reaches the end mark by skimming the milk. From a careful con- 

 sideration of the whole subject, I am convinced that one of the 

 most necessary steps to be taken in milk analysis is to abandon the 

 use of the lactometer." Now in the Kneib case were not the ex- 

 tracts I have just read from Dr. Wanklyn's book, the extract I read 

 from Quevenne, and some other trivial extracts read in your pre-
