In one or two cases the plates showed almost pure cultures of acid organ- isms. This emphasizes the necessity of sterile utensils, a point discussed in the last report. It a.l.w emphasizes great necessity of rapidly and ‘the properly cooling the milk. There are a ni of ways of cooling milk. At any rate, get the milk cooled below 50 F quickly and hold it there until it is delivered. The scoring was done at a time when there was a great variation in the flavor of the different samples and it is interesting to 'note this. Some samples came from cows on pasture and some from those féd under winter conditions. The butter was allowed to stand at room temperature for three ‘hours and the condition was found to be as in- dicated in the table. It can be seen that the moisture still runs low ex- cept in the first three samples. Two out of these three have sent butter to the scorings regularly while only one of the last five have done this. It interesting to. note that cottonseed meal was in the ration of both of the samples that were very nnn after thm hours at room temperas ‘The next scoring will be hem some time in August.
