To the dairy cow: our slave, our friend, our foster mother. Thank God for the dairy...
Farmers are paid for milk according to its butterfat content. Dairies use a complicated test in which they spike a milk sample with sulphuric acid and then centrifuge the solution three times. The acid and the heat induced by its action break down the heavy non-fat molecules. By centrifuging, the fat globules are forced to the top where they can be measured...
...chief of the clinical laboratory at Halloran Veterans Administration Hospital in New York City, told a Milk Industry Foundation convention in Atlantic City about a new and simpler process. Dr. Schain uses a specially prepared solution, containing two detergents. He claims that the detergents quickly dissolve all but the butterfat, which then floats to the top.

What's more, says Dr. Schain, the farmer's wife...

Meanwhile, the Owenses and two Boston researchers, Dr. V. Everett Kinsey and Dr. Leona Zacharias, had worked out a theory. Premature babies cannot digest fats and so do not get a natural supply of the vitamins (A, D, K and E) found in butterfat. To make up for this, some hospitals give them the vitamins, especially A, in water. Hospitals which use this treatment, the Bostonians reported, have a higher R.L.F. rate than others...
