. Monrad OF Chicago in a recent is
sue of The Creamery Journal:
And right here allow me 10 assert
that Prof. Harrington hIs demonstrated
two facts ab9ut the Babcock test Of
sufficient importance to pay for the
whole of this work. One is not new
and has been demons Grated before
Cyet it is very Important to have it
emphaSizedl amt that is the danger in
mot running the tester at a sufficiently
high rate of speed. and know what we
r doing, hence we must Use testers
With cog gearing and avysd friction
and belts, as they are Liable t % slip
giving less speed and tliHs show a
lower reading.

The other fact developed by Prof.
Harrington is new "a me, and with his

This according to Prof. Harrington, is
nOt so, but is due "a the way ia which
the acid is run iutD the milk. II il is
