CONCLUSION OF THE CHEMIST. 



In addition to the foregoing work an extensive investigation has been 

 made by this division to determine the best method for estimating the 

 sugar in milk, the results of which have been most satisfactory from a 

 scientific point of view, but which would not be of sufficient interest to . 

 the public for insertion in this report. 



The usual number of analyses of minerals, waters, and miscellaneous 

 objects has also been made, and the results sent to parties interested. 

 These analyses are not made for the private use of the individual for 

 purposes of gain, but only when they appear of some general interest. 

 Even under these regulations much valuable time of the Bureau is con- 

 sumed in such work, and I earnestly recommend that in as far as possi- 

 ble in the future the Bureau be relieved of this burden. Were such 

 the case, much greater progress could be made in those lines of investi- 

 tion which directly affect the great agricultural interests of the country. 



Some special work in the sugar interests of the country, which is now 

 going on, I hope to be able to submit as an appendix to this report in 

 time to secure its publication.
