Nos. 2, 3 and 4, milk from cows kept for private con- sumption. Nos. 1, 4, 6 and 7 were shortliorns. No. 3 a Brittany. Nos. 2 and 8 half-bred Alderneys. Nos. 1, 6, 7 and 8. These cows were stall-fed, and had at times sewage-grass given. The comparative poor- ness of the milk is no doubt due to the cows being vmduly forced with grain. I am quite sm-e that the specific gravity of No. 1 milk was correctly observed, although the total sohds are ab- normally less. Goppelsroder,* in his paper, gives the following four instances of milk beheved to be un- sophisticated, where the percentage of total sohds was less than 12 with a high specific gravity, and the specific gravity had been taken prior to the milk being skimmed:— Specific gravity Solids.
