TEST TELLS HOW MUCH ACID

tai~sd-3impis and Essiiy Made.

Certain substances when placed In
an alkaline solution have sns color.
but when put In an acid change their
color or lose it entirely. That b the
basis OF an important discovery made
recently by u. s. Burch. Kansas dairy
commissioner, whereby cream may he
tested for its qualities to make good
butter. This test gives erealnerynen
way to grade cream 80 that a higher
price may be paid for the better grade.
Heretofore cream was not tested for
quality, only for the quantity Of but
ter fat 1t contained. which was de-
termined by the Babcock test says the
Kansas lndustrialist.
1t has been found that cream which
contains too much acid-more than five
tenths per cent-will not make good
butter. All that was needed. then,
was a test that would prove that bad
cream contained too much acid. This
Mr. Burch's test will show.
An alkaline solution made red with
the indicator mentioned and two little
dippers about the size Of a thimble,
placed on the end Of a steel wire, are
all the instruments need. These dip.
pers are made 80 that one holds a
proportionate amount Of cream to the
amount Of red alkaline mixture held
by the other. A dipper Of, cream and
a dipper Of the solution are poured
together. II this mixture turns white
the cream Is Of inferior quality. II
the pink mixture retains its color Less
than per cent Of acid is present, and
the cream IL first grade.
Creameries where the test IL used
are paying a difference Of 2 cents a
pound on flrst and second grade cream.
which means that the test will be an
incentive to farmers to Use the most
sanitary methods with theft cream so
that It will bring the highest market
price.
The quality test first put into use in
Jannary, now Is used successfully in
sixteen stations in Kansas. It can be
done accurately In less tLan a minute.
