MASS. EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETIN 187. 



We may conclude for the present, at least, that the slime cast out by the 

 clarifier has no nutritional significance, for in amount it is negligible and 

 in quality value there exist no definite data. 



This laboratory has concerned itself with some determinations of fat in 

 sUme to ascertain whether breed or amount of slime affected the per cent, 

 of fat present. No relation can be seen by the authors. The following 

 tables will contribute information which makes this conclusion reason- 

 able: — 



Table VIII. — Determination of Fat in Slime from Different Breeds. 



Likewise no relation can be established between total solids of the cow's 

 milk and the slime produced.
