Two reasons ar. directly or indirectly

I. The composition % the cream !.

2. Iys.s fat l. left In the skinned

No experimentsl evidence !. at hand

accordauce With fact or not. The only
possible rvason that can - offered, how
ever, why submsrzing sf'ccts the con-
.ls,ency of cream, j. that II prevents
evaporation aud consequent thlckening
of the surface 10 the crvam. Hut when
the cans ar, ins closed cabinet, the ali
over the water must b. so saturated Win
moisture as TO preclude evaporation fr"m
the cream, even II the cans are no, sub
mery,d. Hut this point " scarcely
worth arguing. for other unsyoldsbl.

this In effect.
The .econI claim Il the more impot-
t.nt, and conccrulng ~hich certain

A.we stated In Balletl- No. jus, L.

the Farmer, q representative oi the ia

four farms, supply Ink milk tot~o cream.
sries. ard took samples of the SKINNED
milk. Among other data he noted the
manner OF setting the milk, whether ice

submerged or not, and II not, the depth

In making up the averages presented
herewith, Il should be stated that the
fret twenty-five farms are eNrluded, as
no record Was made Of the depth OF the
water. Their, are also excluded fe~
cases wher,top-sklmmlus Was prseticed,
because uniform conditions should pre-
vail Ia such a comparison. Again, the
cases where no ice was used, or other
uufayorahle circumstances existed, are
not included. With these exceptions,
the fgur,- obtained are as follows;

III. noticeable In looking over the
record. mentioned In the foregoing, that
a greater percentage Of Jersey and Jer-
s.y grades were found among the
p.tron. of the Turner factory than
.morg tho.s Of the Poland factory, ths
latter owning a Somewhat larger pro-
portion Of shorthorn aud holstsii
grades. For thi. reason II is possibly
more just "a compare results among the
patrons of the same factory, especially
