The proportion of cream in new milk may vary betw-'C'i one-tunth and one-fifth, so a fail average would be one-eighth or one- seventh. A pint of milk coi-tains forty staiidanl tabU spoonfuls, therefore after this quantity of milk has stood in a cool place for 24 hours, it should produce live tablespoon fuls of cream, .\notlier nioih (id is to take a glass jar or tumbler with flat bottom and straight sides, pour in whatever quantity of milk you wish and mcasurn the huiuht of this on the outside of the i{lass, being sure that the glass stands perfectly level. Stand th« glass away in a cool place for twenty-four hours and then measure the thickness of the cream, which should be at least one- eighth of the first incasurem-nt. For ex- ample sup(K)se the height of milk is four inches, then the thickness of the cream should be about one-half inch. â€" Cum.
