Composition of the Milk. 



The milk of the several animals of the three breeds tested Las 

 been analyzed to as full an extent as time would permit. 



The intention has been to analyze the milk of each cow on five 

 successive days of each month, and this has been done with a few 

 exceptions. During the time from June, 1888 to April, 1889, the 

 night's milk and morning's milk have been analyzed separately, 

 but since that time equal quantities of the two have been 

 mixed and this mixture has been analyzed. 



The percentage of ash, which is seen to be uniformly .75 per 

 cent, has so far not been determined, but is assumed. An error 

 of .10 per cent, or less is thereby caused, possibly, which falls on 

 the sugar. It is probable that this percentage should be slightly 

 less with the Holsteins and Ayrshires, judging from a few deter- 

 minations that have been made.
