 formula for modification is 100 grams of buffalo milk, 18 grams 

 of sugar, and enough boiled or distilled water to make 300 grams. 

 This makes the percentages of fat, proteins, sugar, and ash about 

 right for infants, as when thus modified the milk compares well 

 with human milk. For children of 3 years or more the milk is 

 usually simply thinned by adding an equal amount of water.

 tive cattle are grazed on the public grave and hill land during 

 the daytime. Green grass is cut daily for the European cows, 

 which are kept stabled all day. Most of the grass is cut from
