EDUCATIONAL BUTTER
SCORING FOR 1921
Marahfield Association and c. M. Lii
ley, Buttermaker, Win Brigham Cup
With Average Score Of o3.42.

The last Of nine educational but
ter scorings for the year 1927 was held
on December 10 in the dairy laboratory
at the State Agricultural college. This
series Of scorings was the most sue
cessful ever held in the state. Three
were held at the college and six at va.
rious creameries throughout the state.
This arrangement made it possible Tor
many to attend the scorings as well as
to enter samples. Fifty creameries
participated in the scorings during the
year and the average attendance was
forty five.
Another innovation was the scoring
of the butter on composition az well as
on quality. II Is desirable that cream
cries and buttermakers strive TO make
high quality butter but 1t il also i'm
portanf that they secure high legiti-
mate overrun and ii is necessary that
the butter manufactured shall comply
with the law az to composition. The
composition score gives some credit 70
the butterrnaker who secures just
overrnn even ii he is obliged to use
cream of questionable grade which at
best yields butter Of medium quality.
The scoring on composition was made
on the following basis:
Fat 80 per cent tS0-Sl per cent per-
fectl. Below so per cent score shall be
O.. deduct two per cent for each one
per cent above 81 per cent
Water IS per cent tl6-l6 per cent
perfecti. Over is per cent score shall
be o. Deduct two per cent for each one
per cent below 10 per cent.
Salt-l5 per cent 1878 per cent per
fect) Deduct two per cent for each one
per cent above three per cent or below
two per cent.
Curd-l0 per cent Tone per cent or
less perfect. Deduct five per cent for
each one per cent above one per cent. |
IAN entries allowed perfect score for
curd was not directly determined.l
The quality score counted two-thirds
and the composition score one-third to-
ward the final score. Contestants were |
ranked according to the average score
on their seven best entries.
