Students Test Milk
The students in the classes of Vo-
catiOnal Agriculture are testing milk
by the regular BabcOck test, in or
der to become efficient in the work
and to gain knowledge Of the re-
quirements and grade of milk. In
running the BabcOck test on each
cow or herd to find out the per cent
,butterfat produced The ration OF
the herd is balanced and fed in di-
rect proportion to the butterfat con-
tent. This method computes the
number of pounds of milk produced
in one day and. the percentage Of but
terfat in the milk, then the protein
contest OF the feed is adjusted to
meet the individual requirements Of
each COW. Several of the students
plan to adjust the ratiOns of cows
whose milk they are testing and one
student is planning to work with the
entire herd of his father. The Bah
cock test for butterfat is a very ac-
curate test work, on the principal of
specific gravity and centrifugal force.
The test is always kept at one temp !
erature so as to secure an accurate
reading of butterfat.
