A NATIVE CHINESE BULL 
The native cattle of China possess an enlargement or “‘hump”’ on the shoulders which is 
characteristic of cattle in the Orient. 
That is their main difference from European breeds. 
In bulls, the enlargement is sometimes ten inches above the level of the back, but in the 
females it is very much smaller. (Fig. 3.) 
properly cared for they might give 
from 20 to 30 pounds of good whole- 
some milk, 
STANDARDIZING MILK 
Many dairies at present add water 
to the milk they sell in order to increase 
their profits. The danger of discase 
germs from the use of impure water is 
apparent, to say nothing of the unfair- 
ness to honest dairymen. Mill offered 
for sale should be analyzed for fat 
with a Babcock tester and a check be 
kept on watering milk. Buffalo milk 
containing less than 10 per cent fat 
and European cows’ milk containing 
less than 3 per cent fat is undoubtedly 
watered milk. Dairymen found guilty 
of adding water should be heavily fined. 
Repetition of the offense should cancel 
the right of such a dairy to sell milk 
to the public. Buffalo milk should be 
sold for at least twice as much as 
foreign cow’s milk, in order to remove 
the temptation to water such milk. 
It would, at such a price, be no higher 
in price for the food value it contains 
than foreign cow’s milk, and based on 
per cent of fat, would be far cheaper. 
It is hoped that modern methods can 
soon be applied to the dairy and other 
animal industries of China, so that
