BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. 



Table I. — Samples of Milk for Boston Market, as delivered at Car by 

 Farmers, taken from C. Brigham Company, at Barre Plains, Mass. 



1 Manifestly not normal milk, therefore not figured in the averages. ^ Sample lost. 



Note. — This milk was afterward mixed and recanned before ship- 

 ping to Boston, making a milk of good standard quality. It will be 

 observed, however, that in point of solids not fat the normal milk 

 varied from 8 to 9.54 per cent; in fat the variation was from 3 to 

 4.3 per cent; and in total solids from 11.48 to 13.32 per cent. It 

 will be noticed also that 13 of the 41 samples of normal milk were 

 below the legal standard in fat, and 15 were below the legal standard 

 in total solids.
