Book excerpt: Excerpt from Experiments in Pig Feeding It has already been proposed that a test of what is called a com posite sample of the milk is sufficiently accurate and requires much less work and expense than a test of the milk brought by each patron daily. This composite sample can be obtained by putting into a quart glass fruit jar, which is a convenient receptacle for this purpose, a small quantity of the milk brought by the patron each day. At the end of the week the jar contains a mixture of the milk brought during the seven days, and a test of this mixture (composite sample) is to take the place of the daily test. From the record of the pounds of milk brought by each patron during the week and the test of his composite sample for the week a sim ple calculation shows the pounds of butter fat supplied to the creamery by each patron, and for that he is paid. The accuracy of one test by the composite sample, as a substitute for seven or more separate tests of the samples, depends, when made as de tailed in the following pages, on the uniformity in quantity and quality of the milk from which the composite sample is made up; but, as will be seen, the method is sufficiently accurate for all practical purposes at a creamery.
