deductions by arranging the animals in classes instead of subjecting bis data to 

 biometrical analysis, and concludes tbat there is a correlation between the form 

 of the body and the production of milk, as all millc breeds conform to a certain 

 type, althougli the "points" of a dairy animal may vary somewhat in different 

 breeds and there are always individual variations. His results are compared 

 with those obtained by other investigators. 



A bibliography of the literature on the subject is appended. 



The milking- trials of 1908, S. II. Whitley (Jour. Brht. Dairy Farmers' 

 Assoc, 23 (1909), pp. JOl-Ly,). — These trials of the British Dairy Farmers' 

 Association were carried out on lines similar to those of previous years. The 

 following table is a summary of the results of the different breeds represented 

 in these trials since 1900 :

 6'26).— The report contains the annual summary of the work of the 14r> associa- 

 tions that were in operation during the year, with tables showing the yields of 

 milk and butter fat and the feed consumption for about 35,000 cows. The

Statistics for Swedish cooperative creameries, 1906, G. Liljhagen {Meddel. 

 K. Landtbr. Styr. [Sn■edcn^, 190S, No. 10 (139), pp. 60 + VII).— The statistics 

 include value of buildings and equipment, number of patrons and of cows, aver- 

 age yield of milk per cow, number of hauling routes, method of heating, lighting, 

 and cooling creameries, uses of milk delivered by patrons, running expenses 

 per 1,000 kg. of milk and per kilogram of butter, help employed, payment for 

 milk and net returns, amount of milk per kilogram of butter, price of butter 

 received by creameries, yields of full-cream, part-skim and skim cheese, and 

 other data. 



Report of the activities of the dairy institute at Proskau, Klein (Ber. 

 Milchic. Inst. Proskau, 1908-9, pp. ^i).— This is the usual annual report and
