execution of the law is vested in the superintendent of the dairy nchoul df tlie 

 university. 



Of 11,058 bottles tested during 9 months, 199 were found incorrectly graduated. 

 A considerable number of pipettes and acid measures were also found incorrectly 

 graduated. The effect of the passage of the law in increasing the accuracy of tlie 

 apparatus used is noted. Of 286 applications for license as operators, 33 were refused 

 because of inaccurate testing.

Report of milk control station in Christiania for 1899 (Nomk Landmans- 

 bJad, 19 {1000), Xu. 6, pp. GS-70) . — Tests of .39,158 samples of milk and other dairy 

 products were made during 1899, the average results per month and year being given 

 in the report. The average fat content for 33,831 samples of whole milk examined 

 during the year was 3.473 per cent (maximum 5, minimum 2.5 per cent), and of 

 4,944 samj^les of cream 17. .304 per cent ("common cream" testing between 11 and 

 24 per cent, and " whipping cream " from 25 to 38 per cent). — f. av. woll. 



Report of the milk control station in Trondhjem, Norway, for 1899 

 {Norsk. Landmandsblad, 19 {1900), No. IS, pp. 197-199). — During the year 55,292 

 samples of dairy products, nearly all whole milk, were received and tested. The 

 average fat content of 55,162 samples of whole milk was 3.57 per cent, against 3.50 

 per cent for 46,473 samples during 1898. The report states that "as is usual, the 

 milk is lowest in fat in the spring, because the majority of the cows drop their calves 

 at this season. It is characteristic .that the fat content of the milk increases suddenly 

 when the cows are let out on pasture. This increase occurs every year in the month 

 of June. The high fat content is maintained during July, or may droj) again then, 

 as was the case in 1895 and 1897. During the fall months the percentages of fat are 

 gradually increased, to decrease again toward the end of the year." The fat con- 

 tents of the. milk tested at the milk control stations at Christiania and Bergen (at 

 each of which stations a similar number of samples of milk are tested annually) 

 show identical changes as those given above. — f. w. woll.
