1907.] TRIPOLI. 193 



said yields no more fruit than the mere discussion that has 

 followed it I shall feel amply repaid. I beheve, however, that 

 if we v\'ill study a little more closely the subtler properties of 

 miuk and cream we will find out some surprising facts. For 

 instance, if you produce a quality of milk, and without any- 

 special care take a clean fruit jar, which is glass, then keep 

 that malk at an ordinary temperature for two or three hours, 

 and then smell of it, the chances are that there will have been 

 some surprising developments and some that will be edu- 

 cational in their way. One gentleman asked what was meant 

 bv the term " good milk." That is too big a question for me 

 to attempt to discuss now, and I will simply say that good milk 

 is something like a good conscience, it is a matter of edu- 

 cation. One summer I was at a farmhouse where there were 

 some people from New York City. On the table was some 

 milk which was produced on the farm. The people from the 

 city were very loud in their praises of that milk, and wondered 

 why in the world they could not get milk as good as that at 

 home. I give my word for it, and my wife agreed with me, 

 that in the elegant language of the street it was as " bum " 

 milk as I ever tasted. It was not lacking in flavor. It was 

 lacking in richness and it was full of flavor. 

 Now what was good milk?
