TESTS AT THE CREAMERY.
Buttermaker Names Some of the
Causes of Varying Tests.


Buttermaker Names Some of the
Causes of Varying Tests.
1'nece is, and there always will be,
more or less disappointment and com
plant possible from patrons about the
test of their milk at the creamery or
cheese factory. Sometimes there may
be abundant cause for complaint. for
buttermakers and .cneesemakers, even
with the best intentions, may some
times make mistakes, and we regret to
say that there may be buttermakers
a. cheesemakers who do not always
haN the best intentions.
But even under the most favorable
conditions tests will vary, and more
often than otherwise, perhaps, no sufti-
cient explanation can be given for this
variation. A Minnesota buttermaker.
Mr.. B. e. Scripture of the Pleasant
Valley creamery, writes to the Dairy
Record on this subject as follows:
''At the end Of each month we are
asked many times: What is the matter
with my test? 1t is several points
lower than last month.
'"They should ask themselves this
question:: What have l done to lower
my test?
Il will mention few of the things
that will make the test vary.
Sometimes the whole herd is excited
by some unusual noise, Cor possibly the
dog was sent after them at milking
time, or it may be they came in con-
tact with the hard side of the milking
stool. These things will lower your
test every time.
Treat your cows kindly and induce
them to come up at milking time of
their own free will. It is a good plan
to give them handful of feed each
time they come in the barn. They will
soon learn that You are their friend.
and they will pay you we'll for your
extra trouble.
sometimes we forget when we are in
a hurry that the last part of the milk
is the richest in butter fat. 1t also has
a tendency to dry your cows up when
not MIXED dry. Milk regularly, feed
and water as near the same time each
day as possible, keep your cows COM
Portable every day in the year. All
these things will increase the flow of
milk and have tendency to raise your
test.
Sometimes we haul milk to the fac
tory in large cans. and to prevent the
milk from stopping out cloth is used
between the cans and milk, and by
the time it reaches the factory the
cloth is saturated with cream.
During warm weather and when
the roads are rough the cans that are
not full are so badly churned when
they reach the factory it is impossible
to get fair sample of the milk. AL
ways fill your cans full In the win
ter some of us forget to cover our cans
and find when we reach the factory
that the cream is frozen into the bot
toms of the covers. We pour in the
remainder of the milk and then ask
the buttermaker, What makes my test
drop off so suddenly"
1.-THE last point that l will mention,
but not least, and possibly some of us
never thought about it, is part of the
year we may be milking cows that are
very poor testers, and the rest Of the
year the majority of them may be ex-
ira good COWS and still give good
flow of milk"
