Dissolve from bottles to CU pound of butter. (Title said it takes 10+ qts. of whole milk to make 1 lb. butter. ) Inside creamery, workers moving around containers of milk. MS workers taking samples by poking sticks into the containers. MCU woman scientist in laboratory sits at table performing a test using a narrow tube which broadens to a bulb shape at bottom; on the table are a tray of samples in small bottles an a tray of more glass tubes. CU looking over her shoulder at the experiment; she seems to be dropping milk into the top of the tube. MCU the scientist looks at the rows of tubes in a box of boiling liquid. She pulls one tube out; the stuff inside the tube is now a dark color, with some stuff settled in the bulb at the bottom, with a space between that and more dark stuff in the top part of the tube.
