To Clarify-MeIt fat, add raw pota.

collects some of the sediments. The

BABCOCK TEST
A MONEY SAVER

BY PROF. ]. L. SAMMIS
q A.-IL---

Before the Babcock test was invent
ed, Il years ago, no simple, accurate
method by which the farmer could
measure the richness of the milk or
cream which he sold, or of the skim
milk which remained. At creameries
and cheese factories each patron was
paid in proportion to the weight of
milk delivered. 1t was then common
ly supposed that 100 pounds of milk
from one COW would make as much
butter or cheese as an equal weight OF
milk from any other COW. Cows
were valued according to the number
of pounds Of milk each produced.
1t is now well known that the weight
of butter or cheese that can be OBJ
tanned from given quantity Of milk
depends to a great extent upon the
weight of fat present in the milk. For
this reason milk and cream are now
both weighed and tested for fat by
the Babcock test at most factories,
and patrons are paid according to the
test, that is, according to the weight
Of fat delivered by each.
The relative value of different COWS
in a herd is now determined by weigh
ing and testing the milk Of each.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1911-10-19

Many COWS produce a profit of from
SIS to $50 per year, but in almost eV-
cry herd COWS are found whose milk
does ont pay for the feed consumed
by them. By Replacing the poorest
COWS with better ones the herd will
be improved.
In separator skim milk there is only
about one-eighth as much fat IS there
is in milk SKINNED from crooks or
shallow pans, but even separator skim
milk should be tested for fat frequent
~ to see If the separator is skimming
as closely as it should. Ordinarily
separator skim milk tests about five
hundredths (05) of one per cent, but
if, by running the separator too slow
ly or separating milk when too cold or
for other reasons, the skim milk
should contain Is per cent or more Of
fat, the loss may about to 81 or 81 per
COW per year. This amount of money
will more than pay for the entire ex-
pense Of installing and operating q
Babcock test. Although the fat in the

skim milk is not wasted when fed to
pigs or calves, yet it is much more
profitable to sell butter fat as cream
or butter than it is to make veal or
pork out of it.
The three important uses for the
Babcock test on the farm are: First,
COW testing, regularly done, in order
to improve the herd; second, frequent
testing milk and cream before it is
sold, to determine if the testing done
at the factory is correct; third, occa-
sional testing of skim milk, to see
that no butter fat is being wasted
The Babcock test is saving many
times its cost annually on many dairy
farms, and at the same time is ena-
bling farmers to select their best cows
and to improve their herds more rap
idly than can be done by any other
means. There should be a Babceck
tester regularly used, on every dairy
farm, and in every rural school in the
state.

Il may not have any right: but
am doing it just the same. I know

know that it is robbing the people
And for that reason 1 want to know
how deeply you are interested in it"
Go back to Gormly and find out!'

nunciation.

from you before I leave this room.
