In the interest of Vermont dairymen
attention should be called again to the
necessity of proper precautions in TAX
ing milk or cream samples for analysis.
1t is common thing for Vermont cream
cry patrons, dissatisfied with the test Of
the milk they deliver, to send a sample
to the experiment station in order to
compare its results with those given out
by the creamery. The idea is a good
one, but it's execution is often faulty.
1t is not difficult to take proper sample
if the directions here given be followed.
The samples at least will not be at fault.
Creamery testing may be best checked
either by halving the creamery sample or
duplicating it. When the creamery
composite sample is complete and ready
for testing the operator may be asked
to furnish one-half of it. The patron
should then be certain that the operator
thoroughly mixes the sample by pour
ing; that all the cream from the sides of
the jar, covers, ETC., is mixed into the
milk or cream, and that the halving is
done Immediately after the last pouring.
In lieu of this the operator may be re-
quired every time he samples at the fac
tory to furnish duplicate sample in a
jar controlled by the patron. In this
way duplicate composite samples may
be made, one held in the control of the
operator, the other in that Of the patron;
both of which should test closely alike.
If samples be sent to the experiment
station, Burlington, VT, for its free an
alysis, they should be carefully taken.
Wide mouthed jars should be used,
which should be filled absolutely full to
prevent churning in transit. Express
charges should be prepaid, and the name
of the party sending should be placed
upon the package.
