be about the same temperature as the
milk. The acid measure is filled to
the graduation mark, 17.5 cubic cent?
meters, and the acid added carefully
to the test bottle containing the meas
ured sample of milk, with the bottle
held at an angle. The acid, being
heavier than the milk, goes to the bot
tom at once, forming clear layer
which turns to chocolate color at the
junction of the acid and the milk, ow
ing to the charming of the milk sugar.
The test bottle then is shaken with
rotary motion, the mouth held away
from the body, until the whole mass is
a uniform dark-brown or chocolate
color.
