mix the milk and acid, this is done
by holding the bottle by the neck and
giving it a rotary motion. When the
mixture is complete, the tests are
ready for the centrifugal machine;
place bottles in the machine so that

The Over|and's
Match|ess Simplicity

Texas this year takes 800 Oyerlands Kansas
takes 1000. Iowa 1,C00 Nebraska $50. Three
towns in Kansas - Wichita, Great Bend and
Salina each take 200 cars
The car is but two years old. In most of these
sections it has been known but one year. Yet
this years orders for Overands call for $24 0O0,-
600 worth of cars.
This unexampled success is largely due to
simplicity. The operation is by pedal control
"a method as simple as walking. Any novice
can run it the first time he tries. And the car
almost cares for itself.

1926 Cars Per Day

The four Overland factories, employing 1000
men, turn out 1875 Overlands daily. One Over
land factory-formerly the Pope.Toledo plant

That is why Overands give more for the
money than any other car in existence. That
is why these cars outsell all others. The man

Questions and Hn$Wer$
HOW TO OPERATE THE BABCOCK
TEST

Will you kindly send me explicit di-
rections as to running a Babcock test.

does not seem to give enough detail.
King county. II. ID. 5.
Ans.-The first essential in making
an accurate test of milk by the Bah
cock method is to secure an accurate
sample. If you wish to determine the
fat content Of the milk OF individual
cows, | would recommend that you Sc
cure sample jars (pint fruit Jars will
do one for each COW in your herd.
You will also need a sample dipper,
one that will hold about two OF. of
milk For four consecutive milkings
about the middle Of each month L
would take a sample dipper full OF
milk from the total amount given by
each COW and place it in the JAR bear
ing he1 name or number. You will
then have composite sample of milk OF
each individual COW in your herd that
would be fairly representative of the
milk produced, providing you have
your milk thoroughly mixed when TAX
ing the samples. To insure this after
you have finished milking each COW,
pour the milk from one bucket to an-
other two or three times and immedi
ately take the sample. 1t will be nee
essary to use some kind of preserva-
tive in the sample bottles to keep the
milk sweet until you are ready to
test it. Corrosive sublimate tablets
may be secured from any dairy sup
ply house and one-half tablet placed
in each jar before taking the samples
will be sufficient. When you have all
of your samples the actual testing pro-
cess is next in order. Have an extra
jar the size of those containing your
samples. Before taking the sample
fol testing, pour the milk from one
jar to another at least four times to
insure an even distribution of the
butterfat, Immediately insert your
pipette into the milk and fill it to the
l7.6 C. C. mark, empty this into the
bottle numbered for the sample which
is being tested, and then measure out
in the acid cylinder 17.5 C. C. of sui

they must then be taken out one at
