any moment to descend upon him without either warning or 

 mercy. Facts do not bear this out, however, as reference 

 to the reports of the milk inspectors above will show. Not 

 only do reports of many thousands of analyses from all 

 parts of the country show that average milk contains 13 

 per cent, of solids, but the results of inspections reported 

 above show that even after the milk has gone to the peddler 

 and the stores ninety-nine samples in a hundred stand the 

 test. Mr. Clemence of the Bureau has been studying the 

 question on his own herd, and gives below the result of five 

 tests of the mixed milk of his cows — grade stock of no 

 particular breed.

When milk has 3.75 per cent, of fat it is without much 

 doubt up to the standard, so that this milk, if a complete 

 analysis were made, would probably test from 13.50 to 14 

 per cent, solids.
