the work Of the separator. 1t
reveals the loss of fat in whey and but
termilk, and it puts check on dishon-
esty by having milk and cream sold
on the value of their fat content. No
dairyman should feel his equipment
complete without one. 1t is simple.
quick and cheap. A four bottle Bah
cock tester, complete, can be had for
S. or Sc.
Milk testing is not complicated or
tedious thing to do. careful boy or
girl fourteen or fifteen years old can
soon learn to make correct tests.
There is no better way Of getting the
children interested in the cows.
The Babcock test is a simple, quick,
cheap and reliable test for determining
the percentage Of fat in milk, cream.
etc.
General Rules For Making the Test.
All the glassware must be perfectly
clean. Wash it in strong solution of
soda and rinse it we'll afterward.
Have a representative sample of the
milk or cream to be tested. 1t must be
from the entire milk. well mixed Sam
pies of cream. skimmilk, butterm1lk
and whey must be taken from the bulk
after being we'll stirred from the bot
tom to the top. At the time of making
the test the sample should be poured
from one vessel to another, so as to
obtain a thorough and even mixture.
1t should be at temperature of be-
tween 60 and 20 degrees.
A 17.6 cubic centimeter pipette
is used to take the measure of milk re-

The bottles should be placed on
convenient shelf in the milk room sep
arated from the stable. Hanging near
should be a pair Of spring scales set to
record the net weight Of milk. The
milk pals should be all the same
weight.
On a board by the shelf should be
tackled a record sheet to mark the
pounds of milk at each milking.
To keep the milk from curdling in
the test bottles a preservative is nee
essary. The one commonly used is
seven parts bichromate Of potash to
one part of corrosive subEmate, but
three parts Of the former to one Of the
latter give better results. This is poi
sonous, but as it turns the milk de-
cided yellow no one is apt to drink 1t.
Put about as much of this powder as
can be lifted ON a ten cent piece into
each bottle. This amount Of preserva-
tive will keep the sample good from
two to four weeks, according to the
heat Of the weather. II very warm
use more. Avoid too much, as it spoils
the test, giving burnt readings. Pre-
sentative tablets may be procured and
are more convenient.
The sample is taken night and morn
ing by means Of long handled one

ounce dipper, and precaution must be
taken to pour the milk SO measured
into the proper bottle.
When the test is only made fort
nightly or monthly, the samples must
be taken for two or three days. as the
fat content may vary.
To prepare composite samples for
testing set the bottles in water at ITO
degrees to melt any cream on the sides
Of the bottles. Mix well by pouring
from one vessel to another. Take the
samples as usual, but cool to about 60
degrees before adding the acid. Use
slightly less acid than for ordinary
testing.
To Find the Pounds Of Fat.
To find the pounds Of fat produced
during the period the test has covered
multiply the test by the pounds Of milk
given and divide by 100.
To find the proximate number Of
pounds of butter divide the total
pounds of fat by six and add the result
to the pounds Of fat, and it will equal
the pounds of butter.

The lactometer is an instrument to
determine the specific gravity of milk.
The term specific gravity means the
weight of solid or liquid compared
with an equal volume of water at 1872
degrees F. Average whole milk has a
specific gravity of 1882. which indi-
Gates that milk is .O32 heavier than
water.
