The fats in milk are in a solid state, and are the only solid matter usually found in milk ; they exist in the form of very minute globular atoms and are known as butter globules. These butter globules^or as they are by some called the milk globules, are sus- pended in the liquid mass and float about in it freely, whitening every part with their presence. They ordi- narily appear round, or egg-shaped in form, but in size they are very unequal, varying from tAtt down to tijVtt of an inch in diameter. When viewed under a microscope with a magnifying power of 300 diameters, newly drawn milk has the appearance represented in the annexed figure. Upon the structure and treatment of these infinites- simal bodies, depend the dairyman's success in butter- making, and it is therefore important that he should be as familiar with them as possible. A clear knowl- edge of a few leading facts in regard to them will be found more efficient in leading to desired results, than the haphazard labors and blind imitations of rules made by parties ignorant of the structure and pro-.
