RUNNING THE BABCOCK STIFF.
(to the editor.) Sir, —Horses are no,t alonatin running “ s(*ff,” because to judge by the public - reports there is a good deal of “ in and out ” work with the Babcock ‘tester just now. At a public meeting at Albert Road, near Inglewood, by 14 to 1, a resolution was carried asking an explanation why’ milk tested at the factory should register 3 - 2 aud the same milk elsewhere-tested showed 3 0 and 3-7* Again, Mr Cowern, J.P., Eltham, writes that while his milk registered B*2, -he kept Saturday night’s milk aud churned it, he had one pound of butter out of every 23 pounds of milk, or 4 - 8, showing clearly that Mr Cowern was getting very much the worst of it. Now, if any one is aggrieved, let him take 124 pounds of milk home and churn it, then weigh the butter, and he is therefore in a position to know exactly what his milk is worth.—l am, &c.. W. R. Wright.
