Why Cream Tests Vary

Much confusion, dissatisfac-
ton and arguments arises over
this question. As a matter of
fact, the test of the cream or
milk is not the all important
item. For instance, 5000 pounds
OF $50 milk equals $50 pounds of
butter fat; likewise 5000 pounds
of $50 milk equals $50 pounds of
butter fat. The big question is.
how much butter fat have you7
1t is true that tests do vary and
that you cannot always expect
the same test of either cream or
milk. If l should deliver cream
every day to a certain party and
receive practically the same test
each day, there certainly would
be something wrong. On the
other hand, if there should be a
sudden jump one way or the
other in the test, there would be
something wrong. The testing is
only one of a number of causes
for the change, and before cuss-
ing the tester and flying off the
handle / would rather ask the

DRY FIGHT WILL Be ON
IN PHILIPPINE ISLES

FORTUNES IN FURS ARE

furs were brought out Of the Far North
this summer by the few trading schoon-

tic ocean ice and worked their way
along the northern rim of the CONT

and back again.
More than $500 furs were stored on
Banks Land alone, awaiting the boats,
according to reports brought here. For
two years the Ice has prevented boats
from reaching the spot, and as q result
the trappers on the island have been
bling up what Nome men said was the
greatest cargo ever brought around
into Boring sea.
