Like most milk, buffalo milk has little or no odor. The strong 

 odor often found associated with it is due to foreign substances, 

 such as hair or flakes of dead skin, that fall into the milk when 

 proper sanitary precautions are not used in milking. When 

 such foreign substances get into the milk, the bacteria that they 

 introduce multiply very rapidly and produce gases with un- 

 pleasant odors. 



In the College dairy both European and buffalo cows are kept. 

 Buffalo milk is much preferred, because of its richness, by 

 both foreigners (American and European) and Chinese. In
