Abstract

Composite milk-samples for use at creameries, as a means of saving labor in the valuing of milk by any of the "oil tests,'' I first proposed (in detail) in Bulletin No. 9, of the Iowa Experiment Station, May 1890. The preserving agent there recommended for preserving the samples was corrosive sublimate, HgCl_2, numerous experiments having shown that it preserves the mechanical, as well as the chemical, condition of milk better than any other common antiseptic. For use in creameries I insisted that the sublimate have mixed with it some suitable aniline color, as a guard against accidental poisoning; and to hasten solution in the milk, admixture of common salt, NaCl, was recommended.
