INTRODUCTORY 



This work is designed to follow the physical and 

 chemical examination of milk. The physical examina- 

 tion usually consists in the determination of the specific 

 gravity, sediment, odor, and general appearance. The 

 chemical examination determines the fat percentage, 

 total nitrogen, casein, albumin, milk sugar, acidity, 

 total solids, solids not fat, and preservatives, chiefly 

 formalin. To determine the exact character of milk, 

 physical, chemical, and bacteriological examinations 

 should be made.
