cHURN NUMBERS ARE USEFUL
Makes It Simple Matter to Separate
Different Cummings and Sell Ac-
cording to Score.

The use Of churn numbers, so that
the receivers of butter can more
readily sort u separate %churnings, is
urged upon creamery men by food
products inspectors Of the bureau of
markets, United States Department OF
Agriculture. In a lot of butter rec
emily examined by these inspectors
the score varied from SO to 90. AS
no churn numbers were shown, the
only way the receiver could separate
the butter was by examining every
tub. If the churn numbers had been
shown, it would have been a simple
matter to separate the various churn
ings and sell them according to score
It is not possible to take time to ex
anime every tub, SO the butter is solo
according to the samples taken and
at a discount if the samples vary
widely. If there should be just one
Door tub in the shipment and the
sampler happens upon it. the whole
shipment would suffer, while If churn
numbers are used only the tubs in
that churning would receive the lower
score.
