For cow-testing II Is necessary to
weigh and test the nights and

each month. This is the plan fol-
lowed by most cow-testing associa-
tons, and 1t Is also suitable for
farmers who do their own testing.
In addition to the Babcock test out
fit, a milk scale is needed. After
buying the milk scale and using It
a few times, many find it 80 little
work that they prefer to weigh the
milk every day, although the test
ing is done only one day In each
month. The daily weighing of milk
