Sampling Milk : — The milk of each cow was sampled twice daily 

 for five consecutive days of each week of the trial, and preserved 

 with formaline in tightly corked bottles. The method of sampling 

 consisted in mixing the freshly drawn milk with an especially con- 

 structed mixer, and immediately removing a small dipper full.

 gluten, and some four pounds daily, depending upon the size and
