appeared whether the turnips were fed before milking 

 or after. On the other hand, in a Norwegian experi- 

 ment as high as 2.8 bushels of turnips were fed to cows 

 daily and no turnip taste could be detected in the milk. 

 The cows were fed in one place and milked in another, 

 and so the experimenter concluded that when this taste 

 is observed it is due to absorption by the milk after it is 

 drawn. That warm milk may absorb odors is shown by 

 Russell. These observations illustrate fairly the some- 

 what inconclusive state of the testimony on the points 

 in question.
