now TO TAKE MILK SAMPLES.
Some Hints TO Dairymen about Salts
factory Tests.

Some Hints TO Dairymen about Salts
factory Tests.
In the interest OF Vermont dairy
men attention should be called again
to the necessity of proper precautions
in taking milk or cream samples for
analysis. 1t is a common thing for
Vermont creamery patrons, dissatis-
fled with the test of the milk they de-
liver, to send sample to the Expert
ment Station in order to compare its
results with those given out by the
creamery. The idea is good one.
but its execution is often faulty. Few
people realize how easy it is to take
an incorrect milk sample. There is
good reason, moreover, to believe that
more than one-half OF the many
hundreds of milk samples sent by
farmers every year to the station are
improperly taken and that the results
OF the tests are misleading. The
Station can do no more than test
what is sent. BY no art OF legerde-
main can il arrive at a correct test
from an incorrect sample. No doubt
many creamery Arrangements have
been unjustly accused OF carelessness,
ineompetency or worse by patrons
who have based their judgment up
on the Experiment Station tests, when
as matter of fact, the trouble lay in
the faulty samples furnished to the
Station by the eomplainants.
While mistakes are readily made in
this matter, it 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 cream
cry sample or duplicating it, When
the creamery composite sample is COM
plete and ready for testing the opera
tor may be asked to furnish one-half
of il. The patron should then be
certain that the operator thoroughly
mixes the sample by pouring; 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
after the last pouring.
In lieu Of this the operator may be re-
CURED every time he samples at the
factory 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
patron; both of which should test
loosely alike.
10 samples be sent TO the Expert
nent Station, Burlington, VT, for its
Tree analysis, they should be carefully /
AIKEN. Wide-mouthed jars should be
lsed, which should be filed absolute
y full to prevent churning in transit.
Express charges should be prepaid,
