MUSGRAVE AND RICHMOND. 



of the stables in general, we can not recommend the use of unboiled, 

 fresh milk in Manila obtainable in the open market for human food, 

 and until conditions are much improved, its use as food for infants seems 

 almost criminal. 



2. Goats' milk is to some extent employed in Manila as an infant food, 

 but the supply has been limited, and it is very dirty and of poor quality 

 as it is put on the market. The quality is shown by the following table :

The Government has recently imported some milch goats from Malta 

 and if suitable food is available and conditions are otherwise found to 

 be satisfactory for the propagation of these animals, this importation will 

 result in doing much good. The reaction of the changed environment 

 upon these animals is still problematical and a study of the milk to be 

 obtained from them after acclimatization remains to be made. Analyses 

 of seven samples of milk .from this herd after the animals had been two 

 months in Manila are given in the following table :
