Wash It In a strong solution of soda and rinse it well afterward. Have a representative sample of the milk or cream to be tested. It must be from the entire milk, well mixed. Sam ples of cream, skimmilk, buttermilk ami wliey must be taken from the bulk after being well stirred from the bot tom to the top. At the time o f making the test the sample should be poured from one vessel to another, so as to obtain a thorough and even mixture, it should be at a temperature o f be tween 60 and 70 degrees. A 17.0 cubic centimeter pipette Is used to take the measure o f milk re quired. Insert the small end in the milk and the other end In the mouth, draw up the air and the milk rises In the tube. When the pipette Is filled with milk, quickly place the Index fin ger o f the right hand over the top of the pipette. Hold the pipette on a level with the eye and slowly allow a little air to get In by slightly easing the pressure o f the finger. The milk will run out In proportion to the air ad mitted. When the milk exactly reach es the line Indicating the proper amount for a test quickly press down the finger. eight tenths pounds o f fat per 100 pounds o f milk or la said to have 3.8 per cent fat. T e stin g Cream . Cream lest bottles are graduated to read as high as 30. 40 or 50 per cent fat and are made with a large neck. i Use nn eighteen cubic centimeter pi pette for measuring the cream. Rinse the pipette with a little water to get out the full complement of creuin. Aft er mixing the cream and acid add the hot water before whirling and whirl for five minutes. Place the bottles In hot water before reading. Each division o f the scale reads one- half or 1 per cent, according to the marking. The proper amount of cream or milk, etc., for a test is eighteen grama. Owing to the small percentage o f fat in skimmilk, buttermilk and whey, to get accurate tests double necked test j bottles should be used. The amount Is taken in a 17.6 cubic centimeter pipette and tested In the usual way. The milk has to be deliv ered slowly Into the larger neck or It bubbles out. The scale on the neck reads to "ne-hundredth o f 1 per cent. | One large division reads flve-buu- | dredths or .05 per cent fat. It is not always convenient nor Is It necessary to test daily when a yearly record Is being kept o f a herd or when milk or cream Is delivered at a factory. We will suppose a herd test Is to be kept. There should be a pint bottle with a long tight fitting cork for each cow. The cow ’s name or number should be plainly written ou a label which Is gummed well on the bottle, then given two coats of shellac so as not to have the label wash off. The bottles should be placed on a convenient shelf In the milk room sep arated from the stable. Hanging near should be u pair of spring scales set to record the net weight of milk. The milk pails should be all the same weight. On a board by the shelf should be tacked a record sheet to mark the pounds o f milk at each milking. To keep the milk from curdling In the test bottles a preservative is nec essary. The one commonly used Is seven parts bichromate of potash to one part o f corrosive sublimate, but three parts o f the former to one of the latter give better results. This Is poi sonous, but ns It turns the milk a de cided yellow no one is apt to drink It. Rut about as much of this powder ns can be lifted on a ten cent piece Into each bottle. This amount o f preserva tive will keep the sample good from two to four weeks, according to the heat of the weather. If very warm use more. Avoid too much, ns it spoils the test, giving burnt readings. Pre servative tablets may be procured and are more convenient. The sample is taken night and morn ing by means o f a long handled one E v e ry T e s t M ust Be A ccurate. A test is o f little or no value unless it Is in every way accurate.
